This species, originally described from Amboina, is now known 
to be widely distributed through the islands of the southern Pacific. 
It was first correctly recorded from Hawaii by Perkins,*° who also 
included in his list Methana ligata Brunner, possibly mistaking 
immatures of the present insect for adults of that species. Brun- 
ner** records Methana ligata as from Hawaii on the authority of 
Bormans, but on turning to the citation*? we find that Periplaneta 
ligata had instead been recorded. It would appear almost certain 
that all the Hawaiian records of either Periplaneta ligata or Me- 
thana ligata are properly referable to Cutilia soror. 
The caudal metatarsus is elongate and biseriately spined beneath, bear- 
ing a large distal pulvillus. This feature is characteristic of the genus Cu- 
tilia, distinguishing it from the related Platyzosteria—according to Shelford, 
who, however, placed soror in the latter genus,” though Kirby had already 
referred it to Cutilia.™ 
The insect is said to be almost as common in the houses at 
Honolulu as P. decorata (= Neostylopyga rhombifolia (Stoll) ).
