NOTES AND EXHIBITIONS. 



Halohates f>p. — Mr. Peniberton reported finding this bng 

 in hundreds at Waikiki beach, January 19th. It was during 

 a ''Kona" storm. They were in foot-prints in the sand. Xone 

 were to be found the following day. 



Lucilia dux. — Mr. Kulms exhibited specimens of this fly 

 reared from maggots found floating in large numbers on the 

 surface of the water of Pearl Harbor, January 16th. He 

 inferred that they must have been washed in from some dead 

 animal on the beach. There had been much rain and high 

 water which would have made this possible. 



Chrysopa niicrupli ija. — Air. Ehrhorn exhibited a cocoon of 

 this lace-wing fly made beneath an empty pupa of a lady-beetle 

 on an avocado leaf. 



Pseudococcns loinishiirijL — Mr. Ehrhorn exhibited this 

 mealybug on bulbs of Zepharanthus, and reported it as occur- 

 ring also on bullis of Crinum, the spider lily, and other such 

 plants. It was first recorded in Africa on A cj a pa nth us:. 



Araucaria apliid. — ]\[r. Timl)erlake exhibited a mounted 

 s])ecimen of an aphid foimd abundant on tips of young shoots 

 of Araucaria in Kapiolani Park, January 30th. It was appar- 

 ently a species not previously observed here, as it is not in 

 Fullaway's catalogue of the Aphidida? of Hawaii.

 collected a consideral)l(' nundjer of Delphacids at Ivilauea, Ha- 

 waii, on trips made in October, 1915, and January, 1916.

 sonal occurrence, etc.
