before the coming of civilization. The native genus Paratrigoni- 
dium is represented by ten species in the material before us and 
most of the sixteen species recognized by Perkins are, we believe, 
valid. In addition the Prognathogryllides, a group erected by 
Perkins, is peculiar to Hawai. We find that three instead of five 
genera are represented: the first genus by at least three species, 
possibly by five, the second by one, and the third by a few species 
but certainly not by eleven, as Perkins supposed.

These specimens agree closely with material from Japan and 
from Shanghai, China, in the collections of the Philadelphia Acad- 
emy. We agree with Hirase® in considering Scudder’s G. orvyctes, 
described from Shanghai, China, a synonym of the present, very 
‘widely distributed, species. 
The first record of this species in Hawaii outside the island 
of Oahu was that by Swezey, from Waimea, Kauai.**
