ELAPHIDION ALBOMACULATUM Champlain and KnuH 



ElapMdion alboniaculatum Champlain and Knull, Ent. News, vol. 33, p. 146, 

 1922. 



This species was described from Miami, Fla., but among the 

 material received from the American Museum of Natural History 

 was a specimen collected at Holguim, Cuba, during June. There 

 is another example in the United States National Museum, which 

 was collected at Jarahueca, Province of Oriente, Cuba, between July 

 14 and 18, 1927, by S. C. Bruner. These Cuban specimens are 

 identical with specimens of albomaculatum from Florida.

 pubescence. 



Head rather densely, coarsely, irregularly punctate, rather densely 

 clothed with long, recumbent, gray pubescence, which does not 

 entirely conceal the surface, front wider than long, nearly flat, with 

 a narrow, longitudinal groove between the antennal tubercles, which 

 are widely separated, and feebly elevated; eyes deeply emarginate, 

 separated from each other on the top by about twice the width of 

 the upper lobe. Antenna scarcely as long as the body, basal joints 

 sparsely, irregularly punctate, sparsely, irregularly clothed with 

 long, recumbent, gray pubescence, with a few long, erect hairs on 

 the underside of the joints, apical joints finely, densely punctate, 

 rather densely clothed with short, recumbent pubescence; joints 3 

 to 8 unispinose at apices; first joint robust, slightly clavate, sub- 

 equal in length to the third joint, which is slightly longer than the
