128 FAUNA HAWAIIENSIS 



(13) Rhyncogonus lanaiensis, sp. no v. 



Forma, facieque praecedentis ; $ oculis fortiter prominentibus, abdominis segmentis 

 ventralibus tribus apicalibus dense pubescentibus distinguendus. $. Long. 1 1 '5 mm. 

 ($ ? 14 mm.) 



Extremely like the preceding, but distinct by the strongly prominent eyes. The $ 

 also differs in having the three apical ventral segments of the hind-body densely 

 pubescent, and the head somewhat strigose, as well as punctured. The first joint of 

 the funiculus of the antennae is considerably longer than the second. 



A single $ probably belongs to this species. It differs from the preceding in its 

 larger size, more prominent eyes, and the rather more pubescent ventral segments of 

 the hind-body.

(14) Rhyncogonus laliainae, sp. nov. 



Nigricans, pubescentia pallida vestitus, pedibus antennisque rufescentibus ; ^ 

 thorace densissime punctato, interstitiis nitidis. Elytra pubescentia, sensim ad apices 

 attenuata. ^. Long. io"5 mm.. 



Blackish, the antennae, tibiae, tarsi, and more or less of the femora, red. The 

 surface of the rostrum iyZ) is somewhat smooth, punctured, but not strigose, and with a 

 scanty short pubescence. The antennae have the first joint of the funiculus evidently 

 longer than the second. The sides of the prothorax are rounded, its surface smooth 

 and shining between the dense punctures, and clothed with short fine pubescence, which 

 at the sides becomes longer and coarser, and forms a somewhat indefinite lateral band 

 on each side. The elytra are dull, and on each there are five or six lines of pale 

 pubescence, which are not very distinct, and due to the fact that the interstices are 

 alternately more densely or more sparsely clothed. The puncturation is distinct 

 throughout, but the second and third series originate at some distance from the base of 

 the elytra. 



Hab. Maui, mountains behind Lahaina (3000 ft.) ; \ ^ taken. 



(15) Rhyncogonus depressus, sp. nov. 



Niger, densius pallido-pubescens ; Z fortiter depressus. Rostrum pubescentia 

 tectum, strigoso-punctatum. Pronotum cum elytris pubescens, nitidum ; elytra seriatim 

 punctata, tuberculisque minutis asperula. Long. io"5^ — 13"5 mm. (Plate VII. fig. 6.)
