552 FAUNA HAWAII EN SIS 



(3) Myllacna ne/csceiis, sp. nov. . 



Rufa, capite abdominisque medio plus minus infuscatis ; antennis minus gracilibus, 

 apicem versus subincrassatis ; elytris thorace brevioribus. Long. 2^ mm. 



This is longer than M curtipcs, and paler in colour ; and I have no doubt as to its 

 being distinct although the small series before me is in very bad preservation. The 

 wings are short, and quite useless for flight. 



Hab. Kauai. Mts. above Waimea, v. 1894; high plateau, viii. 1896; Kauai, 

 4000 ft. VII. 1896; (Perkins). 



(4) Myllaena haleakalae, sp. nov. 



Angusta, fusco-rufa, antennis palpis pedibusque rufis, antennis minus gracilibus, 

 apicem versus subincrassatis, elytris thorace brevioribus. Long. 2\ mm. 



This is comparatively narrower than M. rnfesceiis and is darker in colour, and I 

 think will prove distinct though we have only two specimens. 



There is also a single specimen from Molokai of a very similar insect, but it is too 

 much mutilated to form an opinion about ; high forest, Molokai, 1893 (Perkins). 



Hab. Maui. Haleakala, nearly 10,000 ft. iv. 1894; Haleakala, 5000 ft. i.\. 1896. 

 — ? Molokai (Perkins as above). 



(5) Myllacna curtipcs. Sharp. 



Myllaena curtipcs Sharp, Tr. ent. Soc. London, 1880, p. 49. 



A very tiny species, with comparatively short and stout antennae and legs, and the 

 elytra just perceptibly shorter than the thorax. The colour is fuscous, smoky blackish- 

 red. Dr Perkins has only found two examples. 



Hab. Oahu. Konahuanui, 3000 ft. (Blackburn): Wailua, iv. 1901 ; Honolulu 

 mountains, vi. 1900; (Perkins). 



(6) Myllaena vicina, Sharp. 



Myllaoia vicina Sharp, Tr. ent. Soc. London, 1880, p. 48. 



This species has the antennae more slender and less thickened at the tip than any 

 other of the Hawaiian forms, the penultimate joint considerably longer than broad. 

 The colour is red, much infuscate. The species has ample wings : the elytra are just 

 slightly longer than the thorax. 



Hab. Kauai, Oahu, Molokai, Maui. — Kauai: high plateau, viii. 1896; mts. 

 Waimea, 4000 ft. VI. 1894. — Oahu: Honolulu mts. ix. 1896; Palolo, vii. 1900; back 

 of Tantalus, vi. 1901 ; Kaala mts. 2000 ft. in. 1893 ^ Waialua, iii. 1901 ; Waimea water- 

 shed, iv. 1891.— Molokai : 11. vi. 1893; Pelekunu, high forest, no date ; Molokai mts. 

 4000 ft. VI. 1896. — (Perkins.) — Maui (probably Wailuku valley, Blackburn); West Maui, 

 Jao valley, in. 1894 (Perkins).
