There is one specimen from James Island without an abdo- 

 men which I believe to be a male. Two nymphs from James 

 Island, dark brown, marked with light down the middle of 

 abdomen and on head and thorax, with two median facial 

 carinae and the antennae are short, the first joint abont as long 

 as wide. 



Notes on Collection of Hawaiian Insects on Island of Maui. 



BY D. T. FULLAWAY AXD W. M. GIFFAKD. 



Xotwithstanding the very rainy weather which prevailed 

 on the Island of Maui during last June, several short collecting 

 trips were made on the slopes of Haleakala, the Wailuku Com- 

 mons and in the western part of the Island. Altogether at- 

 tempts were made to collect on five separate days, but the con- 

 tinuous rain, drizzle and fog on the mountain and in the valleys 

 were such that the vegetation and collecting outfits were thor- 

 oughly saturated most of the time. Because of this, much in- 

 convenience in collecting and losses in insects were sustained 

 and results were less satisfactory than they might have other- 

 wise been. During the entire period a total of twelve hours 

 actual collecting was all that could be obtained. 



The most favorable locality on this visit was Olinda, along 

 tlie pipe line, at an elevation of 4200 feet. There is a fair 

 automobile road up to within a mile of the lower end of the 

 trail, the latter extending for some distance into an interesting- 

 forest region. The further along this trail the weather and 

 other conditions allow one to tramp and collect the more inter- 

 esting it becomes. Unfortunately the weather did not permit 

 us to penetrate very far from our headquarters although two 

 attempts were made. Even under the existing conditions there 

 were collected several very interesting species of Carabids 

 including Baryneus sh-arpi, Atelothrus, Metromenus, Meiro- 

 fhorax (two species) and others undeterminable, Plagithmysus 

 peimalKS, and flnsrld, Chjtarlus vestitus. Proterhinus lecontci
