Oodemas sculpfurahim Blackb., Ann. Soc. Ent. Belg. xxi. p. 74. 



(Plate VIII. fig. 24.) 



Hab. Maui, Haleakala (4000 — 5000 ft.). Not rare. 



(41) Oodemas nitidissinuim, sp. nov. 



Nigroaeneum, nitidissimum, ovale. Rostrum subtiliter crebre punctatum, apice 

 haud dilatato. Antennarum articulus secundus fortiter elongatus, tertio bis longior. 

 Pronotum nitidissimum, subtiliter subobsolete punctatum, latum, antice fortiter angus- 

 tatum. Elytra levissime (parum distincte) striata, striis remote subtiliter punctatis, 

 interstitiis conspicue punctulatis. Long. 3 "5 mm. 



A very distinct species, easily known by the very long first joint of the funiculus of 

 the antennae, the highly polished surface, and puncturation of the elytra. 



Hab. Oahu, a single example taken in the Waianae mountains in April 1892. 



(42) Oodemas jjiauiense Blackburn. 



Oodemas niauiense Blackb., Ann. Soc. Ent. Belg. xxi. p. 75. 



(Plate VIII. fig. 25.) 



Hab. Maui, Haleakala (Blackburn). I have taken this species on Molokai and 

 Hawaii in some numbers. It varies greatly in size, and otherwise. Examples from 

 Hawaii are generally much more shining than those from Molokai. 



(43) Oodemas borrei Blackburn. 



Oodemas borrei Blackb., Ann. Soc. Ent. Belg. xxi. p. 75. 



This species is sometimes quite brightly shining, and varies greatly in size. 



Hab. Maui, Haleakala, above the forest. Commonly found in company with 

 O. nivicola (from 6000 — loooo ft.), attached to roots of grasses and low plants.
