NOTES AND KX II IBITIOXS. 



Sdicopliaya fuycicaitda. — ]\lr. Timberlake stated that Dr. 

 K. E. Parker had determined for him our unnamed species 

 of Sarcophagn as S. fiisclcauda Bottcher, described in Ent. 

 Mitt. I (()) 1912, p. 168, fig. 5, from Formosa. It is not 

 known how man}' years the species -has been in Hawaii. The 

 earliest specimen taken was by F. W. Terry in 1905. 



Exoclius femoralis. — Mr. Timberlake exhibited a specimen 

 vi this Ichneumonid captured on the window in the laboratory 

 of the Experiment Station, H. S. P. A. Apparently this is as 

 yet a rare immigrant, as only an o;x'asional specimen has been 

 taken. 



Japyx sJiarpi. — ]Mr. ^fuir exhibited a live specimen of this 

 rare Thysanuran, found in examining some soil from Kauai. 



Ilevaheva giffardi. — Mr. Swezey reported liaving collected 

 large numbers of this Psyllid on Platydomni ((iiii pmniidta at 

 Glcnwood, IFawaii. There were no galls jn'cscnt on the leaves, 

 nor could any young stages be found, so the habits of the 

 young of this species could not be ascertained. 



Megatrioza palmicola. — Mr. Swezey exhibited adults and 

 young of the palm Psyllid collected on a native Pntrhardia 

 near Glenwood, Hawaii. The young live externally on the 

 leaves, not in galls, and produce a large quantity of woolly wax. 



(hririlaria hihiscclhi. — ^Ir. Swezey exhil)ii-(^d leaves of 

 Hibiscus taken from hedges in Hilo, Hawaii, that were very 

 much mined by this little Tineid. In many of the hedges 

 there the infestation was so severe that the leaves were falling 

 and leaving the hedge nearly bare. Many of the mines were 

 found to contain parasites. Some wei-e bred out.
