152 FAUNA HAWAIIENSIS 



(i) Dysomma sylvicola, sp. nov. 



Elongatus, sat gracilis, colore castaneo, subnitidus. Rostrum subrugoso-punctatum, 

 setis brevissimis paucis vestitum. Pronotum dense aequaliter punctatum. Elytra 

 pronoto angustiora, striata, striis confertim punctatis, interstitiis uniseriatim punctulatis. 

 Long, (rostr. incl.) 5 mm. (Plate VIII. fig. 6.) 



Hab. Kauai. A single example taken in the mountains (4000 ft.). 



Heteramphus Sharp. 



(i) Heteramphus filiatni, sp. nov. 



Latus, niger, opacus, tarsis antennisque rufescentibus. Pronotum latum, antice 

 angustatum, vix constrictum, creberrime punctatum, brevissime pubescens, dorso juxta 

 basim haud, vel vix evidenter, impresso. Elytra seriatim punctata, interstitiis usque 

 ad basim parcius sed distincte pallido-pubescentibus. Long, (rostr. incl.) 8 — 9 mm. 

 (Plate VIII. fig. 7.) 



Closely allied to H. wollastoni Shp., but at once distinguished by the much more 

 densely punctured thorax, which is clothed with a short minute pubescence, and lacks 

 the basal impression of the allied species. The pale hairs on the interstices of the 

 elytra are not confined to the apical portion, but extend to the extreme base. 



Hab. Oahu, in the mountains. Attached to the tree-fern ; only a few examples 

 taken, the species being much more difficult to procure than H. wollastoni. 



(2) Heteramplms wollastoni Sharp. 



HeterampJms wollastoni Sharp, Tr. Dublin Soc. iii. 1885, p. 188.

 leaves of Astelia veratroides. 



(3) Heteramphus foveatus Sharp. 



HeterampJms foveattis Sharp, /. c. 



Hab. Oahu. Common in the same localities as, and in company with, H. 

 wollastoni.
