3/6 FAUNA HAWAIIENSIS 



that it is concolorous with the surface. The legs of E. konae are never coloured like 

 those of E. cognatiis. Somewhat doubtfully distinct. 



Hab. Hawaii: Kona, 3000ft. vi. 1892; Kilauea, vii. 1895; Olaa, vi. 1895 and 

 IX. 1896 (Perkins). 



( 1 6) Eopenthes celatits, sp. nov. 



Rufescens, capite, thorace, corpore subtus antennisque nigricantibus ; pube pallida 

 conspicue vestitus ; prothorace sat crebre punctato ; elytris apicibus haud , spinosis ; 

 antennis pedibusque elongatis. Long. 9 mm. 



We have only two individuals — males — of this species : it appears to be most like 

 E. konae, but the elytra are not spinose at the tip, and the antennae and tarsi are rather 

 more elongate. Except for slight and unimportant differences in colour etc. it agrees 

 in most other respects with E. konae. 



Hab. Molokai, Kalawao, 8. viii. 1893 (Perkins). 



(17) Eopenthes gracilis, sp. nov. 



Angustus, nigerrimus, nitidus, nigro-pubescens, femoribus rufis ; prothorace nitido, 

 disco parce punctato. Long. 9^, lat. 2 mm. 



Extremely close to E. konae, but distinguished from all the varieties of that species 

 by the more slender form, and the scanty punctuation of the middle of the thorax. It 

 is of an intense black colour, and shining ; the thorax has the sides moderately divergent 

 behind, very little sinuate, the scanty pubescence detracting but little from the shining 

 and intensely black appearance of the surface. The antennae of the male are slightly 

 broader and longer than those of the male E. konae. The reddish yellow femora 

 contrast strongly with the quite black tibiae. The under surface is rather more finely 

 and scantily punctate than it is in E. konae. 



Hab. Molokai, Kalawao; mts. vi. 1896 (Perkins). 



(18) Eopenthes mauiensis, sp. nov. 



Nigerrimus, nitidus, nigro-pubescens, femoribus flavis, tibiis ante apicem vage 

 flavescentibus ; prothorace nitido, parce punctato ; elytris profunde striatis. Long. 

 10 mm., lat. 3 mm. 



Rather broader than E. gracilis, with thicker and rather longer antennae, and 

 more deeply striated elytra. Resembles E. cognatiis slightly, but is quite distinct. 

 Five specimens. 



Hab. Maui, Haleakala, 5000 ft. v. 1896 (Perkins).
