Neoclytarlus euphorbiae n. sp. 



Allied to iV. fragilis and A', itltiiinis but is less depressed in form 

 and much darker in coloration. 



Dull black ; coxae> base of tibiae, and femora, and frequently the 

 tase of the scape and a band be.vond the middle of the hind tibiae, 

 apical 6 or 7 antennal joints and base of others pale testaceous (the 

 apical joints of the antennae more brownish) ; with rather whitish 

 pubescence on the head, thorax, and abdomen, and on the clubs of 

 the femora ; on the elytra the pubescence is absent in two oblique irregu- 

 lar bands, one before the first, and one before the second third of their 

 length, and the pubescence is much thinner near the apices of the 

 elytra. Usually three transverse ridges on the pronotum^ the anterior 

 one not so near the margin as in fragilis: usually the pubescence is 

 absent on the prominences of the sides of the upper surface of the 

 pronotum forming an irregular longitudinal stripe there. 



The apices of the elytra are obliquely truncate within and less 

 rounded than in fragilis. Punctures of pronotum and elytra finer than 

 in fragilis. Club of femora as in fragilis. elytra not particularly elevat- 

 ed near the scutellum. 



Male antennae longer, the apical joints much longer than in the female, 

 Last abdominal segment emarginate but less so than in mediocris as 

 figured (Fauna Haw. 3 : pi. 6 f. 16). 



Length of type and allotype : 10 mm.. ; length of t.mallest specimens 

 of either sex : 5 mm. 



Described from a series of 97 females and 107 males bred 

 from the wood of Euphorbia midtlformh from Ewa Coral 

 Plain, Oahu, at an elevation of about fifty feet above sea 

 level, June to ISTovember, 1919 (Bridwell). 



Type male, allotype female, and paraty]ios in the col-
