* O.intertropica, Walk., is a widely distributed species which, in the Sandwich Is. at any rate, is parasitic on the short-eared owl: it has not been recorded from Africa, but, besides occurring in the Sandwich Is., is also found in Mexico and Brazil. As stated elsewhere by the present writer (cf. Ann. and Mag. Nat. Hist., Ser. 7, Vol. xii, p. 264, 1903)Google Scholar, Olfersia acarta, Speiser, is apparently a synonym of this species.
