206 Mr. D. Sharp on some 



A single indlvidnol, which I think is a male, has been 

 sent me by Mr. Blackburn as No. 41. It was found, I 

 believe, in the island of Oahu. 



The following are the structural characters of this 

 species : — 



Form rather robust and subparallel, not broad nor de- 

 pressed. Head very short, vertex scabrous and a little 

 inflated ; eyes coarsely facetted, reniform, their upper 

 parts very widely separated, the interval in fact being as 

 broad as the whole width of the vertex ; space between 

 insertion of an tenure moderately broad. Antennas rather 

 stout, not spinose, but pilose beneath, a little longer than 

 body (in the male no doubt), 1st joint stout, hardly so 

 long as 3rd ; 3rd not sulcate, but rather flattened above ; 

 4th joint shorter than the following ones, equal to the 

 10th in length, 10th and 11th subequal. Mandibles very 

 short ; ligula membranous, apical joints of palpi rather 

 strongly securiform. Front coxfe globular and rather 

 prominent, their cavities completely rounded externall}^ 

 open behind, rather widely separate. Intermediate coxal 

 cavities very complete externally, so that no outward pro- 

 longation of the coxa can be seen. Middle and hind 

 thighs only moderately long, but pedunculate ; tarsi rather 

 stout, tibite without carinre. Elytra quite rounded at 

 extremity. 



The position of this form is in the Section A. of the 

 Cermnhycides vrais sj/lvains of Lacordaire, and though 

 I cannot find that it has any close affinity with any known 

 forms, it had better be placed in his " Group XV. Calli- 

 diop sides. ""^
