long, recumbent, yellowish-white pubescence, which conceals the 

 surface. Scutellum transverse, broadly rounded at apex, and 

 sparsely clothed with fine, black pubescence. 



Elytra two and one-half times as long as pronotum, and at base 

 subequal in width to the pronotum at middle; sides slightly nar- 

 rowed from base to the tips, which are separately, obliquely truncate, 

 bispinose, with the lateral spine much longer than the sutural one; 

 disk strongly convex ; surface finely, confluently punctate, the punc- 

 tures coarser in basal regions, rather densely clothed with short, semi- 

 erect, inconspicuous pubescence, and each elytron ornamented with 

 short, recumbent, whitish pubescence as follows: A transverse, more 

 or less interrupted, broad fascia at middle, narrowly connected along 

 sutural and lateral margins to a straight, broad, transverse fascia 

 behind the middle, and a large spot covering the apical sixth. 



Abdomen beneath feebly, coarsely punctate, sparsely clothed with 

 long, fine, semierect hairs, with a spot of broader, white hairs at sides 

 of basal segments ; last segment broadly subtruncate at apex. Pro- 

 sternum finely, feebly rugose, rather densely clothed with short, broad, 

 recumbent, white hairs, which are denser at the sides, and with a few 

 long, erect, inconspicuous hairs intermixed ; prosternal process rather 

 narrow, slightly expanded posteriorly, and truncate at apex. Legs 

 robust, feebly rugose, sparsely clothed with short, stiff, semierect, 

 black and white hairs ; posterior pair long ; femora strongly, abruptly 

 clavate, petiolate at bases, middle and posterior pairs bispinose at 

 tips, and the posterior pair extending slightly beyond the tips of the 

 elytra; posterior tibiae long, and moderately expanded. 



Length, 7 mm. ; width, 2 mm. 



Tyfe locality. — Guantanamo, Cuba. 



Tyfe. — U.S.N.M. No. 43739. A unique example (sex not de- 

 termined), received from S. C. Bruner, and collected June 3, 1916, 

 by C. T. Ramsden. 



Remarks. — Described from the type. This species is allied to 

 pallidicornis Fisher, but it differs from that species in coloration, 

 in the different arrangement of the pubescent markings on the elytra, 

 and in having the pronotum densely clothed with recumbent, yellow- 

 ish-white pubescence. 



TILLOCLYTUS BRUNERI, new species 



Female. — Small, elongate, feebly shining, moderately convex 

 above, except the basal third of elytra, which is slightly depressed. 

 Above blue-black, each elytron with a narrow, transverse, whitish 

 pubescent fascia in front of middle, which does not extend to the 

 sutural margin; beneath dark reddish brown, with the tarsi paler; 

 antennae brownish yellow, with the basal joint dark brown.
