 argutis, disco obsolete quadri-impresso, sat rare punctato ; elytris latius explanatis,

We have two specimens, both females, from Maui. In general form, the shape 

 of the prothorax, and the character of the punctuation, sculpture and pubescence they 

 closely resemble E. omalioidcs, but are readily distinguished by the much greater breadth 

 of the explanate margins of the elytra, which here reach their highest development. 

 The impressions on the thorax and elytra are very slight, and the insect has a smooth 

 and even appearance, as has E. omalioidcs. The antennae are shorter than in many 

 specimens of the latter.

(24) Eupctimis laevigatas, sp. nov. 



Conspicue latus, leviter nitidus, tenuius parciusque pubescens ; colore varians, aut 

 niger marginibus ferrugineis, aut ferrugineus plus minusve infuscatus, pedibus anten- 

 narumque basi fusco-ferrugineis ; pedibus sat crassis ; prothorace transverso, paruni 

 quadrangulari, anterius posteriusque parum angustato, angulis posterioribus obtusis, 

 crebre punctato, disco interdum obsoletius quadri-impresso ; elytris latius explanatis, 

 obsoletius inaequalibus, sulcis punctis magnis, interstitiis laevibus ; abdomine subtile 

 punctato. Long. corp. 3^ — 4 mm. ; lat. corp. if fere 2 mm.

This very variable species is characterised by being short, smooth and shining, and 

 very scantily pubescent. The legs are somewhat thick. The broad margins of the 

 elytra reach a degree of development as great as those of E. lativiargo. The male 

 supplementary segment is rounded ; male pygidium truncate with rounded angles, 

 female pygidium rounded and somewhat long. The amount of punctuation and pubes- 

 cence on the abdomen varies considerably. 



The var. dimidiatiis is present. 



Var. vittatus. In two males the distribution of light and dark colour on the elytra 

 differs trom that in var. diniidiatus. The colours are arranged in longitudinal bands. 

 The explanate margins are light, as in all other specimens ; within the margin is a broad 

 dark band, then a narrower light band, then a narrow dark band running along by the 

 suture. Twenty-six specimens.
