392 FAUNA HAWAIIENSIS 



(13) Droinacolns paralleliis, Blackburn. 



Fornax parallclus Blackburn, Tr. Dublin Soc. in. 1885, p. 152. 



This is a remarkably elongate and narrow form, of an uniform reddish colour, 

 with deeply striate elytra. It has not been met with by Mr Perkins. 



Hab. Oahu. In moss near the summit of Konahuanui (Blackburn, i specimen). 



(14) Droniaco/its so/iVarhts, sp. nov. 



Augustus, parum convexus, postice sat angustatus, niger, nitidus, riavo-pubescens, 

 antennis pedibusque rufis, illis elongatis ; tarsis angustis ; thorace minus dense punctato. 

 Long. 5 mm. 



Nearest \.o D. pnncticollis, though very different in appearance on account of the 

 shining surface and much diminished thoracic punctuation. On the anterior part 

 the punctuation is moderately coarse and close, but becomes diminished behind. 

 The elytra are very distinctly striate, shining ; the punctures on the interstices, and the 

 pubescence, scanty. Nearly two joints of the length of the antennae extend beyond 

 the tip of the thorax. The antennae and feet are formed much as in D. pitncticollis. 

 One specimen, beaten from dead Acacia ; an extremely quick runner. 



Hab. Hawaii: Kona, 3000 ft. September, 1892 (no. 210, Perkins). 



(15) Droinacolns sciilptnratiis, Blackburn. 



Fornax scnlpturatus Blackburn, Tr. Dublin Soc. in. 1885, p. 151. 



Apparently most nearly allied to D. soiitarins, but much more elongate. The 

 following is Mr Blackburn's diagnosis, " Haud latus ; postice angustatus ; niger, antennis 

 pedibusque rufopiceis ; capite crebrius nee fortiter punctato ; prothorace transverso, 

 antice parum angustato, confuse nee crebre punctato ; elytris fortiter striatis, interstitiis 

 convexis, confuse nee distincte punctatis. Long. 7^ mm." 



Hab. Oahu. Waianae mountains (i specimen, Blackburn). 



(16) Dromaeolus mauiensis, sp. nov. 



Fusco-niger, antennis pedibusque rufis, dense subtiliter punctatus et Bavo-pubescens, 

 haud nitidus, antennis elonofatis crassiusculis. Long. 7-=^ mm., lat. 2-i mm. 



Closely allied to D. bonvon/oiri, though looking very different on account of its 

 larger size, and broader and more clumsy form, and darker colour. The only structural 

 difference I see between the two is that in D. maniensis the sides of the mesosternal 

 cavity are considerably broader.
