ANOTHEOBUS. 
A. IGNAYUS, sp. nov. 
JEneo-piceas, antennis pedib usque plus minusve rufescentibus ; rostro lato 
capite longiore, sparsim subtiliter punctato ; antennarum funiculi articulo 
secundo primo vix longiore ; protborace antice for titer postice plus paulo con- 
tractor crebre fortiter punctato, lateribus rotundatis ; elytris subparallelis, 
convexis, substriatis, striis crebre fortiter punctatis, inter stitiis crebre punc- 
tatis. Long. 5^ — 6 mm. 
Haleakala, Maui ; in the bark of the “ Koa ” tree, at an elevation 
of about 4000 feet. 
Easily distinguished from its congener (A. montanus) by the 
strongly rounded outline of its thorax, which is much contracted 
behind, and the sub-parallel form of its elytra, on which the striaB are 
very faint, and the punctures in the striae very fine, as compared with 
those of montanus.

NOTES ON THE HAIRS OF EYMNNOPTNRA. 
BY EDWARD SAUNDERS, F.L.S. 
I published in the Transactions of the Entomological Society of 
London for 1878 the few observations I had then made on the hairs of 
our British Aculeate Hymenoptera. Since which time I have made a 
few further notes which I thought might be interesting to some of the 
readers of the Magazine. 
I there observed that the Melliferce or pollen-collecting bees 
differed from the other sections of the Order in having their hairs 
branched or plumose, at least on most parts of their body. Now, 
there are a few Melliferce and Eossorials, &c., which have hairy eyes ; 
and it occurred to me that it would be interesting to see if these very 
minute hairs which grow between the facets of the eye were also con- 
formable to the rule observed above. I therefore compared the 
hairs from the eye of Entomognatbus brevis , one of the fossores, with 
those from the eye of a species of Ccelioxys , one of the Melliferce ; the 
result being that the Entomognatbus hairs appeared quite simple, 
w r hereas those of Coelioxys showed evident indications of branches, see
