Ccrcyon quisqniUus Linn, and Cryptopleiirum minnfns 

 Fab. — Two Hydrophyllids living in cowdiing-, where they 

 are predacious on other insects. Alore or less cosmopolitan 

 species. 



Oxyfcliis sciilpfiis Grav. — A Staphilinid found in cow-

These are the first published records of these beetles in 

 Hawaii. However, Afaenius cognatus is the beetle recorded 

 in the Fauna Hawaiiensis as A. sterc orator (Fab.). The six 

 following species of the list have not been previously recorded, 

 but their presence has been known for a number of years, so 

 that they are not to be considered as newly arrived immigrants. 



Report of Committee on Common Names of Economic 

 Insects in Hawaii. 



In the preparation of its report this Committee has found 

 it advisable to make a few corrections to the list of common 

 names adopted by the Society on March 6, 1913 (published in 

 these Proceedings, vol. 2, pp. 296-300), as well as to present 

 many new names. The correction of the old names has been 

 made necessary through increased knowledge of the habits, 

 distribution, etc., of the insects, or because the old name has 

 proved to be of too general application. Whenever possible a 

 name already in use here or elsewhere has been adopted, espe- 

 cially for the insects found in the lists of common names 

 adopted by the American Association of Economic Entomolo- 

 gists.
