robust, slightly clavate toward apex, five-eighths as long as the third 

 joint, which is twice as long as the fourth; eleventh joint subequal in 

 length to the tenth. 



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

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

 slightly more obliquely narrowed posteriorly; disk moderately, 

 regularly convex ; ' surface glabrous, very coarsely, deeply, conflu- 

 ently punctate. Scutellum triangular, rather acutely rounded at 

 apex ; surface glabrous and longitudinally concave. 



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

 distinctly wider than pronotum at middle; sides parallel from base 

 to near the tips, which are separately, broadly subtruncate, with a 

 distinct, acute tooth at lateral angle ; disk moderately flattened above ; 

 surface densely, deeply, uniformly punctate, the punctures coarse in 

 basal regions, but becoming slightly finer toward apices, rather 

 densely clothed with long, semierect, inconspicuous pubescence, which 

 is denser and more conspicuous on the longitudinal pale vittae. 



Abdomen beneath coarsely, vaguely punctate, sparsely clothed 

 with short, recumbent, white pubescence, with a few long, erect hairs 

 intermixed, the pubescence denser toward the sides and along the 

 apical margins of the segments; last visible segment broadly sub- 

 truncate or vaguely emarginate at apex. Prosternum sparsely, 

 coarsely, feebly punctate, and nearly glabrous; prosternal process 

 narrow between the coxal cavities, strongly declivous and expanded 

 posteriorly, and truncate at apex. Legs long, sparsely clothed with 

 semierect hairs ; anterior and middle femora rather strongly clavate 

 toward apices, posterior pair feebly expanded; tibiae long and 

 subcj^lindrical. 



Length, 9.5 mm.; width, 3 mm. 



Type locality. — Las Animas, Sierra Rangel, Cuba. 



Type. — U.S.N.M. No. 43746. A unique example (sex not deter-

 Agronomica, Cuba, No. 9445." 



Remarks. — Described from the type. 



This species is allied to lineolatus White, but it differs from that 

 species in having the head yellow in front and black on the top, 

 pronotum densely punctured, and the legs not entirely black. 



TRICHROUS BICOLOR. new species 



Fondle. — Broadly elongate, subopaque, moderately flattened above.
