ART. 22 NEW CERAMBYCID BEETLES — FISHER 11 



Remarks. — Described from three examples, two males and one 

 female: The type (male), collected at Central Florida (13 miles 

 northeast of Camagiiey), Province of Camaguey, May 15, 1922, by 

 J. Rutz ; the allotype, collected at Baragua, May 14, 1926, at light, by 

 L. C. Scaramuzza (T. P. R. F. Ent. No. 3073) ; and one paratype, 

 collected at Baragua, June 15, 1927, by C. F. Stahl and L. C. Scara- 

 muzza. 



This species is distinguished from the other West Indian species 

 of this genus by its short, robust form, uniform dark reddish-brown 

 color, and by the absence of conspicuous pubescence on the upper 

 surface. 



The paratype differs slightly from the type in having the eburn- 

 eous spots of the basal pairs subequal in length, the median pairs 

 of eburneous spots much shorter than the basal pairs, subequal in 

 length, but with the inner spot of each median pair placed slightly 

 in advance of the outer one, and the tips of the elytra broadly trun- 

 cate, without a distinct spine at the suturai or lateral angles. 



EBURIA BAHAMICAE, new species 



Male. — Form elongate and similar to stigma Olivier. Above and 

 beneath reddish brown, the color nearly concealed by whitish pube- 

 scence, and each elytron ornamented with two pairs of eburneous 

 spots. 



Head transverse in front, rather deeply, transversely grooved be- 

 hind the epistoma, the grooves deeper on each side of middle, slightly 

 concave between the antennal tubercles, which are slightly elevated 

 and widely separated, surface slightly uneven, finely, rather densely 

 punctate, and rather densely clothed with long, recumbent, yellowish- 

 white pubescence ; eyes deeply emarginate, separated from each other 

 on the top by about the width of the upper lobe. Antenna slender, 

 about twice as long as the body, first joint slightly more coarsely 

 punctured than the following joints, and all joints rather densely 

 clothed with short, recumbent, whitish pubescence, with a few long 

 hairs on the underside of basal joints ; first joint two-thirds as long 

 as the third joint, robust, and rather strongly clavate; joints 3 to 10 

 subequal in length ; eleventh joint slightly longer than tenth. 



Pronotum about as long as wide, and slightly narrower at apex 

 than at base ; sides nearly parallel, sinuate, armed on each side with 

 a large, acute spine, with a small glabrous callosity between the spine 

 and apical angle; disk uneven, broadly, transversely flattened along 

 anterior margin, a narrow, transverse (strongly angulated) groove 

 near base, and ornamented with two round, dark brown tubercles in 

 front of middle; surface coarsely punctate, more or less rugose, 

 and densely clothed with recumbent, whitish pubescence, which con-
