 or no coarse punctures; two inner rows of punctures bordering clavus 

 distinct, second row nearly complete; clavus with a partial row of 

 punctures on basal half or less.

Type data. — In the U.S. National Museum, Uhler (1877, p. 381) 

 wrote of the material on which his descriptions were based as follows: 

 "Inhabits Cuba, and has been collected in various parts of the island 

 by Prof. Poey and Mr. Charles Wright. Southern Florida, Dr. E. 

 Palmer." 



Specimens studied. — 24 males, 36 females.

 land, Lake Placid, Miami, Royal Palm; for all months of the year.

Discussion. — The present species is quite variable in length and 

 width of body, in median impression and lateral punctation of anterior 

 lobe of pronotum, and in proportionate length of antennal segments
