156 FAUNA HAWAIIENSIS 



nitida, basi obscure marginata, antice obscure striata, striis grossius punctatis, interstitiis 

 crebre punctulatis, postice fortiter convexis. $. Long, (cum rostro) 7 mm. (Plate VIII. 

 fig. 13, I? ; I3«, anterior tarsus of ^.) 



Very distinct from any other species ; most nearly allied to O. olindae. The 

 excessively long slender rostrum, which is much more strongly curved, will at once 

 distinguish it from that species. The two basal joints of the funiculus are much 

 the same in both species. 



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



(3) O ode mas dilatatipes, sp. nov. 



Nigroaeneum, elongatum, nitidum. Rostrum nitidum, subtiliter sat dense puncta- 

 tum, apice dilatato. Oculi fortiter prominentes. Antennarum articulus secundus et 

 tertius fortiter elongati, subaequales. Pronotum latum, antice fortiter angustatum, 

 subtiliter punctatum. Elytra seriatim (subgrosse) punctata, interstitiis convexis, sub- 

 tiliter punctatis. Tarsorum ^ intermed. et antic, articulus secundus aeque latus ac 

 tertius. Z- Long. 5 mm. 



Black, slightly aeneous, shining. The Z (the only sex obtained), has the rostrum 

 long, strongly dilated on its apical portion, the surface shining, finely and densely 

 punctured. The eyes are very strongly convex, and prominent. Antennae with the 

 first joint of the funiculus long, the following hardly longer. The prothorax is wide, 

 strongly narrowed in front, and finely punctured. Elytra shining, with rows of 

 moderately large punctures, the interstices slightly and narrowly raised, or convex, and 

 finely punctured. The hind portion of the elytra is of the abrupt form usual in the 

 section, and the apical segments of the hind-body beneath are inclined to the basal part. 

 The femora are extremely stout, and the second joint of the front and intermediate 

 tarsi very wide. 



Hab. Oahu, Waianae mountains. A single t only taken. Differs from the ^ of 

 O. olindae Blk., in the shorter rostrum, the coarser puncturation of the striae of the 

 elytra, which are not distinctly margined at the base, etc. 



(4) Oodemas nivicola Blackburn. 



Oodemas nivicola Blackb., Ann. Soc. Ent. Belg. xxi. p. 75. 



Hab. Maui, Haleakala (4000 ft. to the summit), outside the forest. Common 

 and very variable in size, sculpture &c. Sometimes brightly shining, often quite dull.
