COLEOPTERA 97 



Group CALLIDIOPSIDES. 



Ceresium Newman. 



(i) Ceresium simplex Gyll. 



Stenocoriis simplex Gyll. in Schonherr Syn. Ins. App. i, 3, p. 178. 

 Ceresium simplex Sharp, Tr. Ent. Soc. London, 1878, p. 203. 



Hab. Oahu ; Honolulu, Blackburn, Perkins; Waialua, Perkins. — Molokai, 

 Perkins. — Maui ; Wailuku, Perkins. 



The species is widely distributed in the Pacific islands, but the record of it as 

 occurring in New Zealand [Callidium zelandicum Blanchard, Voyage Pole sud, 

 IV. p. 272, PL XVII. fig. 4) was probably erroneous; Blanchard's figure does not 

 appear to represent this species. It probably occurs on all the islands where the 

 introduced Acacia — Prosopis, sp. } — is found. It comes freely to light and has been 

 noticed by Mr Perkins on all the islands except Lanai, though I have mentioned above 

 only localities that have been specially noted. 



CuRTOMERUS Steph. 

 ( I ) Curtomerus pilicornis Fab. 



Callidium pilicorne Fab., Ent. Syst. i. 2, p. 327. 

 Curtomerus hiteus Steph., 111. Brit. Ent. iv. p. 249. 

 Sotenus setiger Sharp, Tr. Ent. Soc. London, 1878, p. 205. 



Hab. Oahu ; Honolulu, Blackburn, Perkins. — Also seen on Maui at Lahaina. 

 The species is no doubt liable to be carried about, having been found on one occasion 

 in England. Other localities are South America, the W. India islands, and Florida. 



Group CLYTIDES. 



Clytus Laich. 

 (i) Clytus cidnicornis Chevr.

Hab. Oahu; Blackburn, Perkins. — Kauai; Perkins*.— Molokai, Perkins. — Abun- 

 dant all over the islands, on the introduced Acacia, Prosopis, sp. This is a Central 

 American species.
