ART. 22 NEW WEST INDIAN BEETLES FISHER 9 



Described from two specimens collected at the type locality on 

 December 29 and June 8, by E. A. Scliwarz. 



The paratype, which was collected on December 29. differs from 

 the type in being smaller, paler in color, the dark markings more 

 conspicuous, and the antennae nearly as long as the body. 



This species resembles Desimphora pallida Bates, but can be at 

 once separated from that genus by the fact that the prosternum is 

 not tuberculate between the anterior coxae, the surface is not raised 

 to the top of the coxae, and the elytra are much more coarsely and 

 densely punctured than in pallida. 



EUPOGONIUS ANNULICORNIS, new species 



Female. — Elongate, uniformly reddish brown above, rather densely 

 clothed with short, recumbent, yellowish-white pubescence, which 

 does not conceal the punctures, but becomes denser in spots on the 

 elytra, causing the surface to have a mottled appearance, and with 

 numerous, rather long, erect setae arising from the punctures; be- 

 neath dark reddish-brown, more or less marked with rufous, with 

 the basal half of the tibiae reddish-yellow, and the tips of the tibiae 

 and tarsi black, the surface rather densely and irregularly clothed 

 with recumbent yellowish-white pubescence, with a few rather long 

 erect hairs of the same color intermixed. 



Head strongly transverse and feebly convex hi front, flat between 

 the antennal tubercles, wliich are scarcely elevated, and the surface 

 rather densely, coarsely, and irregularly punctate; eyes coarsely 

 granulated, deeply emarginate, and separated from each other on 

 the top by nearly twice the width of the emargination of the eyes 

 in front. Antennae about as long as the body, uniformly black, ex- 

 cept basal part of the first, third, and fourth joints, rather densely 

 clothed with short recumbent black pubescence, except the basal 

 half of the third and fourth joints, which are reddish-yellow, and 

 clothed with cinereous pubescence, in addition the joints are sparsely 

 clothed with moderately long, erect hairs; first joint robust, clavate, 

 and scarcely one-half as long as the third joint, which is about one 

 and one-half times as long as the fourth, the following joints much 

 shorter and subequal in length. 



Pronotum distinctly wider than long, the base and apex about 

 equal in width; sides feebly arcuately rounded, with an obsolete 

 obtuse tooth on each side at the middle; surface regularly convex, 

 even, feebly transversely depressed near base, and rather densely, 

 coarsely, and irregularly punctate. 



Elytra four times as long as pronotum and considerably wider 

 than it at base; humeral angles broadly rounded; sides feebly, ob- 

 liquely expanded to apical fourth, then arcuately attenuate to the 

 tips, which are separately broadly rounded; surface coarsely and
