COLEOPTERA 



(6) Clytarlus modestus Sharp. 



101 



Clytarlus tnodestus Sharp, Tr. ent. Soc. 1879, p. 104. 



Hab. Maui; Haleakala, 4 — 5000 ft. in April and May, "on Acacia falcata" 

 Blackburn ; Haleakala, 5000 ft. May, Perkins. On Acacia koa. 



(7) Clytarlus claviger, sp. nov. 



Secundum sexum diversus. Mas, rufus, albido-pubescens, elytris fere nudis, in 

 medio longitudinaliter breviter albido-signatis, femoribus abrupte clavatis, clava nigra. 

 Fern., fusca, albido-pubescens, antennis pedibusque testaceis, his gracilibus, clava fusca, 

 gracili. Long. % 7^ millim. 



This is closely allied to C. modestus. The thorax is a little cristate along the 

 middle. The punctuation of the elytra is dense and fine, and leaves the surface a little 

 shining. 



Hab. Hawaii ; Kilauea, June 1895. O^i Acacia koa. 



Although only two males and one female have been obtained, and the two indi- 

 viduals of the male sex are very different in appearance, yet I have little doubt that 

 they belong to one species, and are distinct from C. niodesttis. The male is readily 

 distinguished by the black femoral club, and the female by its larger size and darker 

 colour. The individual of the female sex is very different from the males. 



(8) Clytarlus laticollis, sp. nov. 



Rufo-testaceus, parum pubescens ; pedibus minus elongatis, femoribus clava rufa, 

 elongata ; thorace densisissime punctato, medio late obtuseque elevato ; elytris fortiter 

 punctatis, medio plagis obsoletis albido-pubescentibus. Long. 775 millim. 



Only one specimen — a male — has been obtained. The species has the clubbed 

 legs of Clytarlus, but the slender stalk is less elongate than in the normal Clytarlus, 

 being in fact only as long as the club. Thorax broad and short, extremely densely 

 punctured, almost without pubescence, with a broad elevation — rather than a crest- 

 along the middle, and with five or six transverse elevations on this. Elytra much 

 narrowed behind, strongly punctured at the base, obsoletely at the tip, with very litde 

 pubescence but with a small divided mark of scanty white hairs on the middle. 



Hab. Maui; Haleakala, 5000ft. May 1896, Perkins. On Acacia koa.
