2 50 FAUNA HAWAIIENSIS 



(7) Cistela konae, sp. nov. 



Fusco-brunneus, pedibus antennarumque basi testaceis, elytris nitidis, submetallicis, 

 sat evidenter sed parum profunde striatis, crebre punctatis, punctis nonnullis seriatim 

 dispositis, interstitiis convexiusculis. Long, circa 6 mm. 



Of an obscure brownish colour, the head and prothorax darker, the face in front of 

 the antennae and the legs testaceous. Head very densely punctured, the eyes by no 

 means large. Prothorax nearly dull, very densely punctured, strongly transverse, 

 truncate or slightly emarginate in front. Elytra shining, distinctly and closely punc- 

 tured, with the interstices even towards the sides quite distinctly convex, so that the 

 striation is more evident than in any other species. In the single example taken only 

 the basal joints of the antennae remain, and these present no noteworthy characters. 

 Perhaps most nearly allied to C. montana, but quite distinct from this and other species 

 by the condition of the elytral interstices, and also apparently remarkable for the very 

 wide prothorax, the sides of which are nearly straight and parallel for about two-thirds 

 of their length from the base. The eyes are smaller than in most species of the genus. 

 The single mutilated example is probably a %. 



Hab. Hawaii, Kona, 5000 ft. A single example (mutilated) was taken from a 

 spider's web. 



Labetis Waterhouse. 



(i) Labetis hawaiiensis, sp. nov. 



Nigra, subnitida, elytris testaceis vel brunneis, antennis (articulis basalibus exceptis) 

 nigricantibus, pedibus testaceis. Long. 10 — 12 mm. Antenn. 5 — 7 mm. 



Head black, closely punctured in front, but the surface more or less shining 

 between the punctures. Prothorax black, the surface shining, closely punctured, with a 

 narrow smooth median longitudinal impression, more distinct in some examples than in 

 others, and in some there are also indefinite impressions, rendering the surface more or 

 less uneven. Elytra varying in colour from testaceous to brownish, striate, the striae 

 nearest the suture often deeper than the outer ones, closely punctured, the interstices 

 conspicuously punctate, the punctures closer in some examples than in others, the 

 surface shining. At the apex the first and second interstices are about equally convex. 

 Anterior tibiae with the superior apical angle greatly produced (varying in development), 

 and rounded at the apex. Abdomen beneath black, finely punctured, the apical 

 segment very deeply impressed in the ^, and faintly but evidently so in the %. 



Hab. Hawaii, Kilauea ; a series of over a dozen examples taken in August.
