AET. 22 NEW CERAMBYCID BEETLES — FISHER 19 



punctate on basal halves, but the punctures becoming more obsolete 

 toward the apices, and narro^yly, densely clothed along the sutural 

 margins with long, recumbent, white pubescence, the pubescent vittae 

 becoming slightly broader toward the apices; each elytron orna- 

 mented with two pairs of eburneous spots (outer spot of median pair 

 missing in type), inner spot of basal pair at least twice as long as 

 the outer one, and the two spots narrowly separated at base, outer 

 spot of median pair (when present) much smaller than the inner 

 one, and the two spots distinctly separated. 



Body beneath finely, densely punctate, except the prosternum, 

 which is sparsely, coarsely punctured, and rather densely, irregu- 

 larly clothed with long, recumbent, silvery-white pubescence. Mid- 

 dle and posterior femora vaguely bispinose, with the inner spine 

 short, and the outer one scarcely developed. 



Length, 1-1—15.5 mm. ; width, 3-3.5 mm. 



Type locality. — Guantanamo, Cuba. 



Type and paratype. — In American Museum of Natural History. 



Pam^ype.— U.s!n.M. No. 43713. 



Reiiiarhs. — Described from three examples (one type), probably 

 all females, received from the American Museum of Natural His- 

 tory: The type, collected June 1, 1908, by S. Cardos; and two para- 

 types, labeled " Guantanamo, Rio Seco, May 31 and June 1, 1910, 

 S. Cardos." 



This species is allied to decemriiaculata Fabricius, but it can be 

 easily separated from that species in being more narrowly elongate 

 and subcylindrical, and in the fact that the elytra have a distinct 

 white pubescent vitta along the sutural margins. 



ELAPHmiON SPLENDmUM, new species 



Female. — Broadly elongate, moderately convex above, and similar 

 in form to spinicorne Drury. Above and beneath uniformly red- 

 dish brown, strongly shining, and irregularly clothed with recum- 

 bent, white pubescence. 



Head sparsely, coarsely, irregularly punctate, rather densely, ir- 

 regularly clothed with moderately long, recumbent, white pubes- 

 cence, front distinctly wider than long, nearly flat, with a narrow, 

 longitudinal groove between the antennal tubercles, which are widely 

 separated but not elevated; eyes deeply emarginate, separated from 

 each other on the top by nearly three times the width of the upper 

 lobe. Antenna as long as the body, four or five basal joints coarsely 

 punctate, sparsely clothed with moderately long, recumbent, white 

 hairs, with a few long, erect hairs on the underside of the joints, the 

 following joints finely, densely punctate, rather densely clothed 

 with short, recumbent, white pubescence, and joints 3 to 10 bispinose
