94 NEOTROPICAL PSELAPHIDAE 



Two species known: 



impressa (Raffray). 1908. Guadeloupe, Leeward Islands. (Ramecia) 

 minutus Raffray. 1903. St. Vincent, Windward Islands. Genotype. 



It will be noted that Biblomimus is restricted so far to the Lesser Antilles, 

 no species having been recorded from North, Central or South America; on the 

 other hand, Ramecia is unknown from Central or South America. This wide 

 geographic separation is additional evidence that the two genera are not 

 identical. 



PANARAMECIA new genus 



Euplectini having (1) vertex trifoveate; (2) eleven-segmented antennae 

 which are widely separated, and with a three-segmented club; (3) maxillary 

 palpi four-segmented, first minute, second long and apically inflated, third sub- 

 triangular, fourth wider than third and longer than second, bearing apically a 

 small palpal cone; (4) pronotum cordifonn, disc simple and unmodified, lateral 

 margins each with a small subbasal tooth and crenulate anterior to tooth, a 

 median fovea connected each side with a smaller lateral fovea by a biarcuate 

 transverse subbasal sulcus; (5) elytra with a transverse multiarcuate basal 

 carina, each arc sheltering a small vestigial basal fovea, the foveae usually 

 three with a vestigial fourth sometimes present, no subhumeral fovea but a well 

 developed longitudinal carina on elytral flank ; no dorsal stria or dorsal depres- 

 sion; (6) five visible tergites in both sexes, first four subequal; (7) six visible 

 sternites in both sexes, second, third and fourth subequal; (8) middle coxae 

 contiguous; (9) tarsi with a large primary claw and a very thin accessory claw 

 which is half as long as large claw and difficult to see on dry mounts, but readily 

 seen on cleared slide mounts; (10) prosternum simple, with no median, longi- 

 tudinal carina. 



Genotype: Panaramecia williamsi new species. 



Panaramecia williamsi new species 



Male Holotype. Measurements: head 0.22 x 0.29 mm.; antennae 0.38 mm.; 

 pronotum 0.24 x 0.3 mm. ; elytra 0.33 x 0.45 mm. ; abdomen 0.5 x 0.4 mm. ; total 

 length 1.29 mm.; greatest width 0.45 mm. (PI. XV) 



Reddish-brown, integument moderately shining; pubescence opaque, dense, 

 conspicuous (average length of body setae 0.03 to 0.05 mm.), and in addition 

 about twenty-five very much longer setae dispersed on the tergites, these setae 

 from 0.1 to 0.15 mm. long. 



Head with tempora straight, and temporal angles broadly rounded, the 

 tempora longer than the eyes. Eyes relatively small, composed of about 26 to 28 

 very minute facets. Head dorso-ventrally flattened, the vertex only slightly 

 convex, the sides above the eyes carinated each side from the antennal insertion 

 to a point opposite the posterior eye margin. Occiput medianly with a very
