BLACKBURN AND SHARP—On some New Species and Genera of Coleoptera. 183 
tarsi not much different from those of Acalles; the legs clothed with short, scaly 
setee; the second segment of the hind body is a little shorter than the third and 
fourth together, and the suture separating it from the first is straight; the process 
between the hind coxe is broad and somewhat angular in front; the rostral 
canal is very broad and deep, but only impinges slightly on the mesosternum, the 
front margin of which is only gently emarginate; and there being quite a const- 
derable portion of the mesosternum intact between the end of the rostral canal 
and the front of the metasternum, which latter is proportionally about as long as 
in Cryptorhyncus; the under-surface is excessively strongly and coarsely punc- 
tured, and is evidently clothed with scales (though in my specimen it is a good 
deal abraded); I observe that the mesothoracic epimera seem a little more directed 
upwards than in most of the allied genera; there is a considerable superficial 
resemblance in this insect to some species of Hypera. 
AUG 13}; 
Hyperomorpha squamosa, n. sp.—Sat elongata nigricans, squamis cinereis 
vestita, elytris rufopiceis, antennis tarsisque testaceis; rostro robusto, basin prope 
contracto; prothorace transverso obscure crasse punctato, antice fortiter angustato ; 
elytris subparallelis, obscure striatis, striis crasse punctatis, sculptura sub squamas 
abdita ; subtus crasse profunde punctata. Long. (rostr. incl.) 4 m.m. 
A single specimen was taken from very wet moss, on the edge of a mountain stream, near Honolulu. 
eB: 
CALANDRA. 
Calandra remota, n. sp.—Nigra, nitida, fortiter punctata, rostro elongato, 
ad antennarum insertionem erassiore; prothorace elongato, anterius constricto. 
Long. (inc. rost.) 5-6 m.m. 
Rostrum nearly as long as the thorax, sparingly punctured and shining; eyes 
very near to prothorax; beak constricted in front of them; antennz inserted 
at one-third or fourth of the length of the rostrum from the eyes; basal joint as 
long as the funiculus; club well marked; thorax very large, covered with distant, 
extremely large punctures; elytra deeply suleate, and the grooves bearing large 
punctures, interstices narrower than the grooves, and remotely punctate, nearly 
covering the body, so that the pygidium is small. 
This remarkable species has been found near Honolulu, and may be a native of some other country ; 
but I haye failed to identify it, and it does not exist in the British Museum collection. It occurs com- 
monly in the stems of banana and the prickly pear, near Honolulu.
