BY B. T. FULLAWAY. 



OorJcma.s Jaysanensis n. sp. 



Elongate oval, shining, aeneous black, antennae, tropin and 

 tarsi reddish brown. Rostrum fairly long and broad, not 

 widened apically ; dnll, snbrngonsly punctate. Eyes moderate- 

 ly convex. Antennae with the first funicle joint longer and 

 stouter than the 2nd, the latter much narrower basally, 3rd 

 and following joints round, moniliform, club greatly expanded. 

 Pronotum moderately convex, strongly and closely punctured. 

 Elytra conspicuously clothed with short, wdiite setae, the serial 

 punctures remote from one another, the interstices with very 

 conspicuous and numerous fine punctures, the striae towards 

 the apex of elytra deeply impressed. Beneath the metasternum 

 is very coarsely punctured, the abdomen at the base between the 

 hind coxae hardly less coarsely but not so closely, apical seg- 

 ment very finely and closely punctured. 



Length 4 mm. Described from what is presumably a male 

 s])ecimen. The only other specimen taken has the rostrum con- 

 siderably longer and is presumably a female. 



Type specimen in Bishop ^Museum.
