 2"", 3"" et 4" rugoso-punctata, segmentum apicale densius fortiter distincte punctatum.

The genus of the insect above described is not certain, since the head, prothorax 

 and most of the appendages are wanting, but it is probably a true Hetcramphus. It 

 is easily distinguished from any of the other species, by the sculpture of the elytra and 

 the under-parts. The former are less wide at the base and comparatively more elongate 

 than those of H. foveatits (than which the species is of larger size), the striae are very 

 distinct and are wide apart, their punctures are somewhat fine, and especially on the 

 striae towards the sides, remote from one another, the interstices are not the least 

 convex, and are rather largely and rugosely and somewhat seriately punctured, so that 

 when looked along from the apex they even appear somewhat grooved or concave. 

 The humeral angles of the elytra are rounded off and indistinct. The abdomen beneath 

 is shining, the basal segment remotely and very strongly punctured, the three following 

 ones are rugosely punctate, the apical one strongly and closely, but less coarsely than 

 the basal one. 



Hab. Maui. A single example in fragmentary condition was found near the 

 summit of Haleakala.

Hab. Maui, Haleakala (5000 ft.) ; i ^ and i % taken. Two examples, now in the 

 British Museum, taken by Mr Blackburn, are both $, and apart from sexual differences 

 agree closely with my <y. The % taken by me is less shining, the prothorax entirely 

 dull, and strongly punctured, but there is little doubt that it belongs to the same species. 

 The ^ differs from the $ in the shorter rostrum, and the very large second joint of the 

 anterior and intermediate tarsi, which are hardly less wide than the third joint. 



(2) Oodeinas longirostre, sp. nov. 



Nigrum, aenescens, elongato-ovale, nitidum. Rostrum longissimum, valde curva- 

 tum, apice fortiter dilatato, basali parte gracillima, subtiliter dense punctatum. Oculi 

 fortiter prominentes. Prothorax nitidus, sat elongatus, subtiliter punctatus. Elytra
