1891. 



Icerya is said to have made its appearance in the Hawaiian islands 

 during the spring of 1889, but widely distributed in i8go — in about 50 gar- 

 dens in Honolulu. The pest is thought to have come in on fruit from Cal- 

 ifornia. The predaceous Vedalia beetle was introduced from California, and 

 by November, 1890, Icerya was rare.

McLachlan suggests that Dciclut fasciata Kirby is probably a mistaken 

 locality — since this dragon fly does not occur in Hawaii (p. 177). A new 

 Myrmeleonidae, Formicaleo witsoni n.sp., from Lanai, is described.

The act provides for guarding against the introduction of plant dis- 

 eases or insect pests and the suppression of those already affecting agri- 

 cultural products and live stock.

Work in Honolulu is referred to on page 5 and again on page II, 



where the following pests are discussed : Dactylopius spp., Pulvinaria 



t'sidii Mask., Lccmtiuin acuminatum Sign., L. dcl'rcssum Sign., and L. 



tongulum Dougl. The introduction of Cryptolacmus montrouzieri Muls. and 



Rhizobius spp. is recommended. Koebele further states that a number of 



Chilocorus bivulcncrus Muls. were turned loose in good condition. He also 



found internal parasites preying upon the various species of Lecanidae in
