Fam. OEDEMERIDAE. 



OxAcis Leconte. 



(i) Oxacis collaris Shp. 



Ananca collaris Sharp, Tr. Dublin Soc. 1885, p. 169. 



Hab. Oahu, Molokai, and probably all the islands on the plains. I observed this 

 species in great numbers on the quarantine island at Honolulu, where it was crawling 

 over shrubs covered with the scales of Ceroplastes. 



Fam. ANTHICIDAE. 



Anthicus Payk. 



(i) Anthicus oceanicus Laf. 



Anthicus oceanicus Laferte, Mon. Anth. p. 1 70. 



Hab. Kauai, Oahu and Maui and probably all the islands ; on the coast. 



(2) Anthicjis mjindtclus Shp. 



Anthicus mundulus Sharp, Tr. Dublin Soc. 1885, p. 168. 



Hab. Oahu and Kauai (Blackburn). Salt marshes near sea-level. 



Fam. CISTELIDAE. 



The Cistelidae are represented by two genera, Cistela with seven, and Labetis with 

 three ^ species. The latter genus is peculiar to the islands, as are all 10 of the species 

 of this family. All are true forest insects, and are certainly indigenous. Species of 

 both genera have been found on Kauai and Hawaii, but not on all of the intermediate 

 islands, so that no doubt several species are yet to be discovered. So far as is known 

 no species of either genus extends its range to two of the islands. 



' The two examples taken on Oahu by Mr Blackburn and which probably represent other two distinct 

 species are not included in these remarks.
