Both the Japanese species have the elytral carina less elevated 
than the Indian, and the punctures on the wing-cases are more distinct 
in the ? than in the f. 
I have also found Brontes planatus here and in Yezo abundantly, 
both under bark of various kinds and in old houses at night, running 
on the rafters ; and Dendrophagus occurs in mountains very sparingly 
under bark of pine and larch. I believe the latter species is not 
distinct from 2). crenatus , which, with the Brontes , is in our British 
List.

DESCRIPTIONS OF FOUR NEW SPECIES OF COSSONIBJE FROM 
THE HAWAIIAN ISLANDS. 
BY THE REV. T. BLACKBURN, B.A. 
OODEMAS. 
0. Olindje, sp. nov. 
Ovale , sat elongatum, nitidis simtim, nigro-ceneum ad viridem aceedens ; 
rostro elongato, apice fortiter dilatato, confertim punctato ; oculis sat magnis, 
convexis ; antennis rostro capite prothoraceque vix brevioribus, funiculi arti- 
culis primo et seoundo elongatis subcequalibus, clavd fortiter elongatd ; pro- 
thorace antice angustato, fortius nec confertim punctato ; elytris antice confuse 
punctatis, postice obscure carinatis, impunctatis, margine anteriori subelevato, 
humeris subprominulis ; pedibus in primis robustis ; subtus abdominis parte 
anteriori minus fortiter punctatd. Long. 6^ — 7^ mm. 
In dead branches of trees near “ Olinda,” the property of S. 
Alexander, Esq , on TIaleakala, Maui ; named in memory of my hos- 
pitable reception at that most agreeable sanatorium. 
An extremely distinct species. The long rostrum and antennae 
(of which latter the club measures more than half a millimetre), the 
prominent eyes, the defined front margin of elytra, and their sub- 
carinate hinder portion, combine to produce a facies suggestive even 
of a distinct genus ; but as each of these organs presents similar 
characters in a less degree in some one or other of the previously 
described species of Oodemas (even the elytral peculiarities being 
faintly represented in nivicola ), I think it must take its place with 
them.
