1 62 FAUNA HAWAIIENSIS 



A rather variable species, the punctures on the striae of the elytra being decidedly 

 coarser in some examples than others, and sometimes also more numerous, and there- 

 fore less remote. The elytra are often of a bright bronzy colour. The t is shorter 

 than the ?, and readily distinguished by the less elongated rostrum. The striation of 

 the elytra is always very fine and sometimes hardly discernible in front. The widening 

 of the rostrum towards the apex is sometimes hardly perceptible, and its puncturation 

 is variable, being decidedly rugose in some examples. 



Hab. Kauai Mountains (3000 — 4000 ft.). Not common. 



(19) Oodemas affinc, sp. nov. 



Praecedenti cognatissimum, rostro breviore, elytris fortius et confertius seriatim 

 punctatis distinguendum. $. Long. 3"25 mm. 



Closely allied to O. apionoides. The rostrum is closely punctured, the apex some- 

 what strongly curved downwards, and it is evidently wider than that of the preceding 

 species. The first joint of the funiculus of the antennae is very short and stout, the 

 second rather longer than this. The prothorax is dull and remotely punctured, its 

 sides slightly convergent from the base to front. The elytra are shining, brassy, 

 distinctly striate ; the striae coarsely punctured, and not very remotely. The interstices 

 are distinctly but sparsely punctured. Second joint of the front tarsi (^) very small, 

 transverse, lobes ot the third small.

(20) Oodc)}ias parallchim, sp. nov. 



Laete aeneum, nitidissimum, angustissimum. Antennarum articulus secundus 

 brevissimus, tertius fortiter elongatus secundo bis longior. Pronotum nitidum, antice 

 minus fortiter angustatum, subfortiter punctatum. Elytra nitidissima, subtilissime 

 striata, striis sat fortiter nee confertim punctatis, interstitiis parce distincte punctulatis. 

 Tarsorum anticorum ^ articulus secundus brevis transversus, tertius hoc multo latior, 

 lobis magnis. ^. Long, circa 3 mm. 



This is a very distinct species. Its bright bronzy colour, very narrow form, 

 comparatively strongly punctured thorax, long second joint of the funiculus of the 

 antennae, &c., &c., readily distinguish it. 



Hab. Oahu. A single ^ taken on Kaala (Waianae Mountains) in December, 

 1892.
