466 FAUNA HAWAIIENSIS 



rotundatis parum explanatis, disco tri- vel quadri-impresso ; elytris inaequalibus obscure 

 striatis, striis sat fortiter punctatis ; abdomine fortiter sat crebre punctate. Long. 

 3I mm." 



"A single specimen was taken under the bark of a tree on Mauna Loa, Hawaii, 

 at an elevation of nearly 5000 ft." 



We have not received this species. It appears to be nearest to E. striates. It is 

 shining, remarkably dark in colour, with a red mark on the elytra on the suture just 

 before the tip. The segments of the abdomen are shining, and the punctures, though 

 distinct, are remarkably definite.

(10) Eiipetimis sulcatus, sp. nov. 



Nigricans, marginibus ferrugineis, elytris plus minusve ferrugineis, antennarum basi 

 pedibusque fusco-ferrugineis, leviter nitidus, subtiliter sed parum conspicue pubescens ; 

 prothorace transverso, antrorsum parum angustato, posterius fortiter angustato, angulisque 

 posterioribus fortiter argutis, ad latera explanato, disco obsolete quadri-impresso, dense 

 punctato; elytris obsolete impressis, ad latera explanatis, marginibus posterioribus curvatis, 

 sulcis argutis profundisque punctis magnis, interstitiis plus minusve transverse striatis, 

 fere impunctatis : abdomine crebre punctato. Long. corp. 3I mm. ; lat. corp. i|^ mm. 



This species is characterised by the remarkable shape of the prothorax, the sides 

 of which curve strongly inwards posteriorly, and then curve outwards again considerably 

 to the sharp posterior angles. The male supplementary segment tapers, but is some- 

 what rounded apically. The pygidium in both sexes is coarsely punctuated ; that of 

 the male is truncate with rounded angles, slightly emarginate in the middle ; that of the 

 female broader and somewhat rounded. 



The pubescence on the elytra is in places aggregated into little tufts like those of 

 certain species of Orthostolus (O. sordidiis, O. gutfaius). There is a lightening in colour 

 not only on the margins of the elytra, but also in a small patch on either side of the 

 scutellum, and to some extent on the inner posterior portions of the elytra, as in allied 

 species. Eleven specimens.

(11) Etipetinus curtus, sp. nov. 

 Nigricans, marginibus pedibusque fusco-ferrugineis, elytris guttis fusco-ferrugineis, 

 leviter nitidus, subtiliter sed parum conspicue pubescens. E. sulcati affinis ; sed 

 prothorace antrorsum minus angustato, angulis anterioribus argutioribus antrorsumque 

 magis extensis, posterius baud fortiter angustato, angulis posterioribus fere rectis ; 

 et elytrorum sulcis minus eis E. sulcati profundis, interstitiis latis, laevigatis, fere 

 impunctatis. Long. corp. 3I — 3! mm. ; lat. corp. i^ — if mm.
