Mauna Loa, Hawaii. Elevation about 4000 feet. One specimen, 

 under a stone. This is not closely allied to any other species I have 

 met with. I think its place in the genus is not far from Fele. 



C. PARADOXUS, sp. nor. 



Convexus, iutidHs,rufiis plus mimisve infuscatus (avtennis apicem versus piceis) ; 

 capite mediocri ; oculls minus prominulis ; antennis corporis dimidio longitudine 

 cequal ibus ; prothorace fortiter transversa rotundatoque, postice parum angustato, 

 canaliculato, antice vix emarginato, trans basin obscure punctato, basi utrinquefoveo- 

 lato, niarginibus sat latis, angulis posticis obtusis ; elytris oblongo-ovatis, strict, 

 suturali et marginali distinctis integris antice di.stincte punctatis, striis cceteris 

 obscure adumbratis, angulis humeratibus rotundato-rectis. Long. 6 mm. 



Mauna Kea, Hawaii. Under bark of a tree. Elevation, 3000 

 feet. The relationship of this is I think with hemhidioides, though not 

 very closely. Its superior size and differently shaped thorax at once 

 distinguish it. My one specimen may not quite have reached full 

 maturity in colour. 



C. Devekilli, sp. nov. 



Convexus, nitidus, nigro-ceneus ad viridem accedens, marginibus rufescentibus, 



antennarum palporumque basi et pedibus testaceis; capite mediocri ; oculis prominulis ; 



antennis corporis dimidio brevioribus ; prothorace leviter transversa, subcordato, 



canaliculato, antice vix emarginato, trans ba.sin sparsim punctato, angulis posticis 



acute red is ; elytris subovalibus, antice angustatis, pone medium latioribus, sub- 



glahris (nomiullis ptiiictorum seriehus obsctire adumbratis), humeris rotundatis. 



Long. b\ — 64 mm. 



Various localities on Hawaii, generally under bark of trees, at an 

 elevation of about 3000 feet. 



This species singularly resembles, in general appearance, Iliscodera 

 arctica. It is allied, I think, to C. cordaticollis, from which, however, 

 its superior size, elytra narrower in froiit, broadest behind the middle, 

 with strongly rounded sides, &c., readily distinguish it. I have named 

 it in compliment to my friend, W. E. H. Deverill, Esq., to whom I am 

 indebted for the first specimen I obtained, which he took while col- 

 lecting in my company, and presented to me. 



C. TTJLCANUS, sp. IIOV. 



iSubconvexus, nitidus, piceus, marginibus rufescentibus, antennarum basi, palpis, 

 pedibusque testaceis ; capite mediocri ; oculis prominulis ; antennis corporis dimidio 

 breoioribus ; prothorace transversa, subcordato, leviter canaliculato, antice leviter 

 emarginato, trans basin rugato punctatoque, angulis posticis acute red is ; elytris 

 elongato-oval ibus, punctato striatis (plus fortiter minusvej, striis marginem apicemque 

 versus obsoletis, humeris parum prominulis. Long. 4j — 5^ mm. 



A small series occurred to me under bark, on Mauna Loa, Hawaii, 

 not far from the mouth of the crater known as Kilauea. If I am right
