400 FAUNA HAWAIIENSIS 



(i) Ccratotaxia fi'is/is, sp. nov. 



Elongatus, angustatus, parum convexus, nigro-rufus vel niger, baud nitidus, dense 

 sed subtiliter pubescens : pedibus testaceis. Long. 5|- mm. 



Plate XIII. fig. 12. 



Antennae rather stout, the elongate terminal four joints rather stouter than the 

 others. Thorax short, a good deal narrowed in front, rather finely and closely punctured, 

 not shining, hind angles not very large. Elytra elongate, a little narrowed behind, not 

 at all acuminate, rather feebly striate. Legs slender, hind tarsi long and slender, 

 with minute fourth joint and elongate terminal joint. 



In general form this has a good deal of resemblance to Dromacolus puncticollis. 

 Only three specimens have been met with. Two of them agree fairly well : the third 

 from a different locality (Kona) is darker in colour, and slightly smaller.

This N. American species was once found at large near Honolulu. Mr Perkins 

 informs me that he believes there also has been a recent capture of this handsome beetle.

(i) Agrilus sp. 



A species of the genus Agrilus has been recently introduced into Oahu. It is one 

 of the most obscure forms of this enormous genus, and I am not able to find a name 

 for it.
