ART. 22 NEW WEST INDIAN BEETLES FISHER H 



feebly transversely trrooved near the base, with a lon<jjitudinal 

 glabrous space at middle, and rather sparsely, coarsely, and irreg- 

 ularly punctate. 



Elytra about three and one-half times as long as pronotum and 

 considerably wider than it at base ; humeral angles broadly rounded ; 

 sides parallel to apical fourth, then arcuately attenuate to the tips, 

 which are separately narrowly rounded; surface regularly convex, 

 and rather densely, coarsely, and irregularly punctate. 



Abdomen beneath sparsely, obsoletely punctate, and feebly gran- 

 ulose; last segment broadly, but not deeply arcuately emarginate 

 at apex. Femora strongly swollen toward apex. Tibiae rather 

 robust, subcylindrical, not enlarged at the apex, and the middle ones 

 not grooved. Tarsi rather narrow, at least not broadly expanded. 



Length, 7 mm. ; width, 2.25 mm. 



Tyye locality. — Cayamas, Cuba. 



Type.— Ciit. No. 28387, U.S.N.M. 



Described from a unique male collected at the type locality May 

 8, by E. A. Schwarz. 



This species differs from pilosulus Chevrolat in being more red- 

 dish above, not so densely punctate, more densely pubescent, the 

 pubescence composed of i^ale yellow and cinereous hairs intermixed, 

 and the tubercles on side of pronotum obtuse. With this species 

 i have placed a female from San Antonio de los Baiios, Cuba, col- 

 lected by Jose H. Panzos, which may be the other sex of this species. 

 It differs from the type in being shorter, sides of elytra feebly 

 obliquely expanded to apical third, pubescence of the same color, 

 but without any cinereous hairs intermixed, tubercle on side of pro- 

 notum more distinct and acute, and beneath the pubescence is more 

 brownish-yellow, and the last abdominal segment broadly depressed 

 near apex. 



EUPOGONIUS GRISEUS, new species 



Male. — Elongate, subcylindrical, uniformly brownish-black above, 

 rather densely clothed with short recumbent cinerous pubescence, 

 which does not conceal the punctures but is arranged more or less 

 longitudinally on the elytra, with a feeble brownish tinge along the 

 suture, and with numerous moderately long, erect hairs arising 

 from the punctures; beneath brownish-black, more or less marked 

 with rufous, tarsi black, the surface densely clothed with long recum- 

 bent cinereous pubescence, and Avith numerous moderatel}^ long, fly- 

 ing hairs of the same color intermixed. 



Head strongly transverse and nearly flat on the front, flat between 

 the antennal tubercles, Avhich are not elevated, and the surface rather 

 densely, coarsely, and irregularly punctate; eyes coarsely granu- 

 lated, deeply emarginate, and separated from each otlier on the top
