574 FAUNA HAWAIIENSIS 



Balclutha, but I have not sufficient material of the latter now for effective comparison, 

 so that I prefer, for the present, to leave matters as they are. 



Conspectus specieruni hawaiiensium. 



1. Caput pronotumque viridi-testacea maculis parvis ac lineis inclaris, pallidis 



rufo-fuscis. Tegminum venae colore tegminum pallidiores (2). 



\a. Caput pronotumque viridescentia vel aureo-brunnea. Tegminum venae 

 virides (3)- 



2. Vertex ante oculos vix productus. Tegminum venae late pallidae. Longitudo 



3| — 4 mm I hebe Kirkaldy. 



2a. Vertex leviter rotundatim productus. Tegminum venae inclarae, pallidae. 



Longitudo 2 mm 2 volcanicola nov. 



3. Forma elongata, angusta, satis parallela ; caput pronotumque aureo-brunnea; 



tegmina viridescentia ; vertex subtriangulariter productus. Longitudo 



4 mm 3 plutonis sp. nov. 



3<z. Brevior ? latior, tegminibus ad latera magis rotundis. Vertex ante oculos 



rotundatim paullo productus. Longitudo 2\ mm 4 peregrina sp. nov. 



(i) Nesos teles hebe Kirkaldy. 



Nesosteles hebe, Kirkaldy, 1906, 1. c. 



H.\B. Well distributed over the Islands. I have seen it from Kauai, Kealia 

 (Oct., Giffard) ; Oahu, all over, frequently to light (Kirkaldy, Perkins, Giffard, Swezey, 

 Terry). Hawaii, Kilauea (Perkins). 



This seems to be hebe from Viti, though all the examples seen are much less 

 reddish on the head, being more yellowish green. It may be convenient to distinguish 

 it varietally as Aospes, 



(2) Nesosteles volcanicola, sp. nov. 



Closely allied to the above, but much smaller, the verte.x more produced before the 

 eyes, and the tegminal veins more obscure. The face also has a somewhat incomplete 

 grill. Length 2 mm. 



Hab. Hawaii, Kilauea (Perkins, 1906). 



I have only seen a few carded examples from Kilauea, but it is probably not 

 endemic. 



(3) Nesosteles plutonis, sp. nov. 



Head, pronotum, legs etc. golden brown ; tegmina yellowish green, membrane 

 hyaline, with yellowish green veins. Abdomen mostly black. Elongate and slender, 

 head distincdy wider medianly than at the eyes, a trifle more angular in the $ than in 

 the $. Length 4 mm. 



Hab. Hawaii, Kilauea. 



• I have seen only a carded pair in Dr Perkins' collection. It is probably endemic.
