and several bristles on the rounding temporal margins ; occipital margin broadly con- 

 cave, bare ; pale fuscous with dark brown clypeal blotches barely separated from the 

 dark ocular blotches ; temples narrowly bordered with dark brown deepening to black 

 on the broad occipital band, fading anteriorly to meet the ocular blotches, mandibles 

 dark, showing through the head. 



Prothorax narrow, short, a spine and long hair in each obtuse lateral angle ; one 

 long hair on the lateral margin and a third long hair in the latero-posterior angles ; 

 posterior margin broadly convex ; color dark fuscous with narrow lateral line of 

 dark brown. Latero-posterior angles with dark brown blotch ; two small dark 

 triangular dorsal blotches each side of the median line (sternal markings). Metatho- 

 rax bell-shaped, a few prickles on the lateral margins ; posterior angle with four short 

 spines and two long stiff hairs ; color dark fuscous deepening in the posterior angles ; 

 a distinct pale suture between the meso- and raelathorax with a slight lateral angular 

 emargination and an uncolored median line across the mesothorax. Sternal marking 

 consisting of distinct shield-shaped blotch of clear brown, the lateral angles being 

 dark brown on the prothorax ; a broad metathoracic blotch with dark intercoxal bor- 

 ders. I-egs long, fore femora greatly thickened, some stiff hairs; concolorous with 

 head, narrow dark marginal markings. 



Abdomen elongate oval with a series of short prickles along the lateral margins 

 of the segments ; after segment 5 one or two hairs in the posterior angles of segments, 

 these angles not extending enough to break the regular elliptical margin of the abdo- 

 men ; color dark fuscous with black lateral border, broader on the first segments of 

 abdomen, diminishing to a narrow line on the anterior half of the last segment ; a pale 

 longitudinal line running parallel with the lateral margin ; each segment with a broad 

 median transverse band separated by a pale line from the other segments ; dorsal sur- 

 face thickly scattered with short hairs ; last segment narrowly rounding with long 

 hairs on the lateral margin and fringe of fine short hairs along the posterior margin ; a 

 pale uncolored line on the posterior margin with large pustulations in the anterior ends 

 of clear region. 



Three females taken from A nous stolidus. (Kahului, Maui Island.) 

 Colpocephalum brachysomum, sp. nov. (Plate XIV, Fig. 3.) 



Female : Body, length 1.33 mm.; width .7 mm.; short, broad, pale fulvous with 

 dark brown to black markings on head. 



Head, length .36 mm.; width .6 mm.; front flatly rounding, a short weak hair 

 each side of the median line, a second weak hair on the lateral margin of the front ; 

 two long and two short hairs on the lateral angle in front of the ocular emargination . 

 antennae projecting beyond the margin by its last segment ; eye large, distinctly 

 divided, the larger anterior portion filling the angle of the ocular emargination, while 

 the posterior portion lies apparently on a ridge which extends across the temples, a 

 distinct black fleck in the larger portion of the eye; few stiff hairs in the ocular fringe, 

 growing more irregular in length on the anterior portion of the prominent, rounding 

 temples, one of these hairs very long, a few shorter hairs on the posterior margin ; oc- 

 cipital margin weakly concave, with a long hair and short spine each side of the 

 median line ; color pale yellowish-brown ; large ocular dark chestnut-brown blotches 

 extending laterally by the black ocular fleck ; dark brown clypeal blotches extending 

 inwardly to the dark mandibles ; occipital band distinct, widening into deep ruddy 

 brown angular occipital blotches, which fade anteriorly.
