Brownish testaceous, eyes blackish-brown. Beneath testaceous, abdomen deep 

 brown. Tegmina flavo-cinereous-hyaHne, generally irregularly and sparsely spotted 

 towards the ape.\. Interior claval area spotted with blackish-brown, or almost entirely 

 black. Stigma brownish-black. Tegminal granules subequal in size, setigerous, some- 

 what irregularly placed, usually roundish. Rostrum reaching to apex of posterior coxae. 



t- First genital segment beneath basally deeply-roundly emarginate, apically 

 roundly emarginate, with an acute triangular horizontal projection in the middle. 

 Claspers long, something like those of Cixius s/t'oiimfjcus Scott, but not so stout 

 apically. Anal tube not dentate. 



$. Somewhat larger than the males, the nervures often stronger and more strongly 

 granulate. First three (?) segments of the abdomen beneath straight, fourth roundly

 band at the apex of the corium. The scutellum varies from brown-testaceous 

 (immature ?) to blackish-brown. I have seen about 40 examples.

The Hawaiian species of Oliarus are distinguished by the costa being not at all or 

 only very slightly granulate, the granules then being as a rule larger than the other 

 tegminal granules, which are minute, round and setigerous. Unlike the palaearctic 

 specie.s, these hairs vary in colour, being sometimes black, sometimes white, sometimes 

 even particoloured, but most often, though not alwa}s, the dark parts of the nervures 

 bear dark hairs, the pallid parts pallid hairs. The nervures themselves are very
