RESULTS 
More than 500 specimens were collected in the field survey con¬ 
ducted in September 1973. The majority of these specimens were sent 
to the National Museum of Natural History, Smithsonian Institution, 
Washington, DC, for identification. Smaller increments were sent to 
the Bernice P. Bishop Museum, Honolulu, HI, to the American Museum 
of Natural History, New York, NY, and to a few individual specialists. 
Most of the material has now been identified, and the remainder of 
this report provides the results of these determinations. Additional 
identifications will be forthcoming when competent authorities have 
the opportunity to examine the small number of as yet unidentified 
specimens. 
The following annotated list provides, in addition to names of 
taxa, the date(s) of collection, the island(s) of collection, and 
mammalian host where applicable. Also, taxa reported from the Phoenix 
Islands group for the first time are denoted by an asterisk preceding 
the name of the individual taxon, and new island records are indicated 
by an asterisk following the name of the island. The 53 new records 
O- 
brings to 195 the number of insect and related species of arthropods 
reported from the Phoenix Islands.
