and clothed with a few long, erect, inconspicuous hairs. Scutellum 

 broad, broadly rounded at apex, and clothed with long, inconspicuous 

 hairs. 



Elytra nearly three times as long as pronotum, and at base vaguely 

 wider than pronotum at middle; sides nearly parallel from base to 

 near the tips, which are narrowly, transversely truncate; surface 

 densely, coarsely, uniformly punctate, the punctures becoming 

 smaller and more distant toward the apices, and a long, fine, erect 

 hair arising from some of the punctures. 



Abdomen beneath vaguely punctured and very sparsely clothed 

 with a few inconspicuous, erect hairs ; last segment broadly rounded 

 at apex. Prosternum sparsely, coarsely, irregularly punctate, and 

 clothed with a few inconspicuous hairs; prosternal process narrow 

 between the coxal cavities. Legs rather short, sparsely, irregularly 

 clothed with long, semierect hairs ; femora strongly clavate, unarmed 

 at apices; tibiae not carinate. 



Length, 10 mm. ; width, 2.6 mm. 



Type locality. — Manneville, Haiti. 



Type. — In American Museum of Natural History. A unique speci- 

 men (sex not determined) received from the American Museum of 

 Natural History, collected February 18, 1922. 



Remarks. — Described from the type. 



This species resembles Protosphaerion insulare White, described 

 from Jamaica, but differs from that species in having the pronotum 

 more sparsely and irregularly punctured, antennae flattened, and 

 the joints vaguely, longitudinally grooved, and the tips of the elytra 

 narrowly, transversely truncate. 



STIZOCERA VANZWALUWENBURGI. new species 



Male. — Narrowly elongate, subcylindrical, feebly flattened above, 

 and strongly shining; above pale yellow, head slightly darker, and 

 humeri black ; beneath brownish yellow, with the median part of the 

 prosternum black. 



Head sparsely, vaguely punctate, and nearly glabrous, front wider 

 than long, broadly, transversely depressed behind the epistoma, the 

 depression deeper on each side, narrowly, longitudinally grooved 

 between the antennal tubercles, which are widely separated, but not 

 elevated ; eyes deeply emarginate, and separated from each other on 

 the top by three times the width of the upper lobe. Antenna nearly 

 twice as long as the body, finely, sparsely punctate, sparsely clothed 

 with short and long, semierect, yellowish hairs, joints cylindrical, 

 not longitudinally grooved, and joints 3 to 8 strongly unispinose at 

 apices ; first joint robust, slightly arcuate, feebly clavate, considerably
