158 FAUNA HAWAIIENSIS 



Remarkable in its group for the unusually short second joint of the funiculus which 

 though evidently longer than the short first joint is less elongate than in the allied 

 species, and for the dense puncturation of the elytra, the punctures on the striae (which 

 are hardly perceptible in front) being very little larger than those on the interstices. 



Hab. Oahu, Waianae mountains; i ^ taken in April 1892. 



(8) Oodenias molokaiense, sp. nov. 



Ovatum, nigroaeneum, nitidum. Rostrum dense subtilius punctatum, apice dilatato, 

 Oculi magni, prominuli. Antennarum articulus tertius fortissime elongatus, secundo 

 fere bis longior. Elytra minus fortiter seriatim punctata. Tarsorum (^) anticorum 

 articulus secundus permagnus, aeque latus ac tertius. Long. 3'5 — 4*5 mm. 



(Plate VIII. fig. 14, ,? ; fig. \\a, anterior tarsus of ^.) 



Ovate, aeneous, more or less shining, generally brightly so, of more or less robust 

 form. The rostrum is finely and closely punctured, its apical portion evidently dilated. 

 The eyes are large and somewhat prominent. Antennae long, slender, the second 

 joint of the funiculus very elongate, twice, or nearly twice, as long as the first. 

 Prothorax broad, much narrowed in front, finely punctured, obsoletely so in some 

 examples. Elytra with rows of fine punctures, sometimes with scarcely perceptible 

 striation in front, in others with evident striae, the interstices very finely, subobsoletely 

 punctured. Posteriorly the elytra are vertical, almost recurved, especially in the ^. 



Second joint of the front and intermediate tarsi in the <? very large, as wide as 

 the lobate third joint, and rather longer. Apical ventral segments of the hind-body in 

 a plane inclined to that of the basal segments. Rostrum shorter than that of the $. 



Two examples (<^, %) from Lanai have the elytra more strongly striated, the 

 punctures on the striae rather larger, and the interstitial puncturation rather more 

 developed. 



Hab. Molokai (3000 — 4500 ft.); Lanai (2000 ft.). Rare. M}^\&di to O . pzmctula- 

 hsshnum, but readily distinguished by the longer second joint of the funiculus, and 

 the different puncturation of the elytra. The examples from Lanai might almost pass 

 as a distinct species. 



(9) Oodenias chrysodortim, sp. nov. 



Castaneum, nitidum, conspicue aureo-micans, ovale, elytrorum lateribus bisinuatis. 

 Rostrum longum, apice dilatato, rugoso-punctatum, saepe longitudinaliter carinatum. 

 Oculi perdepressi. Pronotum baud transversum, antice fortiter angustatum. Elytra 

 (antice saltern) obscure striata, striis saepe impunctatis, vel parce subtilissime punctatis. 

 ^ tarsorum anticorum articulus secundus fere aeque longus ac latus, articulus tertius
