AET. 22 NEW CERAMBYCID BEETLES FISHER 45 



Remarks. — Described from 4 examples, 3 males and 1 female: 

 The type, allotype, and one paratype, collected at the type locality 

 during July, 1923, by J. Acuna ; and one paratype collected at Caya- 

 mas, Cuba, May 11, by E. A. Schwarz. 



This species resembles dozieri Fisher very closely, but it differs 

 from that species in being more slender, the pronotum distinctly 

 narrower than the elytra, and the surface more sparsely punctured, 

 elytra with the sides more parallel and the surface more densely 

 pubescent (not variegated as in dozieri)., and the legs longer. 



ELAPHIDION NEWMANI Haldeman 



Elaphidion bidens Newman (not Fabricius), Entomologist, vol. 1, p. 25, 1840. 

 Elaphidion netomauii Haldeman, Proc. Amer. Philos. Soc, vol. 4, p. 375, 1847. 



Newman (1840) recorded Elaphidion hidens Fabricius from Bra- 

 zil, but this is not the species described by Fabricius under that name, 

 so Haldeman (1847) gave hidens Newman (not Fabricius) the new 

 name neiomanii {njumanii by typographical error). The species 

 described by Fabricius from South America under hidens has the 

 joints of the antennae bispinose, whereas the species described by 

 Newman under the same name has the joints unispinose. 



This is a South American species and should be dropped from 

 the West Indian lists. 



PROTOSPHAERION TESTACEUM, new species 



Rather narrowly elongate, feebly flattened above, strongly shin- 

 ing, yellowish brown, and the legs slightly paler. 



Head coarsely, confluently punctate, the punctures deep, elongate, 

 and a short, inconspicuous hair arising from each puncture, front 

 wider than long, flat between the antennal tubercles, which are 

 widely separated, but scarcely elevated; eyes deeply emarginate, 

 separated from each other on the top by three times the width of 

 the upper lobe. Antenna slightly longer than the body, rather 

 fi.nely, sparsely punctate, sparsely clothed with short, recumbent, 

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

 joints; joints more or less flattened, vaguely, longitudinally grooved, 

 and joints 3 to 7 more or less unispinose at apices; first joint robust, 

 moderately clavatc, slightly longer than the fourth joint, which is 

 one-half as long as the third; eleventh joint subequal in length to 

 the tenth. 



Pronotum slightly longer than wide, and subequal in width at 

 base and apex; sides feebly constricted near base and apex, rather 

 strongly, arcuately rounded at middle; disk slightly convex, even; 

 surface coarsely, irregularly punctate, the punctures dense at the 

 sides, but becoming more irregular and distant toward the middle,
