COLEOPTERA ■ 619 



(8) Mirosfcrmts hawaitensis, sp. nov. 



Niger, oblongus, subrobustus, griseo-pubescens, femoribus anterioribus saepe 

 rufescentibus, oculis spatio frontis intermedio singulis latioribus, antennarum clava 

 permagna. Elytra lateribus exceptis subaequaliter distincte punctata et griseo-pubes- 

 centia. Long. 3 "5 mm. 



A more robust species than any of the preceding, black, with the tarsi often 

 yellow or reddish, the face and pronotum pitchy red, the antennal club usually 

 black, rarely obscure reddish, the other joints frequently more or less red. Puncturation 

 of elytra very close and distinct, but at the sides the surface becomes shining and 

 the sculpture of a punctate-rugulose character, the punctures sparser and coarser. 

 The inner angles of the largely developed club joints of the antennae are not sharp 

 and these joints are less developed in some specimens, which may be females. 



Hab. Hawaii, at lower elevations, 2000 — 3000 ft. 



(9) Mirostcrmis frigidns, sp. nov. 



Praecedenti simillimus, et illius forte varietas, oculis evidmter fortius separatis 

 tantum certe distinguendus. Long. 375 mm. 



Doubtfully distinct from the preceding, which it resembles in nearly all respects, 

 except that the eyes are very obviously and considerably more widely separated. 



The whole of the front legs and the femora of the middle pair, as well as the scape 

 and funicle ot the antennae are red or testaceous. As compared with a specimen of 

 the preceding the metasternum was more strongly concave, the channel finer and not 

 distinctly crenulate, the carina in side view very short and strongly curved. 



H.\B. Hawaii ; at 5000 ft. The preceding species was found in the wet belt of 

 Mauna Loa, the present one above it. 



{10) Mirostej-ims cpichrysits, sp. nov. 



Fusco-niger, totus dense aureo-pubescens, antennis rufescentibus, scapo clavaque 

 sordidioribus. Oculi singuli spatio frontis intermedio evidenter laliores. Pronotum 

 subtilissime punctulatum. Elytra densissime et subtilissime aequaliter punctata, et 

 pubescentia, lateribus tantum fere glabris, parce punctatis. Long. 3 mm. 



Quite distinct by its dense golden vestiture and other characters. The antennal 

 club joints are large with the inner angles very distinct but not sharp. The width of 

 one of the eyes is somewhat greater than the distance, where least, between them. The 

 metasternum is carinate. 



Hab. Oahu, near Honolulu.
