ART. 22 NEW CEEAMBYCID BEETLES FISHER 13 



EBURIA CINEREOPILOSA, new species 



Female. — Form elongate and subcylindrical. Above and beneath 

 black or dark brown (except the legs, which are reddish yellow), 

 but the color is concealed by the dense cinereous pubescence, which 

 gives the body a bluish tinge, and each elytron ornamented with 

 two pairs of elongate, eburneous spots. 



Head transverse in front, broadly, transversely grooved behind the 

 epistoma, narrowly, longitudinally grooved between the antennal 

 tubercles, which are slightly elevated and widely separated, densely 

 clothed with long, recumbent, whitish pubescence, which conceals the 

 surface; eyes deeply emarginate, separated from each other on the 

 top by twice the width of the upper lobe. Antennae broken, basal 

 joint slightly more coarsely punctured than the following joints, 

 which are rather densely clothed with short, recumbent, white pubes- 

 cence; first joint robust, cylindrical, vaguely clavate, and about 

 three-fourths as long as third joint, which is subequal in length to 

 the fourth. 



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

 at base ; sides nearly parallel, slightly narrowed anteriorly, broadly, 

 arcuately constricted behind the lateral spines, armed on each side 

 just behind the middle with a long, acute spine, and with a small, 

 glabrous callosity between the spine and apical angle ; surface rather 

 even, very densely clothed with long, recumbent, white pubescence, 

 which conceals the surface, and the disk ornamented with two round, 

 black tubercles in front of middle. Scutellum triangular-curvi- 

 linear, and densely clothed with long, recumbent, white pubescence. 



Elytra at base distinctly wider than pronotum at middle ; humeri 



prominent and strongly elevated; sides nearly parallel from base 



to near apex, then arcuately narrowed to the tips, which are each 



bispinose, with the sutural spine much shorter than the lateral spine ; 



surface strongly convex, densely clothed with long, recumbent, white 



pubescence, which conceals the surface, except where it is narrowly 



glabrous around the eburneous spots ; each elytron ornamented with 



two pairs of elongate, eburneous spots, the spots of each pair in close 



contact along their entire length, basal spots about equal in length, 



and the inner spot of median pair slightly shorter than the outer 

 spot. 



Body beneath densely clothed with long, recumbent, white pubes- 

 cence, which conceals the surface; surface finely, densely punctate, 

 slightly more coarsely on the prosternum. Middle and posterior 

 femora bispinose, with the inner spine at least twice as long as the 

 outer spine. 



Length, 20 mm. ; width, 5 mm. 



Type locality. — Guantanamo, Cuba.
