130 BuackBuRN AND SHaRP—On some New Species and Genera of Coleoptera. 
fEletes concentricus, n. sp.—Ovalis, convexus, ferrugineus, nitidus, crebre 
obsoleteque curvatim strigosulus; subtus SUEDE, metasterno anterius plano. 
Long. 1 m.m. 
Of rather narrow and convex form, and readily geneeal by the peculiar 
sculpture of the upper surface, which is without punctures, but bears extremely fine 
scratches ; on the thorax these are so fine as to be with difficulty observed, but on 
the elytra they are more distinct, and have a peculiar arrangement, those near the 
suture about the scutellum being nearly longitudinal in their direction ; those out- 
side them are curved inwards towards the suture behind, while the scratches on the 
more posterior portion are nearly transverse in direction. 
I have seen only one specimen, sent as No. 870 by Mr. Blackburn, and found in the mountains near. 
Honolulu. 
DES 
fEletes monticola, n. sp.—Oblongus, convexus, piceo-niger, subtiliter nec 
ineequaliter punctulatus ; elytris subtiliter rugatis. Long. 14 m.m. 
A decidedly narrower insect than Ji. facilis, Sh., and of darker colour; the 
elytra are very evenly and finely punctured, the punctures here and there running 
in irregular wrinkles. I cannot discover any punctuation on the metasternum. 
A single specimen occurred on Haleakala, Maui, at an elevation of at least 5000 feet. 
ZEletes facilis, n. sp.—Oblongo-ovalis, convexus, piceus, nitidus, crebre punc- 
tulatus, punctis ad elytrorum apicem densis et strigosis. Long. 14 m.m. 
The punctuation on the thorax is fine, but quite conspicuous, and there is no 
basal series; on the elytra it is coarser, and at the apex forms a transverse series of 
dense longitudinal strigosities; the basal ventral segment is strongly punctate, as 
is also the metasternum, but on this the punctuation becomes obsolete on the 
middle; the metasternal stria forms a curved margin to the middle coxa, and ex- 
tends to the epipleura; the suture in the middle between the mesosternum and 
metasternum can scarcely be traced, but when seen it is found that the mesosternum 
is large. 
Found near Honolulu. No. 426.
