 Fam. Nabidae. 



I formerly treated this as a subfamily of the Eeduviidae, 

 but the labial structure, the venation and the constitution of 

 thb abdominal segments, abundantly justify its rank as a 

 separate family. 



So far as known, the ova are inserted in slits made in leaves 

 or stems (^^) thus widely differing from the true Reduviidae. 



The species are all presumably insectivorous; Reduviolus 

 lativentris preys an the eggs of the butterfly Pieris C^), 

 while Arachnocoris spp. live en famille with colonies of 

 spiders, for what purpose is not quite clear (^^). R. irmotatus 

 is an ally of the Sugar Planter. 



Nesotyphlias gen. nov. 



For the present, this may be briefly separated from Beduvio- 

 lus by the absence of ocelli, by the clavus being fused with the 

 corium, and by the minute membrane. Type Nobis (?) 

 lusciosus White. 



It is true that none of these characters by itself is sufficient 

 to form a genus, but taken together and considered from the 

 special aspects of the Hawaiian Fauna, I think the recognition 

 of this and the allied species as a separate, well defined group 

 of Nabidae is justified. 



12 lusciosus (F. B. White.) 



There are, I think, more than one species standing, in my 

 collection, under this name. The nymphs are not remarkable. 

 They have well-developed tegminal pads and are found on koa 

 and ohia, on the lookout for prey. 



Reduviolus Kirby. 



In the "Fauna Ilawaiiensis," I have fallen into confusion 

 over three species. They are as follows: 



(a) iNNOTATus Blackburn^i^. hlaclchurm Kirkaldy, an 

 Australian immigrant (not Blackburn).
