be anew species. In this neighborhood and at the same time I 

 also collected Nesoprosopis assimilans . 



Two and a half days of my time were spent at the Ranch house 

 of the owner of the Island, which is situated at an elevation of 

 about 1,800 feet at a section called Koele. The collecting I did 

 was therefore of necessity confined to the larger valleys in that 

 locality and more particularly to the sides of these, where, because 

 of protection from the prevailing strong winds, there was still 

 more or less native tree growth which was not wind swept. Of 

 the epidemic insects collected in these valleys at an elevation of 

 2,000 feet were the following: 



t COLEOPTERA 



PROTERHINIDAE Proterhiftiis deceptor and P. innotabilis* on 



Kukui and Ohia 

 cioiDAE Cis calidtis, C. porcatus and C. insularis on 



Ohia. 

 CARABiDAE Colpocaccus taufalus var. lanaiensis from under

DO. {Kalania hawaiiensis) 



{Homoptera) 



DELPHACiDAE '(Nesosyd?ie) 

 OJASSIDAE (, {Nesopkrosyne) 

 All these were beaten off Ohia, 



2 "

 Pua and Naio. 



* Proterhinus innotabilis, Dr. Perkins informs me, is a very variable 

 species and may prove to include several. 



t For the identification of the endemic Coleoptera I am indebted to 

 Dr. R. C. L. Perkins and for that of the Hemiptera to Mr. G. W. Kirkaldy.
