476 FAUNA HAWAIIENSIS 



Hab. Hawaii. Kilauea : Hualalai, about 5000 ft. : Kona, 2000—5000 ft., beaten 

 from Koa, Acacia and other trees, also from flowers and dead wood (Perkins). Also 

 Mauna Kea, 3000 and 7000 ft., from flowers (Blackburn). D. S. 



(2) Nesopepius collaris, sp. nov. 



Rufo-obscurus, prothoracis lateribus, antennis pedibusque flavis ; prothorace baud 

 fortiter transverse, lateribus rotundatis, anterius fortiter angustato, angulis posterioribus 

 obtusis, dense fortiter punctato ; elytris seriatim minus obsolete punctatis. Long. 3, 

 lat. \\ mm. 



Similar to N. inaiiratus, with a longer thorax more narrowed in front, and more 

 densely and coarsely punctate. The unique specimen is about the size of the smallest 

 N. anticatiis, and is perhaps nearer to that species than to N. inauratus, but it has a 

 more coarsely punctate thorax, with more rounded hind angles. The emargination of 

 the last dorsal plate of the male is not very deep ; the angles project quite distinctly but 

 are not sharp. 



A single specimen from Molokai is intermediate between the type of N. collai'is 

 and N. curtithorax. It has the thorax shorter and more finely punctured than the type 

 (Lanai) specimen of N. collai'is, thereby approaching A^. curtithoi'ax. 



Hab. Lanai, Molokai. — Lanai, about 2000 ft. xii. 1893 (no. 92). — Molokai, 

 3000 feet, 12. VI. 1893 (no. 176, Perkins). D. S. 



(3) Nesopepius curtithorax, sp. nov. 



Sat latus, fusco-testaceus, prothoracis lateribus testaceis, subtile pubescens ; pro- 

 thorace lato, parum curto, antrorsum parum angustato, lateribus explanatis rotundatisque, 

 disco crebre punctato ; elytris seriatim punctatis. Long. corp. 3|- mm. 



A single male specimen from Kauai, in bad preservation, is close to A^. inauratus, 

 but (like N. collaris) has a wider, more ample thorax. The thorax, however, is shorter 

 than that of N. collaris, more finely punctured, and has its sides not quite so con- 

 spicuously rounded. It is the only species of the inauratus type from Kauai. 



Pygidium with shallow notch, teeth on either side short and blunt ; supplementary 

 segment rounded ; last ventral segment slightly emarginate. 



Hab. Kauai, Halemanu, 4000 ft. (no. 507, Perkins). H. S. 



(4) Nesopepbis anticatus, sp. nov. 



Testaceus, prothoracis disco, elytris plusminusve, abdominisque medio fusces- 

 centibus ; prothorace minus fortiter transverso, lateribus rotundatis, anterius longius 

 angustatis, basi fere recte truncata, angulis posterioribus leniter obtusis. Long. 3I, 

 lat. \\ mm.
