164 Buracksurn and Suarrp—On some New Species and Genera of Coleoptera. 
Specimens from Maui are slightly larger than from Oahu, and have, in well- 
marked specimens, the dark markings eneous, instead of black, and the punctu- 
ation tending to greater intensity. 
‘Specimens from Hawaii closely resemble those from Maui, but are a little 
smaller and more obscure.” 
T. B.] 
Cis chloroticus, n. sp.—Parum elongatus, convexus, nitidus, glaber, pallide 
fuscus, antennarum basi pedibusque testaceis, elytris prothoraceque anterius palli- 
dulis. Long. 12 m.m. . 
This insect appears to be closely allied to C. apicalis, though differing from it 
remarkably in colour; the upper surface has no trace of clothing, and is very 
shining ; the thoracic punctuation is distant, and is rather coarse, though indefi- 
nite; the elytra have very little sculpture; it consists of some distant, rather 
coarse but indefinite, punctures on the basal portion. 
I have seen only one specimen, in very bad preservation. Mr. Blackburn found it on Haleakala, 
in the island of Maui, at an elevation of 4000 or 5000 feet, and sent it to me as No. 424. 
D.S. 
Cis calidus, n. sp.—Angustulus, nitidus, pube tenuissima, elongata sat dense 
vestitus, castanea, capite, thorace antennisque versus apicem fuscis, thorace in 
margine anteriore pallido ; parce punctatus. Long. 11 m.m. 
This little insect will be readily recognized by the elongate, very fine, upright 
pubescence of its upper surface ; if this pubescence were removed the surface would 
be seen to be quite shining; the punctuation of the thorax is rather obsolete and 
not coarse or close; that on the elytra is also indefinite, and is confined to the 
basal portion. 
Mr. Blackburn has found this species’ in decaying wood on two occasions, in each case a single 
specimen, in the mountains of Oahu, but in localities twenty miles apart. No. 475. 
D.S§. 
Cis insularis, n. sp.—Elongatus, parallelus, subglaber, nitidus, fusco-testaceus, 
antennarum basi pedibusque rufis, elytris pallidis; antennis apicem versus fuscis ; 
prothorace dense fortiterque punctato; elytris crebrius inequaliter punctatis. 
Long. 2} m.m. 
Antennz with rather elongate club; fuscous with the base pale ; thorax elon- 
gate, quite as long as broad, a little curved at the sides and somewhat narrowed 
behind, coarsely and very densely punctate; lateral margin distinct, but basal 
margin very indistinct; elytra pale yellow, closely and rather coarsely punctate, 
and with the surface a little rugose ; legs stout. 
Oahu.
