middle, connected to a narrow vitta extending backward along the 

 sutural margin, and covering the extreme apical part. (Example 

 badly rubbed, but punctured area shows pubescent design.) 



Abdomen beneath partially destroyed; last segment broadly 

 rounded at apex. Prosternum feebly, coarsely rugose at middle, 

 coarsely ocellate-punctate at sides, sparsely clothed with rather 

 broad, semierect, white hairs, with a few fine, erect hairs intermixed ; 

 prosternal process rather broad, slightly expanded behind the coxal 

 cavities, broadly, transversely truncate at apex. Legs robust, 

 coarsely scabrous, sparsely clothed with long, stiff, erect, white hairs, 

 posterior pair long; femora strongly, abruptly clavate, petiolate at 

 bases, middle and posterior pairs bispinose at the tips, and the pos- 

 terior pair extending slightly beyond the tips of the elytra; pos- 

 terior tibiae long, subcylindrical. 



Length, 9 mm. ; width, 3.2 mm. 



Type locality. — La Vanneau, Haiti. 



Type. — U.S.N.M. No. 43738. A unique female collected June 19, 

 1915, by W. A. Hoffman. 



Remarks. — Described from the type. 



This species resembles araneiformis Olivier, but it differs from 

 that species in being entirely black, except the tarsi and antennae, 

 which are pale reddish yellow, and in the pronotum having only a 

 single median row of elevated ridges. 



NEOCLYTUS PUBICOLLIS. new species 



Small, elongate, subcylindrical, pale reddish brown, except the 

 base of the pronotum, basal third of each elytron, mesosternum, and 

 metasternum, which are dark brown ; elytra ornamented with whitish 

 pubescent markings. 



Head coarsely, densely ocellate-punctate, sparsely clothed with 

 semierect, whitish pubescence, front as long as wide, flat between the 

 antennal tubercles, which are slightly elevated; eyes round, rather 

 small, feebly emarginate, and moderately convex. Antenna extend- 

 ing to basal third of elytra, and the outer joints considerably en- 

 larged; first joint long, cylindrical, slightly enlarged toward apex, 

 twice as long as the third joint, which is distinctly longer than the 

 fourth. 



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

 apex, and widest at middle; sides strongly, arcuately rounded, nar- 

 rowly constricted at base; disk moderately convex, slightly uneven, 

 with four strongly elevated, median ridges, the second ridge from 

 the anterior margin divided into two small spots, the other three 

 ridges transverse; surface densely granulose, densely clothed with
