41. Aphanocorynes humeralis Marshall View in CoL ,

Insects of Samoa 4 (5): 334, fig. 27, 1931 (pl. 4,D).

One specimen of what I believe to be this species was collected from pigeon peas at Barrigada, June 24, 1936, by Swezey. The following specimens are in the Bishop Museum collections: five, Fanning Island , Dec. 2, 1924, S. C. Ball; one, Palmyra Island , June 13, C. M. Cooke, Jr.; one, Washington Island , Aug. 18, 1924, L. A. Whitney; and one, Aunuu Islet, Tutuila, Samoa, Feb. 1930, Fullaway. The species has heretofore been reported from only Upolu and Tutuila, Samoa.

This series of specimens appears to me to show intergradations of certain characters between Aphanocorynes humeralis Marshall and A. savaiiensis Marshall. A. savaiiensis was described from a unique, and I have not seen it.
