48 Mr. D. Sharp on some 



mass them in any genus yet established. I subjoin a brief 

 sketch of their characters, from which it is evident that 

 they should be placed near Oligota. 



La,bial palpi elongate, the terminal joint slender, elon- 

 gate and parallel. Maxillary palpi elongate, their terminal 

 joint about as long as the dilated penultimate one, but 

 remarkably slender and parallel ; the penultimate one 

 rather slender, oval. Eyes very convex and prominent. 

 Antennas 10-jointed, subclavate, loosely articulated. Legs 

 slender and elongate, tarsi 4-jointed, the basal joint of the 

 posterior ones very elongate, quite as long as the three 

 others together. Middle cox as widely separated ; meso- 

 sternum not descending so far between them as their 

 extremity, separated from the metasternum by a fine, 

 nearly straight suture. 



MyllcBna vicina, n. sp. Rufo-obscura, dense subtiliter 

 punctata, subopaca, abdominis apice rufo-testaceo, pedibus 

 testaceis, antennis gracilibus sat elongatis, articulo ultimo 

 dilutiore. Long. corp. extens. 3j mm. 



Of an obscure, dark-red colour, with the extremity of 

 the hind body paler. The antennte ai'e rather long, a 

 little longer than head and thorax, slender; even the 10th 

 joint distinctly longer than broad. The elytra are almost 

 as long as, and scarcely as broad as the thorax. The legs 

 are yellow. There is a slight but distinct and broad inci- 

 sion at the outer angle of the elytra. 



This species is about the size of the European M. 

 hdermcdia, and is extremely similar to it. It is, however, 

 redder in colour, and the parts of the mouth are more 

 porrect, so that the head appears more acuminate in front. 

 These characters approximate it to M. brevicornis, ft-om 

 Avhich it is distinguished by its longer and more slender 

 antennre and the more obscure colour of the anterior parts 

 of the body. 



Found on the island of Maui. 



Mi/llcenn familiaris, n. sp. Nigra, crebre subtiliter 

 punctata, subnitida, antennis, palpis pedibusque fuscis. 

 Long. Corp. extens. 2i mm. 



The antennas are rather short, not so long as head and 

 thorax, the 10th joint rather broader than long. Thorax 

 about as broad as the elytra, not so long as broad. Elytra 

 just a little longer than the thorax, very slightly excised
