Brachypterous form similar to above but the tegmina only reach-

 base and along apical margin, fuscous over median portion. Length 

 of tegmen 1 mm.

 This species is a near ally of K. paluduni Kirk. 



K. pahidum Kirk. PI. V, fig-s. 18-a. 



This s])eeies was described by Kirkaldy from specimens 

 taken on Oahii, Hawaiian Islands, and afterward taken by 

 I). T. Fulhiway in Laysan Island to the northwest. I now 

 find s])eciniens among' our material from Fiji, Queensland, 

 Java, Ceylon and the Philippines. The genitalia of specimens 

 from these widely separated localities are similar but the color- 

 ation varies. The prevailing color of the Hawaiian s])ecimens 

 is brownish yellow with a variable amount of infuscation on the 

 face between the carinae and over the abdomen; there is a 

 tendency for the mesonotum to darken and for a ting(^ of 

 fuscous to appear over the claval and cubital cells. Among the 

 nine specimens from Rewa, Ba and JSTavua, Fiji, the color is 

 diirker (('xc('])t the ])ronotum nud carinae of head) especially 

 the mesonotum which is dark and shiny in some specimens; in 

 the two Queensland specimens, the one from Pekalongan, Java, 

 the one from Ceylon and the five specimens from IMt. Maqui- 

 ling, Luzon, this tcMidency is cari'i(>(l still further. In some of 

 the Philippine specimens the pronotum and the carinae of the 

 frons stand out very light against the dark intercarinal spaces 

 and the shiny dark mesonotum ; the al)domen is also dark 

 brown in these specimens. 



In spite of this difference in coloration I do not feel jus- 

 tified in giving a specific, or even a subspecific, name to any 

 of these geographical varieties. While the Queensland, Java 

 and Philippine specimens could be grouped together it would 

 l)e difficult to place the Fiji specimens in either groups, as
