ART. 22 jS^EW CERAMBYCID BEETLES FISHER 79 



erect hairs intermixed; last segment broadly subtruncate at apex. 

 Prosternum arcuately declivous in front and behind, rather broad 

 and longitudinally concave between the coxal cavities. Legs short, 

 densely clothed with long, recumbent and erect, whitish pubescence ; 

 femora strongly clavate toward tips; tibiae slender, straight, and 

 subcylindrical. 



Length, 8 mm. ; width, 3.6 mm. 



Type locality. — Hinche, Haiti. 



Type.— U.S. N.M. No. 43752. A unique male collected May 17, 

 1925, by W. A. Hoffmann. 



Remarks. — Described from the type. 



This species is allied to hirtipes Gahan and insularis Fisher. 

 From the former it differs in not having any asperities on the 

 pronotum, and from insularis in having only one tuft of erect hairs 

 on each elytron near the base. 



ECYRUS NANUS, new species 



Female. — Rather short, robust, strongly convex above, uniformly 

 reddish brown, densely clothed with whitish, brownish, and yellow- 

 ish pubescence, which nearly conceals the surface, and each elytron 

 ornamented with a rather inconspicuous tuft of erect hairs near the 

 base. 



Head in front about as wide as long, slightly wider at bottom than 

 at top, flat, strongly, angularly depressed between the antennal 

 tubercles, which are narrowly separated and strongly elevated, 

 sparsely, coarsely punctate, sparsely clothed with short, recumbent, 

 yellowish-white pubescence, and with a longitudinal carina extending 

 from occiput to middle of front; eyes coarsely granulated, deeply 

 emarginate, and nearly contiguous on the top. Antenna about as 

 long as the body, uniformly pale reddish brown, sparsely clothed 

 with short, recumbent, whitish pubescence, except the first joint, which 

 is mottled with brown pubescence, and all the joints densely ciliate 

 beneath; first joint robust, short, reversed cone-shaped, one-half as 

 long as the fourth joint, which is distinctly longer than the third; 

 fifth joint subequal in length to the first joint, the following joints 

 shorter, and gradually diminishing in length. 



Pronotum as wide as long, and subequal in width at base and apex ; 

 sides parallel, and rather strongly sinuate ; disk uneven, transversely 

 flattened along base and apex, feebly, transversely grooved at basal 

 fourth, and armed with two obtuse tubercles, placed transversely at 

 middle ; surface with numerous small, black asperities, rather densely, 

 irregularly clothed with whitish and brownish-yellow pubescence, 

 the pubescence with a vague greenish tinge in certain lights. 



* Scutellum transversely subtriangular, broadly subtruncate at apex, 



t and vaguely concave at base.
