Abdomen beneath feebly, sparsely punctate, vaguely granulose, 

 sparsely clothed with short, recumbent, whitish pubescence, with 

 a few long, erect hairs intermixed ; last segment broadly subtruncate 

 at apex. Prosternum transversely flattened on apical half, median 

 part feebly, finely punctate, and sparsely clothed with short, incon- 

 spicuous pubescence, sides and anterior half impunctate and gla- 

 brous, the anterior part vaguely, transversely rugose ; prosternal 

 process very narrow between the coxal cavities, strongly expanded 

 and arcuately declivous posteriorly. Legs long; femora strongly 

 clavate, unarmed at apices; tibiae longitudinally carinate. 



Length, 11.5 mm. ; width, 2.8 mm. 



Type locality — Dominica, Leeward Islands, West Indies. 



r2/?>6.— U.S.N.M. No. 43729. Collected by H. A. Ballou. 



Remarks. — Described from a single example (sex not determined). 



This species can be easily separated from the other described spe- 

 cies of this genus found in the West Indies by its pale yellow color, 

 and in having the upper surface strongly shining and nearly 

 glabrous. 



CYLINDERA FASCIATA, new species 



Female. — Rather broadly elongate, moderately flattened above, 

 strongly shining, uniformly dark reddish brown, tibiae and anten- 

 nae slightly paler, and each elytron ornamented with a transverse, 

 oblique, yellow fascia in front of middle, composed of two elongate 

 spots connected to each other, the sutural spot slightly behind the 

 lateral one. 



Head coarsely, irregularly punctate, coarsely rugose, and clothed 

 with a few long, erect, white hairs, front strongly transverse, with 

 a short, longitudinal, median groove between the antennal tubercles, 

 which are widely separated, and scarcely elevated, surface broadly, 

 transversely concave on vertex; eyes oblong, strongly convex, and 

 feebly emarginate. Antenna about as long as the body, sparsely 

 clothed with short, recumbent pubescence, with numerous long hairs 

 on the underside of the joints, which are slightly flattened, but un- 

 armed at apices; first joint robust, cylindrical, vaguely longer than 

 the third joint, which is subequal in length to the fourth; eleventh 

 joint subequal in length to the tenth. 



Pronotum slightly wider than long, and subequal in width at base 

 and apex; sides strongly, arcuately rounded, slightly constricted at 

 base, with an inconspicuous, obtuse tubercle, on each side at mid- 

 dle ; disk strongly, regularly convex ; surface very sparsely, coarsely, 

 irregularly punctate, and clothed with a few long, erect, rather 

 stiff, white hairs. Scutellum transverse, broadly rounded at apex, 

 and glabrous.
