ABT. 22 NEW CERAMBYCID BEETLES FISHER 33 



irregularly, coarsely punctate, the punctures becoming obsolete to- 

 ward apices, irregularly clothed with patches of moderately long, 

 dense, recumbent, white pubescence, with numerous long, erect hairs 

 intermixed. 



Abdomen beneath finely, rather densely, vaguely punctate, smooth 

 and somewhat glabrous at middle, densely clothed at the sides with 

 long, recumbent, white pubescence, with numerous long, erect hairs 

 intermixed ; last visible sternite broadly rounded at apex. Proster- 

 num coarsely, confluently punctate, rather densely clothed with long, 

 recumbent, white pubescence, which does not quite conceal the sur- 

 face; prosternal process rather narrow, expanded behind the coxal 

 cavities, and arcuately declivous posteriorly. Mesosternum broad, 

 even between the coxal cavities, and rather abruptly declivous in 

 front. Legs sparsely, irregularly clothed with long, recumbent and 

 erect, white hairs intermixed; femora not spinose at apices, anterior 

 and middle pairs strongly expanded near middle, posterior pair 

 more slender. 



Female. — Differs from the male in having the antennae only about 

 as long as the body. 



Length, 12-17 mm.; width, 3.6-4.4 mm. 



Type locality. — Hinclie, Haiti. 



Other localities. — Grosmorne and Manneville, Haiti. 



Type and allotype.— \].S.'^.M. No. 43721. 



Paratype. — In Museum of Comparative Zoology. 



Remarks. — Described from three examples: The type, collected at 

 the type locality, August 26, 1924, by G. N. Wolcott (Ace. No. 163- 

 24) ; allotype, collected at Grosmorne, Haiti, February 18, 1926, by 

 E. C. Leonard ; paratype, received from the Museum of Comparative 

 Zoology, collected at Manneville, Haiti, by William M. Mann. 



This species resembles splendidum Fisher very closely, but it can 

 be distinguished from that species in having the third and fourth 

 antennal joints unispinose at the tips, the prosternum arcuately 

 declivous posteriorly, and the elytra clothed with long, erect hairs 

 in addition to the recumbent, white, pubescent spots. 



ELAPHroiON PORTORICENSIS, new species 



Male. — Narrowly elongate, feebly convex above, and similar in 

 form to alhomaculatum Champlain and KnuU, but slightly more 

 slender. Above and beneath uniformly bright reddish brown, 

 strongly shining, and ornamented with white pubescent spots. 



Head rather finely, longitudinally rugose, nearly glabrous, except 



around the eyes, where the surface is densely clothed with long, 



recumbent, white pubescence, front wider than long, flat between 



the antennal tubercles, which are widely separated, but not elevated ;
