cornis, and the elytra uniformly narrowed behind from F’. parallelus. My speci- 
men has scarcely any trace of pubescence, but I think this may be due to its not 
being in fresh condition. There is an obscure longitudinal carina on the forehead. 
A single specimen was taken under the bark of a tree on the Waianae Mountains, Oahu. 
TB: 
Fornax parallelus, n. sp.—Angustus, parallelus, pubescens, castaneus; capite 
crebre fortiter punctato; prothorace leviter transverso antice parum angustato, 
trans basin elytris vix latiori, angulis posticis parum productis ; elytris elongatis, 
parallelis, striatis, interstitiis subconvexis confuse nec crebre punctatis. Long. 
7 m.m. 
The extremely parallel form of this insect distinguishes it from all its described 
Hawaiian allies. 
A single specimen was taken in damp moss near the summit of Konahuanui, Oahu. — 
Fornax longicornis, n. sp.—Oblongus, apicem versus fortiter angustatus ; ob- 
scure pubescens, fuscus, elytris nigrescentibus ; antennis corporis dimidio longiori- 
bus ; capite crebre fortiter punctato; prothorace transverso, antice angustato, trans 
basin elytris sat latiori, crebre subtilius punctato, angulis posticis fortiter productis ; 
elytris striatis, interstitiis confuse punctatis. Long. 45 m.m. 
The great breadth of the thorax at the base (where it is considerably wider 
than the elytra), and the very strongly produced hinder angles of the same, the 
long antenne, and the very strong narrowing of the elytra towards the apex, 
together with smallness of size, give this insect a perfectly distinct facies. 
A single specimen occurred under bark of a tree on Haleakala, Maui, at an elevation of about 4000 
feet ; a second (severely mutilated, but probably identical) was taken afterwards within a mile of the 
same place, and at about the same elevation.

Fornax obtusus, n. sp.—Latus; postice obtusus; pubescens; rufopiceus, an- 
tennis pedibusque dilutioribus ; capite prothoraceque obsolete punctatis; hoc 
parum transverso, trans basin elytris latiori; elytris striatis, interstitiis crebre sub- 
tiliter punctatis. Long. 10 m.m. 
Allied to F. bonvouloiri, Sh., but differently shaped, being much wider and 
less narrowed behind; the thorax is less transverse and more strongly produced 
backwards; the width across the lobes being considerably greater than the base of 
the elytra, which latter are scarcely at all contracted in their anterior half, their 
sides being slightly rounded, and their length decidedly less than three times that 
of the thorax; the head and thorax are very closely but excessively faintly punc- 
tured; the punctuation of the elytra is not so strong as in F. bonvouloiri, Sh. 
Two specimens (one of them! much mutilated) occurred under bark of trees on Haleakala, Maui, at 
an elevation of nearly 5000 feet.
