BLACKBURN AND SHARP 
On some New Species and Genera of Coleoptera. 125 
good deal narrowed behind, the front margin a good deal produced in the middle, 
densely punctate, excessively finely carinate along the middle, and with a rather 
large obscure depression in front of the base on each side of the middle. Elytra 
longer than the thorax, and of a paler and brighter red colour, but with a dark 
cloud across the middle, closely punctate. Hind body rather slender, blackish ; 
the hind portion of the sixth segment yellowish. 
Three specimens, found on the flowers of Freycinetia, at an elevation of about 1500 feet, near Hilo, 
Hawaii. The one described is a female; it is closely allied to the Amazonian L. compressa, Sh., and 
is probably a native of some part of the American continent. 
D. §. 
OXyYTELUS. 
Oxytelus bledioides, n. sp.—Rufescens; antennis piceis basi testaceis, pedibus 
testaceis ; capite parce punctato, clypeo opaco subtilissime punctato ; mandibulis sat 
brevibus; prothorace elytrisque sat fortiter nec crebre punctatis ; illo transverso, 
postice angustato, trisulcato; his prothorace parum longioribus, in longum ruga- 
tis; tibiis anterioribus intermediisque biseriatim spinulosis. Long. 4 m.m. 
Antennz moderately long; joint one long and slender, nearly equalling the 
following three in length; joints two and three elongate, pedunculated; three 
longer than two; four transverse, but not wider than three ; five transverse, much 
larger than four; six to nine transverse, a little larger than five, about equal 
inter se; ten not narrower than nine, but as long as broad ; eleven nearly twice 
as long as ten. 
A careful examination of this distinct-looking insect has failed to reveal any 
other distinction from typical Oxytelus than the presence of the well-defined 
double fringe of spines on the anterior four tibiee, and a slightly peculiar build of 
antenna. As I have in my own collection several Oxyteli, showing an indication 
of duality in the row of spines on some of the tibize, I see no sufficient reason for 
calling the species described above by a new generic name. 
The antennz (owing to the basal four joints being testaceous and very much 
narrower than the other joints, while the apical seven are of a pitchy colour and 
of nearly uniform width) present the appearance of being composed of a short 
slender stem and a long cylindrical club. 
A single specimen occurred under the bark of a tree near Honolulu. 
LisPINODES. 
Lispinodes (?) quadratus, n. sp.—Subdepressus ; linearis; nitidus; rufopiceus ; 
antennis palpis mandibulis pedibusque rufescentibus; antennis crassis, capite 
thoraceque conjunctis longioribus ; capite glabro, bi-impresso, antice marginato ; 
prothorace subquadrato, postice distincte punctato, basi utrinque impresso; elytris
