Thou^li most of the specimens before us arc immaculate in 

 coloration, some show traces of dark markings. In these, a few 

 of the ])roximal antennal joints are darkened, while the cei:)halic 

 and median tibiae show faint annulation and the dorsal surface of 

 the caitdal femora weak dorsal tessellation proximad. In addition, a 

 few specimens have the lateral lobes of the i)ronotnm somewhat 

 darkened. 



Few of the specimens at hand have retained any traces of the 

 pink tinge, said to be shown by living specimens. Strange to say, 

 three or four specimens that have the head, pronotum, and lim])s 

 showing a distinct pink tinge appear to have been killed before 

 they had become thoroughly hardened after reaching matitrity, 

 though as a rule such material discolors badly in drying. 



This species was formerly known only from the mountains of 

 Oahu, and in 1905 was found by its describer on ohia trees.''''
