COLEOPTERA 631 



maris majores sed late separati. Metasternum anterius obsolete sive vix evidenter 

 carinatum. Long-. 3 — 3-5 mm. 



Very like M. glabripcnnis, but a more elongate insect, and easily distinguished by 

 the fact that the pubescence, instead of forming a narrow line along each side of the 

 suture, spreads out posteriorly as a thin covering over the general surface, the surface 

 having a feeble, but close, rugulose sculpture to, or nearly to, the lateral margins on the 

 apical portion. The club of the antennae is only very moderately developed. I have 

 examined a satisfactory series. 



Hab. Hawaii ; widely distributed at 4000 ft. and above iA dry localities. 



(41) 3Iii-os(eriius angnlatiis, sp. nov. 



Brunneus, nitidus, capite nonnunquam obscuriore. Oculi haud magni, latissime 

 separati. Antennarum clava sat magna, articulo primo triangulari, fortiter dilatato, 

 angulo interno conspicue acuto. Pronotum flavido-pubescens, nitidum, e.x majore 

 parte obsoletissime, sive vi.x evidenter, punctatum. Elytra ad suturam, anterius 

 angustissime, posterius late, subtilissime dense punctulata, ibique pubescentia, caeteris 

 partibus fere glabris, nitidissimis, parcissime punctatis, punctis majoribus, levissime 

 impressis, latera versus subtilissime longitudinaliter rugulosa. Metasternum carinatum. 

 Long. 3 mm. 



This appears to be a very distinct species. The fine puncturation of the elytra 

 is confined to the sutural margin anteriorly, but posteriorly spreads widely outwards, 

 though not nearly attaining the lateral margins. The inner angle of the antennal club 

 joints is unusually sharp, 



Hab. Maui, Haleakala, 4000 — 5000 ft. 



(42) Mirostcrmts konaiius, sp. nov. 



Niger, nitidus, capite et pronoto obscure rufescentibus, hoc elytrorumque apicibus 

 sat dense aureo-pubescentibus. Oculi t magni, e.x his unus spatio frontis intermedio 

 vix minus latus, oculi % multo minores et late distantes. Antennarum clava ^ magna, 

 articulo primo lato, angulo interno haud acuto. Antennarum clavae $ articulus primus 

 articulo maris secundo vix major. Elytra nitida, sat elongata, parte apicali usque ad 

 margines laterales densissime punctata, et pubescente, parte reliqua fere glabra spar- 

 sissime punctata, parum aut haud rugulosa, basi extrema haudquaquam dense punctata. 

 Long. 275—3 mm. 



I have seen only three examples. 



H.\B. Hawaii; Mauna Loa within the wet belt.
