434 FAUNA HAWAIIENSIS 



are very similar in the two species, 9-jointed with the basal joint broad, the second also 

 thick, three — eight narrow, three being elongated and four — eight short ; the ninth 

 forms the club. But though there is no apparent structural character separating them, 

 the general form and outline of F. elotigata is distinctly different. F. eloiigata is slightly 

 longer; its prothorax is slightly narrower in proportion, and distinctly narrowed in front; 

 the form is slightly less convex ; the elytral punctures are extremely fine and shallow, 

 and evenly distributed, whereas in the specimen of F. minor which I have examined 

 under the microscope some slightly larger punctures are scattered near the suture. In 

 the two specimens from Hawaii the elytral punctuation appears even more obsolete than 

 in the rest. Fourteen specimens.
