12 FAUNA HAWAIIENSIS 



(8) Brachymetopa mauiensis, sp. nov. 



Nitida, viridis. Mandibulae apices versus nigrae. Frons pallida, juxta basim 

 mandibularum utrinque nigropunctata. Tegmina fortiter reticulatim venosa, capite 

 cum pronoto breviora. Tibiae posticae externe inermes. Unci cercorum $ superiores 

 breves, inferiores suberecti et his multo longiores. ^?. 



Long, corporis $ i8, $ 21 mm.; fastigii vert. ^ i, ? r25mm.; pronoti $ 5-5, 

 $ 5"5 mm.; tegminum $ 8 — 8'5, $ 8-5 mm.; femorum post. $ 10, ? 11 '5 mm.; ovi- 

 positoris 10 mm. (Plate I. fig. 5; and Plate II. figs. 4 & ^a.) 



Brachymetopa mauiensis, var. ochracea, var. nov. % major (long. 24 mm.), colore 

 ochraceo. 



Hab. Maui. West Maui Mts. in the lao Valley. Z%- Haleakala (4000 ft.) t- 

 The ti from the latter locality have the tegmina slightly longer, but otherwise agree 

 exactly with that from the distant western mountains. Var. ochracea, lao Valley i %. 



(9) Brachymetopa molokaiensis, sp. nov. 



Viridis, praecedenti cognatissima, sed minus nitida. $ unco superiore cercorum 

 multo longiore et fortiore : ? tegminibus apices versus magis longitudinaliter venosis, 

 minus reticulatis, bene distinguenda. <??. 



Long, corporis $ 20, ? 25 mm.; fastigii vert. ^ i"5, ? 175 mm.; pronoti $ 5*5 — 6, 

 ^ 6 mm.; tegminum $ 8*5 — 10, ? 10 mm.; femorum post. $ 1 1 '5, ? i2"5 mm.; ovi- 

 positoris 1 1"5 mm. 



Hab. Mountains of Molokai (3000 — 4000 ft.). 



The species here described was assigned partly {$) to B. nitida, and partly (?) to 

 B. deplanata by Herr Brunner. The Z is quite distinct from the former by the 

 unarmed outer margin of the posterior tibiae, and by the cerci, and the % taken in 

 the same locality agrees so well in most respects with the Z that I have little doubt 

 of its identity.

Brachymetopa deplanata, Brunner Proc. Zool. Soc. Lond. 1895, p. 894. 



(Plate I. fig. 7; and Plate II. figs. 3 & 3«.) 



The Z of this species (I have not seen an adult $) is very distinct from any other, 

 by the very short tegmina, which are subequal to the pronotum in length, and the 

 cerci are also peculiar, the upper hook being simply transverse in direction and slightly
