the pale color is browner, and the dark tint more suffused . It 

 is probably a good species. 

 Length 5 mill. 

 Molokai Mts. 



113. A. oahaensis ( Blackburn ) . 



I suppose that the Tantalus (Oahu) species, taken by Perkins, 

 Giffard and Terry, is this, but I should scarcely have described 

 the fourth segment of the antennae as thickened ; at least it is not 

 noticeably so in fresh specimens, nor is it very appreciably short- 

 er than the third. 



114. A. homifera sp. nov. 



{=Acanthia oahuensis Kirkaldy olim. (pt.) ). 



Closely allied to the last, but the tegminal picturation is 

 different, and the second segment of the antennae is rather longer 

 in proportion. The lateral margins of the pronotum are also 

 rather more sinuate. 



Black; a few, pale, obscure, ferruginous specks on the head, 

 and a pale speck at the apex of the clavus. Corium pale yellow- 

 ish-ferruginous, irregularly and rather sparsely marked and 

 blotched with brown and blackish-brown. Clypeus and base of 

 first segment of antennae yellowish-brown, rest of antennae 

 dark fuscous. Femora brownish-yellow, medially fuscous, 

 tibiae testaceous; fore tibiae slightly fuscous medially, extreme 

 apex blackish. Antennae 15. 38. 22. 21. 

 Length 3-3^ mill. 



Oahu, N. W. Koolau range: specimens from Maui (Haleakala, 

 3000 ft.) and Hawaii (Kona, 2000 ft.), I think are distinct, but I 

 do not care to describe them on the material before me. 



115. A* nwbigena sp. nov. 



{ = Acanthia oahuensis Kirkaldy olim. ( pt. ) ). 



Of the size and form as oahtiensis, but the pronotum is regular- 

 ly roundedly divergent towards the base, and the antennae are 

 much shorter and stouter. Clavus pale yellowish-brown, except 

 basally. Corium the same color, and practically unspotted, but 

 the venation is dark, and rather broadly colored. Legs yellow- 

 ish-brown, slightly infuscate in part, but not noticeably marked. 

 Antennae scarcely reaching to the middle of the scutellum, when 

 turned back, 4. 11. 10. 11. 

 Length 2^-3^ mill.
