COLEOPTERA t6

(24) Oligota tenuicornis, sp. nov. 



Minus aiii^-usta, nigricans, nitida, antennis palpis pedibusque testaceis, crebre 

 subtiliter punctata et pubescens, antennis gracilibus. Long. i| mm. 



Closely allied to O. oaliucnsis but broader, and with much more slender antennae, 

 the 7th joint being not broader than long, and the 8th and 9th only feebly transverse, 

 whereas in O. oalmcnsis all three are strongly transverse. The metallic reflection 

 present on O. oakuensis and nmtanda is not seen in this species. One specimen. 



H.\B. Hawaii, Kilauea, vii. 1S95 (Perkins). 



(25) Oligota acthiops, sp. nov. 



Angusta, nigerrima, antennis flavis, pedibus tuscis, capite thoraceque obsolete 

 parce punctatis, subtilissime pubescentibus, abdomine minus obsolete punctato, subtiliter 

 pubescente. Long. i|^ mm. One specimen. 



Hab. Hawaii, Kilauea, viii. 1895 (Perkins). 



(26) Oligota pernigra, sp. nov. 



Minus angusta, nigerrima, nitida, antennis flavis, pedibus tuscis, parce subtiliter 

 punctata et pubescens. Long, i:^ mm. 



This is a broader insect than O. acthiops, and more shining ; the thorax is broader 

 than the abdomen which is not the case with 0. aethiops. It also greatly resembles 

 O. miitanda, but is of an intense black colour without metallic reflection, and is con- 

 siderably smaller. One specimen. 



Hab. Lanai, 3000 ft. i. 1894 (Perkins). 



(27) Oligota longipcnnis, Blackburn. 



Oligota longipeniiis Blackburn, Tr. Dublin Soc. ser. 2, iii. p. 123. 



I conclude from Mr Blackburn's brief description, that his O. loiigipeiniis is allied 

 to O. oakuensis, but the coloration he gives does not apply satisfactorily to any member 

 of this group. 



Hab. Oahu, a single specimen (Blackburn). 



(28) Oligota variegata, Blackburn. 



Oligota variegata Blackburn, Tr. Dublin Soc. ser. 2, iii. p. 124. 



M. A. Fauvel who has e.xamined the type thinks this will prove to be O. pafi'a Kr. 

 As that species is believed to be distributed by commerce this is quite possible. 

 Ganglbauer considers O. parz'a may be an exotic species introduced to Europe, where it 

 occurs in various localities ; and it is w^idely distributed elsewhere. 



Hab. Oahu, one specimen under bark of a living tree, Konahuanui, 3000 ft. 

 (Blackburn).
