captured by Mr. SAvezey on Pritchardia, Mt. Olympus, Oaliii. 

 It is ^vell known to be polyphagons. Several . other spcciiiiciis 

 were taken by him from Ewpliorhia in Manoa Valley. These 

 pre of the paler form, and hardly differ from slightly faded 

 examples of var. chryseis. One of the males is much larger 

 than the other. I have great doubt whether P. niinuiiii>; is 

 more than a depauperated form of this same species. 



>'OTES AXD EXHIBITIONS. 



Clcrid beetle, — Mr. Pemberton exhibited specimens of a 

 species of Cleridae taken by him on dead wood of Monkey-pod 

 tree (Samanea saman) brought to the Experiment Station, 

 IT. S. P. A., from their forestry nursery near Vineyard Street 

 tmd Nuuanu. The species is apparently a previously unre- 

 corded immigrant. 



Bostrychid beetle. — Mr. Bridwell exhibited specimens of 

 an undetermined Bostrychid taken from a packing case in 

 which cigars had been imported froui Manila. The species 

 does not • seem to have become established. Mr. Ehrhorn re- 

 called taking a beetle under similar conditions, and examina- 

 tion of specimens showed this to be the same species. The 

 box was made of a native Philippine wood which jMr. J. F. 

 Rock considered as probably a species of tropical cedar. A 

 general discussion of the introduction of insects in commerce 

 other than those articles subject to plant quarantine inspection 

 followed. 



CeJerlo s]i.*^ — Mr. Bryan exhibited a specimen of an uu- 

 described endemic species of the Sphingid genus Celerio Taken 

 by him on the ascent from Manoa Valley to Pauoa Flats, 

 Oahu, October 5th, 1919. The only specimens of this s|)ecies 

 heretofore known are a very much rubbed specimen taken l\v 

 Mr. Swezey at Palolo Crater, September 3rd, UMXi. and 

 another very much deformed s])ecinH'n In-ecl l)y ^fr. Swezey
