18 PEOCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM vol.80 



Remarks. — Described from 8 examples (one type): -The type, 

 allotype, and 2 paratypes, collected at the type locality, at light, 

 October 24, 1925, by C. F. Stahl (T. P. R. F. Ent. No. 229) ; 2 para- 

 types collected at Central Constancia, May, 1914, by J. F. Merrill ; 1 

 paratype, collected at Central Jaronu (north coast of Camaguey 

 Province), April 4, 1926, by B. T. Barreto; and 1 paratype, col- 

 lected at Guantanamo, at light, by C. T. Ramsden. 



This species can be easily separated from the other described West 

 Indian species of this genus by its uniform brownish-yellow color, 

 by the unispinose tips of the femora, and by the arrangement of 

 the eburneous spots on the elytra. 



EBURIA ELONGATA, new species 



Female. — Form narrowly elongate, subcylindrical. Above and 

 beneath uniformly black, strongly shining, each elytron ornamented 

 with three or four eburneous spots. 



Head transverse in front, deeply, transversely, triangularly de- 

 pressed behind the epistoma, narrowly, deeply, longitudinally 

 grooved between the antennal tubercles, which are widely sepa- 

 rated and moderately elevated; surface sparsely, irregularly punc- 

 tate, irregularly clothed with long, recumbent, white pubescence; 

 eyes deeply emarginate, separated from each other on the top by 

 nearly three times the width of the upper lobe. Antenna slender, 

 about as long as the body, three or four basal joints sparsely, coarsely 

 punctate, sparsely clothed with short, white hairs, with numerous 

 long, erect hairs intermixed, following joints finely, densely punctate, 

 and rather densely clothed with short, recumbent, whitish pubes- 

 cence; first joint robust, strongly clavate, and about two-thirds as 

 long as the third joint, which is slightly longer than the fourth; 

 joints 4 to 11 subequal in length. 



Pronotum as long as wide, and about equal in width at base and 

 apex; sidcvS sinuate, slightly swollen at middle, but without a dis- 

 tinct spine ; disk somewhat uneven, and ornamented with two round, 

 feeble, glabrous callosities in front of middle, and a longitudinal, 

 glabrous, median area; surface rather densely, coarsely, irregularly 

 punctate, and rather densely, irregularly clothed with long, recum- 

 bent, whitish pubescence, except on the median, glabrous area. 

 Scutellum triangular, curvilinear, and densely clothed with recum- 

 bent, whitish pubescence. 



Elytra at base distinctly wider than pronotum at middle ; humeri 

 feebly elevated ; sides nearly parallel from base to near apices, then 

 arcuately narrowed to the tips, which are separately, obliquely trun- 

 cate, with a distinct spine at lateral angle, and an obsolete spine 

 at sutural angle ; surface moderately convex, coarsely, rather densely
