Vallej to the peak called Konaliiunini, Oct. -Tl, 1892. On 

 Bohea sp." (Perkins). 



Sharp again mentions the species in Fanna Hawaiiensis, 

 Til, p 649, 1910. "Oalm, X. W. Koolan Range, April, 1901, 

 two specimens (Perkins). Only six individuals are known of 

 Callitlimysus rmcrogaster. They come, I believe, from three 

 different spots on Oahn, and seem to indicate the probable ex- 

 istence of local races." 



Perkins in his paper on "The Insects of Tantalus", Proc. 

 Haw, Ent. Soc, I, p. 4."). 19()(;, states that C. inicrof/mie}- oc- 

 curs on Bohea. He says, "I ha\e taken microgaster in May, 

 June and ISToveniber. The larvae I have taken in numbers but 

 the beetles rarely and singly". 



At the SeptemlxT 191:' meeting of the Hawaiian Entomo- 

 logical Society, ^Iv. Giffard exhibited a specimen of C. micro- 

 gaster which had Ix-en given him by ^ir. Koebele. (Proc. 

 Haw. Ent. Soc, III, p. 14, 1914). 



Recently, I have had the good fortune to rear a specimen 

 of this beautiful beetle. In a fallen tree of Perrottetia mndwi- 

 censis blocking the Cooke Trail a little below the Pauoa Flats, 

 on January 12, 1919, I found several Cerambycid larvae. I 

 c"t out a section of the tree about ten inches long and three 

 inches in diameter, containing a larva which seemed to be 

 nearlj full-grown. I placed this in a glass jar in the laboratory 

 at the Experiment Station, and had an occasional look to see 

 how the larva was getting on. It continued eating and migrat- 

 ing round in the outer layer of wood just beneath the bark. 

 On February 19, it was found to have burrowed deeper into 

 the wood; and on March 25, a fine adult beetle was found 

 moving about in the jar. From Dr. Sharp's characterization 

 of the variety, this would be var. MHipes. This is not far from 

 where Dr. Perkins collected his specimen of hirtipes on Bohea.
