OF ZOOLOGY AND EMTOMOLOGY, UNIVERSITY OF HAWAIIHONOLULU, HAWAII(Presented at the meeting of October 13, 1958)Through the courtesy of Mr. Aylmer Robinson the junior authorwas enabled to spend a week on the island of Niihau during the monthof August, 1947, for the purpose of making a survey of the insect faunaof that island. Because of the extremely dry condition of Niihau duringthe summer months, the collection secured undoubtedly represents onlya portion of the insects present. Many additional species certainly couldbe collected during the wetter winter months.We are grateful to D. E. Hardy for determination of the Diptera, E. J.Ford, Jr., for the Coleoptera, K. Sakimura for the Thysanoptera, C. M.Yoshimoto for certain of the aculeate Hymenoptera, E. S. Ross for theEmbioptera, and Mrs. Betty Defibaugh Pelot for preparation of the scaleinsects. The remainder of the determinations were made by Beardsley.The only previously published records of Niihau insects are those ofFullaway (Proc. Haw. Ent. Soc. 13(1) :51-53, 1947) and Bonnet (Proc.Haw. Ent. Soc. 16(3) :330, 1958).
