dark reddish brown; antenna, except basal joint, and apical third 

 of each elytron, black. 



Head strongly transverse and nearly flat in front, with a narrow, 

 median, longitudinal groove, flat between the antennal tubercles, 

 which are widely separated and feebly elevated, the surface coarsely, 

 deeply, confluently punctate, and clothed with a few long, erect, in- 

 conspicuous hairs; eyes large, strongly convex, deeply emarginate, 

 and separated from each other on the top by four times the width of 

 the upper lobe. Antenna not quite so long as the body, basal joints 

 coarsely punctate, sparsely clothed with short, black pubescence, 

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

 joints more or less flattened, finely punctate, and densely clothed 

 with short, recumbent pubescence; joints 3 to 7 unispinose at apices; 

 first joint robust, cylindrical, feebly clavate toward apex, subequal 

 in length to the third joint, which is twice as long as the fourth; 

 eleventh joint subequal in length to the tenth. 



Pronotum distinctly wider than long, subequal in width at base 

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

 slightly constricted at base and apex; disk regularly, strongly con- 

 vex; surface coarsely, deeply alveolate-punctate, with a long, erect 

 hair arising from the center of each puncture. Scutellum triangular, 

 acutely rounded at apex, the surface longitudinally concave and 

 feebly pubescent. 



Elytra three times as long as pronotum, and at base distinctly 

 wider than pronotum at middle; sides parallel from base to apical 

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

 broadly truncate, and unarmed at lateral angle; disk moderately 

 convex ; surface coarsely, rather densely, deeply, uniformly punctate, 

 and sparsely, uniformly clothed with long, erect, inconspicuous hairs. 



Abdomen beneath feebly, sparsely punctate, sparsely clothed with 

 semierect hairs ; last segment broadly rounded at apex. Presternum 

 sparsely, feebly, irregularly punctate, clothed with a few erect hairs ; 

 prosternal process narrow between the coxal cavities, strongly de- 

 clivous 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 ex- 

 panded; tibiae long and subcylindrical. 



Length, 12 mm. ; width, 4.4 mm. 



Type locality. — Port au Prince, Haiti. 



r?//)e.— U.S.N.M. No. 43747. A unique female, collected in 1899 

 by R. J. Crew. 



Remarks. — Described from the type. 



This species resembles Heterops dimidiata Chevrolat, but it differs 

 from that species in having the femora clavate and unarmed at the 

 tips, and joints 3 to 7 of the antennae distinctly spinose at the tips.
