by nearly twice the width of the emargi nation of the eyes in front. 

 Antennae a little longer than the body (right antennae missing), 

 uniformly dark brown, sparsely clothed with short, recumbent, 

 brownish pubescence, except the basal half of the third and fourth 

 joints, which are more rufous and clothed with cinereous pubescence, 

 and in addition the joints sparsely clothed with moderately long, 

 erect hairs; first joint short, robust, subclavate, and scarcely one-half 

 as long as the third, which is a little longer than the fourth, the fol- 

 lowing joints much shorter, and gradually decreasing in length. 



Pronotum distinctly wider than long, apex and base about equal 

 in width ; sides feebly arcuately rounded, with an obtuse tooth on 

 each side at the middle; surface regularly convex, even, 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 parallel 

 to apical fourth, then arcuately attenuate to the tips, which are sep- 

 arately, rather narrowly rounded; surface rather densely, very 

 coarsely, and irregularly punctate. 



Abdomen beneath sparsely, obsoletely punctate, and obsoletely 

 granulose ; last segment broadly rounded at apex. Femora strongly 

 swollen toward apex. Tibiae rather robust, subcylindrical, feebly 

 enlarged at apex, and the middle ones not grooved. Tarsi rather 

 narrow. 



Length, 5-6 mm.; width, 1.75-2 mm. 



Type locality. — Cayamas, Cuba. 



Type and paratype.—Cfii. No. 28388, U.S.N.M. 



Described from two males collected at the type locality on May 

 24 and June 10, by E. A. Schwarz. 



This species can be separated from all the other described species 

 of this genus found in the West Indies by the distinct cinereous 

 pubescence above, which is arranged more or less longitudinally on 

 the elytra. 



ESTOLA ATTENUATA, new species 



Elongate, robust, subcylindrical, and more or less cuneiform; 

 above reddish-brown to brownish-black, densely clothed with short 

 recumbent ocherous pubescence, obsoletely variegated with small, 

 irregularly placed areas of paler yellow pubescence, and with 

 numerous short erect hairs which are slightly pointed backward; 

 at the base of these erect hairs the pubescence is obsoletely cinere- 

 ous; beneath, the pubescence is more cinereous than above, and the 

 abdomen and legs strongly variegated with yellowish-brow^n pubes- 

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

 numerous longer erect hairs intermixed ; mandibles brownish-black ; 

 palpi reddish-brown, with the tips paler.
