COLEOPTERA 409 



(9) Labrocerns sp. 



A single specimen found at Waimea, Kauai, belongs apparently to a species very 

 near L. Jaynei, or rather to some of the varieties of that species. It is a female and 

 has an additional red mark in the form of a small spot on each side of the scutellum. 



Hab. Kauai, Waimea (Perkins). 



Grroup 3. 



(10) Eabroccnts obsoletits, sp. nov. 



Niger, antennis pedibusque Havis, thorace rufescente, elytris testaceis, vage fulvo- 

 signatis, sutura anguste nigra. Long. 4 mm. 



We have three females of this species which is readily distinguished from all 

 others of this section by its colour. It is of rather elongate form and has only obsolete 

 sculpture. The elytra are pallid, but bear evidence of the black colour of other species 

 in the form of vague or obsolete darker places ; there is a pallid pubescence, and but 

 little black setosity. The entirely pale legs contrast with the rest of the colour of the 

 under surface. 



Had. Maui, Haleakala, 4000 ft. v. 1896 (Perkins). 



(11) Lahroccnis dasytoides, sp. nov. 



Niger, antennis articulis 2" — 3°, vel 2" — 5° testaceis ; supra crebre evidenter punctu- 

 latus, nigro-setosus, elytris pubescentia grisea vi.\ perspicue ornatis. Long. 3 — 3-^ mm. 



The male has thick antennae, with joints four — ten distinctly transverse, the 

 eleventh joint thick, as long as the four preceding together. The number of joints 

 that are yellowish varies a little, but is usually greater in the female than in the male, 

 but the club is always quite black. Seventeen specimens. 



Hab. Kauai. Makaweli, 2000 ft. vi. and \ii. 1894; Koholuamano, 4000 ft. iv. 

 1895; mts. Waimea, 3000 ft. v. 1894; high plateau, viii. 1896 (Perkins). 



(12) Labrocerns vestiius, sp. nov. 



$ Niger, antennis 2° — 9" flavis ; supra crebre subtiliter punctatus, griseo-setosus. 

 Long. 3|- mm. 



Apparently closely allied to L. dasy/ aides, though looking different on account of 

 the pallid setosity, by which character and the paler antennae it is readily distinguished. 

 Two specimens. 



Hab. Hawaii. Kona, 4000 ft. 26. vi. 1892 ; and Kilauea, viii. 1895 (Perkins).
