BiLackBurRN AND SHARP—On Hawaiian Coleoptera. 229 
160. Brachypeplus metallescens, Shp. op. cit. 1881, p. 511. 
Ins. Hawaii. Aut. 
On flowers (especially of Freycinetia) on Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa, at elevations of 4000 to 5000 
feet. February, May. 
161. Brachypeplus parallelus, Blackb., ante, p. 135. 
Ins. Lanai. Aut. 
A single specimen was beaten from dead wood near a place called ‘‘ Koek,” at an elevation of about 
2000 feet. September. 
162. Brachypeplus vestitus, Shp. Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond. 1881, p. 511. 
Ins. Oahu. Aut. 
Occurs, not very rarely, on flowers in the forests near Honolulu, at an elevation of about 1500 feet. 
163. Brachypeplus varius, Shp. op. cit. p. 512. 
Ins. Hawaii. Aut. 
Found on flowers, on Mauna Loa, at an elevation of about 4000 feet. February. 
164. Brachypeplus blackburni, Shp. Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond..1881, iv. p. 516. 
(?) var. lanaiensis, Blackb., ante, p. 188. 
Ins. Hawaii, Lanai (var.). Aut. 
Taken by beating dead wood at an elevation of about 4000 feet on Mauna Loa, Hawaii. February. 
The var. (?) was taken under similar circumstances on Lanai, in September. From observation of the 
habits of the insect on Lanai I have little doubt that the specimens originally taken on Hawaii and 
recorded as occurring on flowers were in reality procured from unnoticed dead wood, around which the 
flowers were growing. 
165. Brachypeplus robustus, Shp. Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond. 1878, p. 134. 
Ins. Oahu. Aut. 
Occurs near Honolulu rarely ; once taken in some numbers in interstices on the bark of a tree. It 
has not been taken below 1500 feet above the sea. 
166. Brachypeplus guttatus, Shp. Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond. 1881, p. 513. 
Ins. Oahu. Aut.
