COLEOPTERA 159 



lobis magnis. Antennae crassiusculae, articulo 2° et 3° aut subaequalibus aut hoc 



longiore. t %. Long. 375 — 5-2 mm. 



(Plate VIII. fig. 15, $ ; fig. 15a, anterior tarsus of ^; fig. I'^b, of ?.) 



This species is readily distinguished by its bright golden-brown colour, the long 



rostrum (especially in the $), which has the apex slightly but evidently widened, and 



the feeble sculpture of the elytra. 



Hab. Maui, Haleakala (5000 ft.) ; lives in the stems of Rubtis viacraei. 



(10) Oodcnias briinneum, sp. nov. 



Anguste ovale, nitidum, brunneum, aureo-micans. Rostrum nequaquam dilatatum, 

 rugoso-punctatum. Oculi convexi, haud fortiter depressi. Antennae crassiusculae, 

 funiculi articulo secundo et tertio brevissimis, hoc illo longiore. Pronotum nitidum, 

 subelongatum, subtiliter nee dense punctatum. Tarsorum ^ anticorum articulus 

 secundus latior quam longior, tertio evidenter angustior. Elytra nitida antice vix 

 evidenter striata, seriatim subtiliter punctata, interstitiis etiam punctatis. ^. Long. 

 3-25 mm. 



This species somewhat resembles the preceding in colour, but the rostrum, which 

 is not widened on the apical portion, the more convex eyes, the elytra much less 

 strongly rounded behind the shoulders, and their more distinct puncturation (the 

 punctures of the series are slightly larger than those of the interstices), will easily 

 distinguish it. 



Hab. Molokai, mountains (3000 ft.); i <?. 



(11) Oodcmas aipreum, sp. nov. 



Ovale, plus minusve nitidum, cupreum. Rostrum sat longum, apice haud dilatato, 

 subtilissime punctatum. Antennarum funiculi articuli 2 basales parum longi, sub- 

 aequales. Pronotum subelongatum, antice angustatum. Elytra subtiliter striata, 

 seriatim, nee fortiter punctata, interstitiis sat crebre punctulatis. Long. 4 — 5 mm. 



Elongate-oval, more or less shining, the elytra reddish or piceous, and of a distinct 

 copper colour. Legs and often the antennae reddish. Rostrum rather long, not 

 widened towards the apex, finely and more or less sparsely punctured. The two basal 

 joints of the funiculus of the antennae are short, stout and of about equal length. 

 Prothorax finely punctured, rather long and much narrowed in front. Elytra more or 

 less feebly striate, the punctures of the striae distinct, but not coarse, the interstices 

 with a much finer but distinct and more or less dense puncturation. The lobes of the 

 front tarsi are small in all the specimens examined, but it is uncertain whether the t sex 

 is represented. 



Hab. Maui, Haleakala (5000 — 6000 ft.) ; rare.
