slightly diverging towards apex; aedeagus small, with a large barb 

 at the apex; genital styles small, slightly narrowed in middle, apex 

 obliquely truncate, inner corner slightly produced. 

 Length 2.3 mm.; tegmen 1.5 mm. 



$ The female I associate with this male is similar in color. 

 Length 3 mm.; tegmen 2.3 mm. 



Ilab. Lanai, north end of highest ridge, 3,000 feet eleva- 

 tion. This species is isolated; it may come near to N. palusttis 

 Kirk, of which I have only seen a female. 



Genns Kelisia Fieber. 



The four .species of this genus recorded from the archipelago 

 have the face slightly broader and the sides more arcnate than 

 in the type species. The endemism of these insects is doubtful. 



K. sporohoHrola Kirk. PI. V, figs. 21, 21a. 



Anal segment sunk into dorsal edge of pygophor, spines on 

 ventro-lateral edges large, thick, with blunt apices; genital styles 

 "leg-of-mutton" shape with blunt apex (viewed in situ they appear 

 much more slender; the figure is from specimen mounted in balsam); 

 aedeagus long, thin, tubular, apex acute, orifice on ventral side one- 

 third from apex; from a dorso-median position arises a small ser- 

 rated crest. 



K. sirrzcyi Kirk. PI. V, figs. 20, 20a. 



Genitalia similar to A'. Nporoholicold Kirk, but the aedeagus more 

 slender, orifice nearer to apex, the dorsal crest replaced by a few 

 teeth, and the genital styles more slender. 



Female similar to male, with two distinct black marks on the 

 abdomen, one on each side of the ovipositor near the apex, ovipositor 

 brown. 



The typo locality is Kalihi, Oahu (Swezey, March, 1906), 

 but recently it has l)een taken at Xuuanu Pali (Timberlake 

 and Swezey, October, 101 (>) ((Jiffard, Xoveml)er, 1910)^ off 

 Eracjrostis variahilis Gaud. 



K. jxihiihiin Kirk. PI. V, figs. IS, 18a. 



Pygophor deeply emarginate on dorsal edge where anal segment 

 is sunk into pygophor; anal spines acute; genital styles short, widest 

 at apex and base, apex truncate; aedeagus small, tubular, basal half 

 larger than apical half, dorsal surface of basal half corrugated. 

 This is very distinct from the former species. Taken by :\Ir. Fulla- 

 way in Laysan Island.* 



* Now known from several places in south and southeastern 

 Pacific.
