154 FAUNA HAWAIIENSIS 



paullo latiora, angustula, vix evidenter pubescentia, apicem versus rarissime setosa, striis 

 obscurissime obsolete punctatis. Long, (rostr. incl.) 5 mm. (Plate VIII. fig. 8.) 



Most nearly allied to H. halcakalae, but at once distinguished by its much more 

 slender and elongate form. 



Hab. Molokai mountains (4000 ft.). A single example taken out of wet moss in 

 June 1893. 



(7) Hete7'ainplms cylindriais Sharp. 



Heteramphus cylindriats Sharp, /. c. p. 189. 



(Plate VIII. fig. 9 large form; fig. 10 small form.) 



Hab. Oahu ; common, at the bases of the leaves and in the stems of Astelia. 

 Varies greatly in size, some examples being much larger and more robust than others. 



(8) Hcte7-amphus hirtellns Sharp. 



HeterainpJms hirtellus Sharp, /. c. 



Hab. Oahu. A single e.xample was taken by Mr Blackburn in the mountains 

 near Honolulu. I have never met with this species. 



(9) HeterainpJms kauaiensis, sp. nov. 



Piceus, sat latus, nitidus, rostri parte basali, pronoto, elytrisque, dense pallide 

 setosis. Rostrum apicem versus dilatatum, nitidum, et subtiliter punctatum. Pronotum 

 sat latum, nitidum, dense grosseque punctatum, juxta basim obsolete impressum, linea 

 dorsali laevi. Elytra brevia, nitida, striis grosse confertim punctatis, interstitiis setis 

 longis flavescentibus vestitis. Long, (rostr. incl.) 5*5 mm. (Plate VIII. fig. 11.) 



This remarkable species is allied to H. Jiirtcllus Shp., the rostrum, viewed from 

 in front, being widened at some distance before the insertion of the antennae on the 

 basal side, owing to the long outstanding pterygia. Its form is much the same as in 

 H. foveatus, but it might reasonably be considered as the type of another genus. 



Hab. Kauai. A single example taken on the high plateau. 



(10) Heteranipltus nivicola, sp. nov. 



Nigro-piceus, opacus (capite cum pronoto absente), elytris apices versus setas 

 nonnullas ferentibus. Elytra distinctissime striata, striis remote nee grosse punctatis, 

 interstitiis baud convexis subseriatim rugoso-punctatis. Metasternum grosse punctatum.
