A single specimen was taken by beating branches of trees in one 

 of the numerous ravines on Konahuanui, Oahu, at an elevation of 

 about 2000 feet above the sea. 



N.B. — I may add that I have mutilated (possibly immature) 

 specimens, apparently of two distinct species of this group, both 

 taken among damp decaying leaves near a waterfall on Oahu. The 

 length of leg and antenna in these is most extraordinary. With 

 a trunk not much above ^ in. in length, the span from the apex of 

 the hind leg to the apex of the antennae (supposing them extended 

 backwards and forwards respectively) would be little less than two 

 inches.

This species is rather closely allied to JV. subrufus, Wh., but 

 easily distinguished by the structural character mentioned above. 

 The general colour of the upper surface is a rather bright testaceous 

 yellow, which is tolerably uniform save as follows : — the antenna 

 are slightly infuscate near the apex; the femora are rather thickly, 

 but not conspicuously, dusted with minute black spots ; the tarsi 

 are blackish at the apex ; the collar and the middle part of the 

 basal lobe of the thorax have a greenish tinge ; the anterior lobe of 

 the thorax has some linear blackish markings (probably variable) 

 among which are two semicircles on the base ; the scutellum has 

 a very Vjroad rather bright red margin, within which it is black ; 

 the nervures of the corium and clavus are obscurely reddish 

 Ijeconiing near the apex (and along the apical margin) of the corium 

 a vivid carmine. The portion of the corium which in repose is 

 hidden under the pronotuiu is nearly black. The membrane is 

 infuscate Imt not spotted. The hii^d wings are of a smoky black 

 colour. The upper surface of the hind body is quite black, save
