BLACKBURN AND SHArP—On some New Species and Genera of Coleoptera. 143 
L2=MOPHL@US. 
Leemophlceus zeneus, n. sp.—Depressus, latus, nitidus, niger, supra zneo-micans, 
antennis pedibusque fusco-rufis; clypeo anterius recte truncato; prothorace 
fortiter transverso, intra latus linea impressa; elytris profunde striatis, ecostatis, 
interstitiis fere lavigatis. Long. 23 m.m. 
I have seen only one specimen, but suppose from its large head it may be a male. 
The antennz are not very elongate, and do not reach the extremity of the elytra; 
the third and following joints are conspicuously setose ; the three terminal joints 
rather elongate, but scarcely as long as the five preceding together. Head as broad 
as the thorax, short; eyes very convex ; rather coarsely punctate; clypeus quite 
straight in front; the angular transverse depression rather broad and deep, but in- 
definite ; central channel obsolete; intra-ocular line fine but distinct. Thorax 
nearly twice as broad as long, a little narrowed behind, rather coarsely punctate, 
side without margin, but at a little distance within it there is a very fine line, and 
at a greater distance inwards from this a second line, continuous with the intra- 
ocular line. Scutellum large, with two or three punctures. Elytra shining brassy, 
without trace of pubescence, deeply striate, each with six rather deep striz, but 
with no trace of any costa, either submarginal or interstitial. 
Sent as No. 394, and found by Mr. Blackburn, beaten from bark of large Koa tree, at an elevation 
of 4000 or 5000 feet, on Haleakala, Maui; much searching produced only two specimens. That retained 
by Mr. Blackburn attains 8} m.m. in length, but in other respects, he tells me, does not differ from the 
one described. 
D. 5. 
Monanus. 
Monanus brevicornis, n. sp.—Ferrugineus, angustus, fortiter punctatus; an- 
tennis brevibus incrassatis; prothorace subelongato, postice parum angustato, 
fortiter punctato, lateribus crenulatis; elytris fortiter seriatim punctatis, pube 
vestitis. Long 24 m.m. 
Closely allied to M. crenatus, Sh., but much narrower and more parallel, with 
thicker antennze, which are distinctly shorter than the head and thorax, the last 
three joints being distinctly larger than the rest, the ninth and tenth rather strongly 
transverse. The thorax is more elongate than that of M. crenatus, and very little 
contracted behind. 
MLE 133, 
TELEPHANUS. 
Telephanus insularis, n. sp.—Brevior, testaceus, parcius pubescens, elytris 
nigro-trimaculatis, antennis articulis tribus penultimis nigricantibus ; prothorace 
fortiter transverso, lateribus parum perspicue denticulatis. Long, 23 m.m.
