372 PROCEEDIK'GS OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM vol. 04 



Frons (fig. 2) with eyes moderately separated above, surface 

 piceous, convex and nearly impimctate above ; below lighter in shade, 

 concave, with definite, elevated side margins, punctures small, mod- 

 erately spaced, bearing fine, short, yellow hairs directed dorsad, with 

 a few similar hairs above, at each side near the eyes. Eye large, 

 elongate oval, with inner line broadly, shallowly emarginate, facets 

 rather coarse. Antenna with club fusiform, first two sutures septate. 



Pronotum 1.03 times as long as wide, widest near middle, posterior 

 outline bisinuate, posterior lateral angles scarcely rounded; sides 

 nearly straight and very feebly diverging on posterior half, strongly, 

 arcuately narrowed, very broadly rounded in front; surface sub- 

 opaque, densely punctate-strigate, the strigae often broken up into 

 granules, especially in front ; with numerous short, recumbent, yellow- 

 cinereous hairs directed mesad; median line punctured as is rest of 

 pronotum, indicated only by direction of hairs. 



Elytra wider than pronotum and 1.66 times as long, 1.55 times as 

 long as wide; sides subparallel on more than anterior two-thirds, 

 moderately rounded behind ; surface shining but veiled by vestiture ; 

 striae narrow, impressed, strial punctures fine ; interspaces wide, some- 

 what convex, rugulose, finely punctured, with a sparse median row 

 of granules in each interspace, from each of which a stout, erect, 

 brown bristle arises, with numerous, much finer, cinereous, recumbent 

 hairs from finer interspacial punctures. Declivity sloping, strongly 

 sulcate, and retuse ; suture and second interspace strongly impressed, 

 forming a deep sulcus; all of interspaces granulate, third interspace 

 forming the summit of the high lateral elevations, with three large 

 toothlike tubercles ; vestiture of two kinds as on disk, but both kinds 

 longer and coarser. 



Type locality. — Cayamas, Cuba. 



Host. — Unknown. 



Type ma^ewZ.— Holotype, U.S.N.M. No. 56548.

CNESINUS PANAMENSIS, new species 



Plate 15, Figures 3, 4 



Dark reddish brown ; 2.24 mm. long, 2.6 times as long as wide ; 

 rather closely allied to strigicoUis LeConte. 



Frons (fig. 4) black, moderately shining, convex above between the 

 moderately approximated eyes (more closely than in strigicoUis)., 

 broadly impressed below, finely and closely punctured at sides, above, 

 and on epistoma, more sparsely elsewhere ; with rather stout, moder- 

 ately long hairs on sides and epistoma and with a few finer hairs in 

 impression. Eye large, elongate ovate, rather coarsely faceted, inner 

 line broadly, shallowly emarginate.
