Hab. — Olaa, Hawaii, near Kilauea (29 miles from Hilo) 

 in the forest. The unique example of this beautiful species 

 was taken "at large" by Mr. W. M. Giffard in August, 1913, 

 and is in his collection. This specimen has a slight bare mark 

 in the yellow pronotal bands and this may be due to abrasion, 

 as the hairs of the tibiae and tarsi appear to have been wet. 

 This bare mark is not present in my bred elegans. It is No. 10 

 in the consignment of species. 



21. Six examples of P. acstivns from Kalamaula, Molokai, 

 taken in April, 1907, I must have seen previously, as I have a 

 note of their occurrence. They differ in no wise from the 

 original examples, the locality lying between the two spots, 

 whence these came, and only a short distance from eitlier. 

 The species is always on Ohia lehua. 



1. P. solitariiis female, with the femora thick and well 

 developed for this sex, the specimen collected by Koebele. This 

 species is generally distributed over the Koolau range from the 

 neighborhood of Honolulu to parts above Waialua and Waimea 

 wherever the Ohia ha (Eugenia) grows. However, on one 

 occasion specimens were actually bred from the Ohia lehua on 

 Tantalus. In 1900 nearly all the larvae in that locality (though 

 numerous) were parasitized by the two species of Ischiogonns, 

 but in February, 1903, a series of the beetle, including black- 

 legged examples, was taken there, and in October, 1906, a 

 single example, flying across the road. I did not attempt to 

 breed any from more distant localities, so do not know whether 

 it was similarly parasitized in these. 



A single specimen, not numbered but labeled by myself 

 "Clytarlus undescribed sp.," is a female of P. immundiis Sb., 

 which was bred by me from dead wood brought from Kona, 

 and supposed to be that of the tree Charpenticra. It is a most 

 variable species, red, black, or particolored, and has the weak 

 clothing of the hind tibiae and metatarsi characteristic of 

 Clytarlus. 



Callithmysus. 



As recorded by Swezey (Proc. Haw. Ent. Soc. 1919, p. 265), 

 C. micro gaster var. hirtipes was bred by him from Perrottetia
