Aloha sivezey'i. — INfr. Tiinl)erlake reported captiiriiii!: this ^ 



leafhopper on Cainpyloflwca on ^It. Tantalns. 



.1 )U'ir Jassid. — ^Ir. Giffard cxliil)itod specimens of a pret- 

 ty little Jassid new to the Islands, which he had captured on ly 

 l>inicli iirass (EragroKtis r<ii-iahiUs) near Diamond Head. He 

 also exhibited a green -Tassid from o'rass. 



S 1)0(1 opt era niaiirilin. — INIr. Bridwell exhibited two of this 

 moth caught on a sand burr (Cenckrus echinatus). 



Blapsliiiiis sp. — Mr. Bridwell called attention to the fact 

 that this beetle had not been correctly recorded heretofore, but 

 in collections had been labelled Alphitohiiis diaperinus. The 

 latter, however, is a much rarer beetle, only two or three speci- 

 mens occurring- in collections here. Discussing other Tenebri- 

 onids, ^Ir. Bridwell said that (ionoceplKdum {Opatrum) seri- 

 afinii was tirst known frcun the Marshall Islands, and that 

 Blackburn had cre(lited it to these Islands without giving 

 authority for his determination. The original description is 

 entirely insufficient for identification of the species and might 

 apply to any (JonoccpJiahnn. Whether our very common spe- 

 cies is really seiiafiiin seems doubtful. Sciophnf/us paiid-anicola 

 reported by Blackburn from Pandaiuis has not since been col- 

 lected. 



EucoUa sp. — ]Mr. Timberlake exhibited a specimen of Eii- 

 roilii reared from Fipiiiicuhis. ]\Ir. ]Muir had reared the Pi- 

 pinicuhis from a Delphacid. The Eucoila must have entered 

 the Plpiincidiis Avhile still in the Delphacid. 



(Jelcrliia gossypiella. — Air. Bridwell reported having bred 

 the pink boll-worm from milo {Thespesia popuhiea) pods 

 brought by ]\Ir. Stokes from one of the small islands on the 

 windward side of Oahu. When j\Ir. Busck made a study of 

 the ])ink boll-worm in Hawaii he failed to find it breeding iij, 

 milo pods, and (questioned it as a food-plant of this moth.
