specimen being taken at the docks in London, and at Co vent 

 Garden Market. (Burr, "British Orthoptera," p. 27, 1897). 

 At a meeting of the South London Entomological and Natural 

 History Society, Mr. W. J. Lucas exhibited specimens among 

 some "recent uninvited visitors to Kew Gardens, from the 

 Belgian Congo." (Entomologist, XXXII, p. 43, 1899.) 



I find no records of the occurrence of this species in the 

 United States; but J. B. Smith, in his Catalogue of New Jersey 

 Insects (1899), mentions two related species, Panchlora viridis 

 Burm., and P. exoleta Burm. as "found occasionally in cities and 

 towns imported with tropical fruits." Another near relative, 

 Leucophoea surinamensis (Fabr.), has been reported from New 

 Orleans, eating palms and ferns in a green-house; and from 

 Puerta Gorda in the extreme south of Florida (Insect Life, V, 

 pp. 201, 268, 1892). 



Mr. Kotinsky stated that Mr. A. N. Caudell, Orthopterist of 

 the U. S. National Museum at Washington, had determined the 

 pink- winged Tryxalid to be a species of Atractomorpha'^ .

The Insects of Tantalus 



As a subject for the Annual Presidential Address I have

 on that part of the Honolulu mountains known as Tantalus and 



* Since identified as A. crenaticcps Blanch, by Mr. Swezey and con- 

 firmed by Mr. L. Bruner. This species is found in Austraha and New- 

 Guinea, and has been accidentally introduced into the Hawaiian Isles.
