I02 FAUNA HAWAIIENSIS 



(9) Clytarlus abnorinis, sp. nov. 



Rufus, pectore fusco ; pedibus minus elongatis ; thorace densisissime punctate, 

 supra inaequali, haud cristate ; elytris dense, subtiliter punctatis, singulo posterius ad 

 suturam linea pubescentiae albidescente. Long. 9*5 millim. 



Only one specimen — a male — -has been received of this distinct species ; the legs 

 are formed much as in C. laticollis, but in several other respects the two species are 

 very distinct. The thorax is not like that of any other species ; it is very densely 

 punctured above, and has no transverse elevations or scabrosities along the middle, but 

 has an obtuse conical tubercle in front, and a broad obscure elevation behind ; the 

 surface is also more prominent on each side, so that the dorsum is very uneven. The 

 elytra are rather shining ; the line of pubescence along the suture of each extends from 

 the tip to a little in front of the middle, and there are a few additional pallid hairs on 

 the outside of each line where it ends. The club of the hind femora is elongate and 

 very gradual. 



Hab. Hawaii; Olaa, September 1896. Probably attached to Metrosideros or 

 Straussia ; not to Acacia, as there are none growing in the locality of its occurrence. 



(10) Clytarlus pennatus Sharp. 



Clytarlus pennatus Sharp, Tr. ent. Soc. London 1881, p. 532. 



(Plate VL fig. 2 $, fig. 3 ?.) 



The specimen originally described was a male. Both sexes vary much in size ; 

 the female is more slender, and the legs are much thinner and bear but little pubescence. 

 A fine series has now been obtained ; the variation is considerable as regards colour, 

 size (8 — 1 2^ millim.) and pubescence, but is nothing like so great as it is in several 

 species of Plagithmystis. 



Hab. Maui ; Haleakala, Blackburn ; Haleakala, 5000 ft. February and May, 

 Perkins. On Acacia koa. Mr Blackburn originally met with this species "on the 

 same tree as Proterhinus lecontei." C. pennatus and P. lecontei, according to Mr 

 Perkins' observations, live on different species of trees, so that the earlier record was 

 probably based on a mere accidental occurrence. 



(11) Clytarlus nodifer, sp. nov. 



Fuscus, vel testaceus, dense albido-pubescens, elytris vel fasciis interruptis duabus, 

 vel maculis quatuor denudatis ; pedibus testaceis minus elongatis ; maris femoribus 

 abrupte clavatis, clava fusca dense albido-vestita ; feminae clava gracili fusca, parum 

 dense albido-setosa ; tibiis apice fusco. Long. 6 — 12 millim.
