Note. — There are two further specimens, both from the Bishop Museum, 

 Honolulu, and similarly labelled " Samoa, Savaii, Salailua, 23.V.1924, E. H. 

 Bryan, Junr., Collector." They present some unusual features and certainly 

 belong to different species of a genus unknown to me ; indeed they may belong 

 to different genera, and, without the dissection of several organs, which would 

 certainly damage the specimens, I have not felt able to deal with them. Both 

 examples appear to belong to the Pterostichini, but evidently differ somewhat 

 in their characters from the European and Asiatic members of that tribe.
