230 BLAcKBURN AND SHARP—On Hawaiian Coleoptera. 
169. Brachypeplus reitteri, Shp. Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond. 1878, p. 134. 
Ins. Oahu. Aut. 
Frequents the stems of bananas on the mountains near Honolulu. Not at all common. 
170. Brachypeplus infimus, Shp. op. cit. p. 135. 
Ins. Oahu. (?) Imm. 
Under the bark of trees on the mountains. Rare. 
171. Brachypeplus obsoletus, Shp. op. cit. 1881, p- 515. 
Ins. Hawaii. Aut. 
Occurred in various mountain localities on Hawaii, but rarely, and at elevations higher than 3500 
feet. Some (and probably all) of the specimens were taken in the stems of ferns. February. 
172. Brachypeplus omaloides, Shp. op. cit. 1878, p. 136. 
Ins. Hawaii, Oahu. Aut. 
The commonest Hawaiian species of the genus. It occurs in considerable numbers on flawers in the 
mountain forests of Oahu, appearing to prefer the Freycinetia, on the stalks of which it may be found 
even when there are no flowers. It also occurs on Hawaii, and probably on other islands. 
173. Brachypeplus aper, Shp. op. cit. p. 137. 
Ins. Oahu. Aut. 
Taken singly on several occasions under bark of trees on the mountains of Oahu. 
174. Brachypeplus explanatus, Shp. op. cit. 1879, p. 84. 
Ins. Oahu. Aut. 
Two specimens only occurred. They were taken on the mountains near Honolulu, but the exact 
particulars of the capture have been lost. 
175. Brachypeplus brevis, Shp. op. cit. 1878, p. 187. 
Ins. Oahu. Aut. 
Taken on seyeral occasions, but only in very small numbers, by sifting dead leaves at the foot of a 
precipitous cliff in the mountains near Honolulu. The locality is about 1000 feet above the sea. 
176. Brachypeplus spretus, Blackb., ante, p. 136. 
Ins. Maui. Aut. 
Occurs not uncommonly on dead branches of trees, at an elevation of about 4000 feet, on Haleakala. 
177. Brachypeplus inzequalis, Shp. op. cit. p. 136. 
Ins. Oahu. Aut. 
Mountains of Oahu ; generally on flowers of forest trees ; rare. 
178. Brachypeplus striatus, Shp. op. cit. 1881, p. 515. 
Ins. Hawaii. Aut. 
Occurs rather commonly in various mountain localities on Hawaii; generally at a considerable 
elevation (4000 feet or more). It is probably the representative on Hawaii of B. spretus on Maui, and 
B. impressus on Oahu.
