COLEOPTERA 471 



The male supplementary segment tapers, but is rounded at the extreme apex ; it 

 bears long hairs. The male pygidium is coarsely punctuate, almost truncate, scarcely 

 emarginate. Female pygidium broad, slightly rounded. 



Hab. Oahu ; mountains near Honolulu, 2000 — 3000 ft. ; apparently found on 

 many occasions, but in small numbers (Perkins). H. S. 



(19) EitpetiiiHS margiuatus, sp. nov. 



Sat latus, testaceus plus minusve infuscatus, leviter nitidus, subtiliter pubescens ; 

 prothorace punctis obsoletis stellatisque, disco obsolete quadri-impresso, transverso, 

 antrorsum conspicue angustato, posterius parum angustato, angulis posterioribus argutis ; 

 elytris late e.xplanatis, obsolete impressis, sulcis argutis punctatis, interstitiis parum latis 

 transverseque striatis. E. apri affinis, sed angustior, tenuius pubescens, prothorace 

 posterius minus angustato, elytrorum interstitiis minus conspicue transverse striatis. 

 Long. Corp. circa 3 J mm. ; lat. corp. circa i^ mm. 



This is a species in which the explanate margins of the elytra are very broad. 

 The punctures of the prothorax are obsolete and striae radiate from them, producing a 

 star-like appearance. The male pygidium is truncate with rounded angles ; that of the 

 female decidedly narrowed and rounded at the ape.x, more so than in several allied 

 species. The male supplementary segment tapers, but is rounded at the apex. 

 Twenty-eight specimens. 



Hab. Molokai. 4000 — 4500 ft., and over ; " above Pelekunu," " highest forest," 

 &c. (Perkins). H. S. 



(20) Eiipetinus laiiaicnsis, sp. nov. 



E. niarginati peraffinis, sed prothorace breviore, fortiter transverso, minus obsolete 

 punctato, haud conspicue stellate striato, angulis posterioribus obtusis ; elytris parum 

 inaequalibus ; abdomine crebrius punctato. Long. corp. 3^ — 4I mm. ; lat. corp. 



I2— 1| mm- 



This species is definitely distinguished from E. ntarginatiis by the shape and 



punctuation of the prothorax. The female pygidium is broader at the apex, and 



subtruncate, not so rounded. Twenty-six specimens. 



Hab. Lanai. 2000 — 3000 ft. ; Halepaakai, &c. (Perkins). H. S. 



Eupetimis lanaicnsis van tnauiensis, van nov. 



A single female specimen from Maui difters from E. lanaicnsis in having the sides 

 of the prothorax more sinuate posteriorly, and the pygidium less coarsely and densely 

 punctuated. 



Hab. Maui, Haleakala, 4000 ft. (Perkins). H. S.
