Very rare. Under stones on the mountains near Honolulu, 

 at an elevation of about 2000 feet. 



Though I have placed this and the following species in the 

 genus Cymus^ they seem to differ from it in some particulars, 

 as, for example, in the shorter rostrum, in which point they 

 approach the genus Arphnus of Stal, from which, however, 

 the tylus not or scarcely exceeding the buccula3 appears to 

 exclude them. Consequently I have described the species at 

 greater length than I would otherwise have done. The genus 

 Cymus, though a small one, is widely distributed, having re- 

 presentatives in the Palsearctic, Oriental, Nearctic, Neotro- 

 pical, and Australian Regions, and a closely-allied genus in 

 the Ethiopian Region. 



It may be noticed that the specimen described above has 

 the second and third joints of the right antenna fused into one, 

 a not uncommon malformation in the Lygteidaj.
