ART. 22 NEW CERAMBYCID BEETLES FISHER 65 



apex to basal sixth, where they are slightly constricted, then parallel 

 to the base; disk rather strongly convex, vaguely, transversely 

 depressed along basal sixth; surface vaguely, finely granulose, 

 feebl}', sparsely, irregularly punctate, and sparsely clothed with long, 

 erect, white hairs. Scutellum very small, broadly rounded at apex, 

 and glabrous. 



Elytra twice as long as pronotum, and at base subequal in width 

 to the pronotum at middle ; sides parallel from base to apical third, 

 then arcuately narrowed to the tips, which are separately, narrowly 

 subtruncate, or vaguely emarginate; disk slightly flattened above; 

 surface shining, vaguely rugose, and punctate on basal halves, 

 opaque, finely, densely punctate, with a few coarse punctures inter- 

 mixed on apical halves, and each elytron ornamented with white 

 pubescence as follows : A narrow, transverse fascia of dense, long, 

 recumbent pubescence in front of middle, the fascia extending from 

 lateral margin to sutural margin, in front of fascia are a few long, 

 erect hairs, and the apical fourth sparsely clothed with long and 

 short erect hairs. 



Abdomen beneath finely, vaguely punctate, and very sparsely, 

 irregularly clothed with short, recumbent, inconspicuous pubescence, 

 with a few long, erect, white hairs intermixed ; last segment broadly 

 subtruncate at apex. Prosternum smooth and nearly glabrous; 

 prosternal process very narrow between the coxal cavities, strongly 

 expanded posteriorly, and truncate at apex. Legs rather long, 

 sparsely clothed with long, erect, white hairs; femora petiolate at 

 bases, rather strongly clavate toward tips, the clubs of posterior 

 pair more elongate than those of the middle and anterior pairs; 

 tibiae long, subcylindrical. 



Length, 5 mm. ; width, 1.6 mm. 



Type locality. — Cardenas, Cuba. 



Type. — U.S.N.M. No. 43743. A unique male collected by William 

 M. Mann. 



Remarks. — Described from the type. 



This species resembles Tilloclytus nivicinctus Chevrolat very 

 closely, but it differs from that species in having the pronotum very 

 finely granulose, opaque, not abruptly constricted near base, basal 

 halves of elytra vaguely punctured, shining, the surface not white 

 under the transverse pubescent fascia, and by the male having the 

 third, fourth, and fifth antennal joints abnormally expanded. 



CALLICLYTUS, new genus 



Head small, with the front vertical and wider than long. Mandi- 

 bles very short, arcuate, and rather acute at apices. Ligula mem- 

 branous. Palpi 3-jointed, very short, equal in length, and the apical
