a 
Hebard—Dermaptera and Orthoptera of Hawaii el 
Opportunity to examine Hawaiian material has proved beyond 
question the synonymy indicated above. The description of hospes 
is insufficient to make determination possible from it alone and the 
appended statement by Brunner, that the species is allied to con- 
Spersa, misled us completely; Phyllodromia conspersa Brunner is 
a South American member of the genus Neoblattella, referable to 
the Group Blatellae, and Symploce is a member of the group 
Ischnopterae, the genus showing an Epilamprine tendency. 
Perkins apparently did not have a specimen of the female, 
which on account of its deeper color and short, quadrate tegmina, 
has a very different general facies from the male. 
Illingworth has published some interesting notes on_ this 
species.?°

Comparison with the original description and material of saka- 
lava from the Comoro Islands and German Fast Africa, in the col- 
lection of the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia, offers 
full proof of the synonymy indicated above. In addition, a female 
is at hand from Tahiti, taken June 6, 1906, by O. E. Brenner, and 
now in the collection of the United States National Museum. 
We refer.the species to the genus Loboptera, as comparison
