last segment broadly subtruncate at apex. Femora only feebly 

 swollen, and the posterior pair extending to near the posterior 

 margin of the third abdominal segment. Tibiae straight, sub- 

 cylindrical, and gradually enlarged toward the apex. Tarsi with 

 the first joint gibbous on the dorsal surface. 



Length, 32 mm. ; width, 12.5 mm. 



Type locality. — Santa Lucia Island, West Indies. 



Type.— Csit. No. 28390, U.S.N.M. 



Described from a single example collected by H. A. Ballou. Tliis 

 beautiful species can at once be distinguished from all the other 

 described species of the genus by the elytra having distinct longi- 

 tudinal glabrous lines, which are ornamented with small whitish 

 pubescent spots. 



LEPTOSTYLUS LONGICORNIS, new species 



Form elongate, not very robust, feebly convex above, uniformly 

 reddish-brown, densely clothed with cinereous pubescence, with a 

 few darker spots on elytra behind middle, and numerous small 

 ocherous areas; mandibles black; palpi uniformly reddish-brown. 



Head nearly flat and quadrate in front of the antennal tubercles, 

 deeply angularly depressed between the antennal tubercles, which 

 are strongly developed and nearly contiguous at their base, the sur- 

 face densely clothed with short, recumbent, cinereous, and yellowish 

 pubescence, concealing the surface, and with a narrow, longitudinal 

 groove extending from the epistoma to occiput; eyes small, not very 

 coarsely granulated, deeply emarginate, and separated from each 

 other on the top by about two-thirds the width of the emargination 

 of the eyes in front, the lower lobes rounded and the upper lobes 

 small and narrow. 



Antennae more than two times as long as the body (eleventh joint 

 missing), first four joints obsoletely mottled brown and cinereous, 

 the following joints cinereous, with the apex of the joints more or 

 less brownish; first joint rather slender, subclavate, slightly pro- 

 duced on under side at apex, extending to basal fourth of the pro- 

 notum,.and subequal in length to the fourth join*-, which is slightly 

 shorter than the third. 



Pronotum one-half wider than long, and the base and apex about 

 equal in width ; sides strongly constricted near apical angles, strongly 

 and broadly tumid at middle, and parallel at basal fourth; surface 

 with a broad transverse basal and apical constriction, with seven 

 tubercles arranged in two transverse rows on the disk, of which the 

 three median ones are more strongly elevated, with a few widely 

 scattered coarse punctures and a more distinct series in the apical 

 and basal constrictions; the surface also densely clothed with re- 

 cumbent, yellowish-white pubescence, and ornamented with a broad
