346 NOTES ON THE HEMIPTERA OF THE HAWAIIAN ISLANDS, 



My single specimen (taken on Haleakala, Maui, at an elevation 

 of about 4500 feet) is a male, and I do not notice that it diflfers in 

 any conspicuous way on the underside from the same sex of N. 

 arboricola, White. 



iV. Whitei,S]p.nov. Oblongus, nitidus,glaber, rufo-testaceus fusco- 

 maoulatus ; antennis mediocribus ; capite vix punctulato, obscure 

 transversim rugato ; pronoto transverso parce fortiter punctulato, 

 autice angustato ; scutello fortiter 3-radiatini carinato ; corii et 

 clavi venis rufo-brunneis, hujus margine apicali infuscato, illius 

 trimaculato ; membrana juxta mediam basin infuscata ; femoribns 

 posticis ccnspicue fusco cingulatis; corpus subtus nigrum rufo- 

 notatum. Long. 3f mm. 



This insect is another ally of iV. arboricola, White, though it is 

 very differently coloured. The legs and antennse are uniformly 

 reddish-yellow, except the hind femora, which have a broad con- 

 spicuous dark fuscous ring near the apex. The rest of the ujiper 

 surface is of a yellowish-brown colour, somewhat varying in shade 

 and with the following dark fuscous markings, viz., an obscure 

 longitudinal line on each side of the beak, a spot at each posterior 

 angle (and another at the middle of the base) of the thorax, the 

 apical margin of the clavus, three spots along the apical margin of 

 the corium, a spot near the middle of the basal margin of the 

 membrane, and a scarcely traceable cloud extending from near the 

 base of the membrane to the apex. The head is almost absolutely 

 glabrous. The underside is black, — the margins (broadly), and 

 some marks near the hind margins of the apical segments, being 

 red. The apical segments of the hind body are not notably emar- 

 ginate behind. 



Differs from N. Mauiensis, inter aliahy its much longer an tennje 

 of which the apical joint is but little incrassated. 



A single ^ example was obtained by beating flowers at an 

 elevation of about 4000 feet on Mauna Loa, in the month of 

 Februaiy.
