( 1 ) Mcdoii dchiliconiis. Woll. 



Liihocharis debiHcornis WoW-Aston, Cat. Col. Mad. p. 194. 

 Medon {Hypomcdon) dcbilicornis Ganglbauer, Kafer Mitt. Eur. 11. p. 523. 

 Hab. Oahu, Molokai. — Oahu, Honolulu (Blackburn). — Molokai, leeward side, 

 sea-level, x. 1893 (Perkins). 



(2) Medon ee/ebensis, Fauv. (i. 1.). 



This is a small delicate insect looking like M. debiliconiis but considerably narrower. 

 As I have onl)- one specimen, and the species is foreign to our fauna, I cannot deal 

 further with it. M. Fauvel informs me that he subsequently found his L. eelebensis to 

 be a previously described species, but he cannot recall what. 



H.\i!. Oahu, in vegetable refuse, the beach, near Honolulu (Blackburn). 



Ophiomf.don, Sharp. 



Ophioinedon Sharp, Biol. Centr. Amer. Col. i. pt. 2, p. 567. 



When I established the genus Ophioinedon for some South American insects, I 

 examined the Hawaiian Lithocharis ineompfa and labelled the type specimen "an 

 aberrant Op/iioniedon.'' 



(i) Opliioinedon inconipiiis, .Sharp. 



Litliocharis ineonipta Sharp, Tr. Dublin .Soc. ni. 18S5, p. 124. 



Ophioinedon ineoniptiis Sharp, Biol. Centr. Amer. Col. i. pt. 2, p. 567. 



This has not been found again since Mr Blackburn's discovery of it. I looked on 

 it as a form imported from the New World, but I cannot point out anything there as 

 very closely allied. The discovery of a second, allied, form on another island makes 

 this more doubtful. 



H.^B. Hawaii, a few specimens in Freycinetia flowers at an elevation of about 

 4000 ft. on Mauna Loa (Blackburn). 



(2) Ophiontedon subtilis, sp. nov. 



Subdepressus, dense subtilissime punctatus, hand nitidus, fusco-ferrugineus, antennis 

 palpis pedibusque rufo-testaceis, elytris versus suturam cumque abdominis segmentorum 

 marginibus rufescentibus. Long, vix 5 mm.
