BLACKBURN AND SHARP—On some New Species and Genera of Coleoptera. 151 
Fam. EUCNEMID/. 
Fornax.. 
Fornax bonyouloiri, n. sp.—Ferrugineus, subopacus, crebre punctatus, tenuiter 
fulvo-pubescens ; elytris posterius attenuatis, leviter striatis; prothoracis canali- 
culis lateralibus usque angulos posteriores haud productis; fronte ecarinata. 
Long. 53 m.m. (Plate 1v., f. 17.) 
Antenne slender and elongate, pale red, very broken at the insertion of the 
second joint; basal joint as long as the three following together ; second joint twice 
as long as broad; third about one and a-half times the length of the second; fourth 
shorter than second; fifth longer than the fourth, but still shorter than the second ; 
sixth quite as long as second ; seven to ten subequal, each a little shorter than the 
third ; terminal joint longer than the third, but not quite so long as the basal joint. 
Head rather finely punctate, without longitudinal or transverse carina. Thorax 
rather finely and closely punctate. Elytra finely striate, interstices closely 
punctate. 
According to Comte de Bonvouloir’s monograph, there are but two species of 
Fornax in which the prothoracic channels do not attain the hind angles; and one of 
these, F. debilis, has a longitudinal carina on the head. F. bonyouloiri can there- 
fore only be confounded with the second species, F. guineensis, of which only a 
single example in the Stockholm Museum is known, and it is probable that the two 
are closely allied, but the details of Bonvouloir’s description of F. guineensis do 
not apply satisfactorily to F. bonvouloiri, and moreover in the latter species the 
anterior tibiz are broad. Though it is probable F. bonvoulori will be found else- 
where than in the Sandwich Islands, I believe it to be an undescribed species, and 
have named it in honour of the author of the monograph of Eucnemides, which is 
certainly one of the most praiseworthy and useful entomological works of recent 
years. 
Found, I believe, in Oahu ; sent by Mr. Blackburn as No. 318. 
D.S. 
Fornax sculpturatus, n. sp.—Haud latus; postice angustatus; niger, antennis 
pedibusque rufopiceis; capite crebrius nec fortiter punctato; prothorace trans- 
verso, antice parum angustato, confuse nec erebre punctato ; elytris fortiter striatis, 
interstitiis convexis, confuse nec distincte punctatis. Long. 7} m.m. 
This is a very distinct species; its black colour, longer thorax, less narrowed 
in front, obscure and comparatively sparing punctuation (which is difficult to dis- 
cern at all on the elytra), and deeply striated elytra, distinguish it from F’. bon- 
vouloiri, Sh.; its shape, and the slightly produced hinder angles of the thorax, 
from F. obtusus; its much shorter antenne, different shape, &c., from F. longi-
