154 = Biackpurn and SHarp—On some New Species and Genera of Coleoptera. 
Eopenthes obscurus, n. sp.—Fuscus, prothorace vix subzenescente, antennis 
pedibusque sordide rufo-testaceis, illis basi rufo; capite thoraceque fortiter dense 
punctatis, tenuiter pubescentibus, hoe angulis posterioribus acute carinatis; elytris 
basi late vageque rufescente, interstitiis parce punctatis et tenuiter pubescentibus. 
Long. 10 m.m. (Plate 1v., f. 19.) 
In this species the sides of the thorax are slightly sinuate, and the prosternal 
process is bent upwards behind the cox, and is furnished with a small angular 
projection. This character will readily distinguish the insect from E. basalis, 
even if the difference in colour and other respects prove inconstant. In the only 
individual I have seen, the second and third joints of the antennz are not quite so 
short as in E. basalis, and the apices of the elytra are not acuminate ; but these may 
be sexual characters. 
This species, like H. basalis, was sent me by Mr. Blackburn as No. 323. It was found in the 
mountains near Honolulu, but not in company with HE. basalis.

Eopenthes debilis, n. sp.—Rufus, capite nigro, antennis pedibus elytrisque 
testaceis ; prothorace haud dense punctato; elytris tenuiter striatis, striis fortiter 
punctatis, interstitiis parce punctatis et pubescentibus. Long. 7 m.m. 
Antenne reaching as far back as the hind angles of the thorax, rather slender ; 
second and third joints short; the latter of the two a little the longer, and very 
evidently longer than broad; striz of elytra fine and very shallow, marked with 
conspicuous though rather distinct punctures; apices of elytra not acuminate. 
Prosternal process bent upwards a little behind the coxe, its prominent angle but 
small. 
T have two female individuals before me, sent as No. 822, and found rarely by sweeping ferns at an 
elevation of about 2500 feet on the Waianae mountains, Oahu. 
D.8. 
EKopenthes konz, n. sp. — Subnitidus; niger, antennis pedibusque /piceis, 
elytris (sutura excepta) castaneis; capite prothoraceque crebre subtilius punctatis 
tenuiter pubescentibus; hujus angulis posterioribus subtiliter carinatis; elytris 
fortiter striatis, striis fortiter seriatim, interstitiis confuse, punctatis; his tenuiter 
pubescentibus. Long. 9. m.m. 
Antenne reaching back by rather more than the length of the apical joint be- 
yond the end of the hind angles of the thorax, pitchy, very little paler at the base; 
second and third joints short, equal. Thorax much more strongly widened towards 
the base in the basal third than in the front part, so that the lateral margin ap- 
pears gently concave; the carina of the hind angle obscure; punctuation dense 
and fine, the surface being shining. The prosternal process resembles that of 
E. obscurus, Sh., but is not quite so strongly curved upwards behind the coxz. 
A single specimen was taken flying, near Kona, Hawaii, at an elevation of about 5000 feet.
