Elytra three times as long as the pronotuin, and at base distinctly 

 wider than pronotum at middle; humeri rather strongly elevated; 

 sides nearly parallel from base to apical fourth, then feebly, arcu- 

 ately narrowed to the tips, which are separately, broadly, trans- 

 versely truncate, and vaguely emarginate; surface slightly flat- 

 tened along sutural margins behind middle, coarsely, rather densely, 

 irregularly punctate, the punctures becoming sparser toward apices, 

 and sparsely clothed with long, erect, stiff, white hairs. 



Abdomen beneath very sparsely punctate, and a long, erect white 

 hair arising from each puncture; last segment broadly rounded at 

 apex. Prosternum strongly convex, narrowly, transversely de- 

 pressed along anterior margin, very sparsely punctate, vaguely, 

 transversely rugose, and clothed with a few long, erect white hairs ; 

 prosternal process narrow between the coxal cavities, strongly ex- 

 panded and arcuately declivous posteriorly. Legs rather long, 

 sparsely clothed with long, semierect, white hairs ; femora strongly, 

 abruptly clavate, petiolate at bases, not spinose at apices ; tibiae not 

 longitudinally carinate. 



Length, 10 mm.; width, 3.6 mm. 



Tyye locality. — Guantanamo, Cuba.

CYHNDEKA PUNCTICOLLIS, new species 



Female. — Small, rather narrowly elongate, slightly flattened above, 

 uniformly dark reddish brown, antennae and legs vaguely paler; 

 head and pronotum subopaque; eljrtra strongly shining, with a 

 vague, aeneous reflection in certain lights. 



Head coarsely alveolate-punctate, and clothed with a few long, 

 erect hairs, front strongly transverse, slightly concave between the 

 antennal tubercles which are widely separated, and acutely elevated ; 

 surface broadly, transversely concave on vertex ; eyes oblong, strongly 

 convex, and feebly emarginate. Antenna broken, sparsely pubescent, 

 with a few long, erect hairs on the underside of the joints, which are 

 cylindrical, slightly expanded but unarmed at apices; first joint ro- 

 bust, cylindrical, slightly longer than the third joint, which is vaguely 

 longer than the fourth. 



Pronotum slightly wider than long, and subequal in width at 

 base and apex; sides strongly, arcuately rounded, rather strongly
