372 FAUNA HAWAIIENSIS 



We have only two specimens, they are both males, but a specimen in the collection at 

 the British Museum is a female, and has the antennae considerably shorter. 



Hab. Kauai: Makaweli and Lihue, 2000 — 3000 ft. vi. 1894 (Perkins) ; Mountains 

 of Kauai (Rev. Harper Pease, in Brit. Mus.). 



(5) Eopcnihes Intiiieralis Karsch. 



E later humeralis Karsch, Berlin, ent. Zeitschr. xxv. 1881, p. 5, PI. 1. fig. 7. 



%. Niger, elytrorum basi late flava ; prothorace dense punctate. Long. 13^, 

 lat. 3^ mm. 



This species cannot be confounded with any other, e.xcept possibly E. basalts, or 

 large female E. obsciir/is. From E. basalis it is distinguished by the less attenuate 

 apices of the elytra, by the black antennae, the basal joints not being paler than the 

 others : and from E. obscuriis by the more spinose apices of the elytra and by the 

 prosternal process not being bent upwards behind the co.xae. 



I describe the species from a single female given me by Mr Koebele. Mr Perkins 

 found a specimen of the male sex dead and entirely deprived of its antennae as well as 

 of most of its legs. It has the thorax much more slender than that of the female (as is 

 usually the case in Eopenthes), but in other respects agrees very well.

E. basalis ex parte, Blackburn, t.c. bottom of p. 155. 



$ Gracilis, fusco-niger, elytris summa basi flavescente, pedibus fuscis ; prothorace 

 dense ac fortiter punctato ; corpore minus tenuiter pallido-pubescente. Long. 7^ — 

 12 mm., lat. 2 — 3:^ mm. 



The species was described by me from a single female. The two sexes are 

 extremely different, the male being a comparatively small and slender insect, with 

 elongate antennae, and the pale colour of the elytra confined to a short area at the 

 anterior declivity. Although the elytra in this sex are narrow at the tips — not broad as 

 in the female — and form a sharp angle there, they cannot be called spinose. 



The remarks made by Blackburn (t.c. p. 155) about E. basalis have reference really 

 to E. obscurtis %. 



Hab. Oahu, near Honolulu (Perkins). 



The species is well known from Oahu. We also have 5 specimens with the 

 number 210, which refers to Kona on Hawaii. One of these specimens is however 

 marked on the margins, "Oahu mts. 2000 ft. /97. K." I feel sure that the entry as to 

 No. 210 is incorrect and that the species is confined to Oahu. Cf remark under 

 E. divisus.
