middle groove between the antennal fossae; before this groove shin- 

 ing smooth, behind it coarsely and moderately densely punctate; 

 outer segments of antennae transverse. Pronotv/tn much narrower 

 than elytra; posteriorly narrowed, heart-shaped; on each side of 

 smooth shining midline with a longitudinal depression; at the sides 

 moderately finely and densely punctate. Elytra much longer than 

 pronotum, somewhat longer than Avide, very finely and sparsely, 

 obsoletely punctate. Abdomen entirely impunctate, shining. Length, 

 214 nim. (From Bernhauer.) 



Type locality. — "Ins, St. Vincent, Grenada (Grand Etang) leg. 

 H. H. Smith." 



Types. — Presumably in the British Museum, though I did not see 

 them. 



Records. — The following are the records known to me: 



St. Vincent: (Bernhauer, 1905; Leng and Mutchler, 1914). 

 Grenada: (Bernhauer, 1905; Leug and Mutchler, 1914). 



Specirnens examined. — I have seen no examples of this species. 



Remarks. — Bernhauer remarks that this species is readily dis- 

 tinguishable from P. Mlar^is Sharp by its different color and much 

 longer elytra. 



I find no record of its habits. 



2. PAROSUS ANTILLARUM Wendeler 



Parosus antillarum Wendeler, 1928b, p. 33. — Scheerpeltz, 1933, p. 1090. 



Description. — Similar to P. skalitzkyi Bernhauer but distinguished 

 by the following: Outer segments of antennae not wider than long, 

 but darker. Punctation of pronotum sometimes very dense at the 

 sides in front of the basal angles, almost rugose, and as strong as 

 that on the head. Elytra half as strongly but just as densely punc- 

 tate as pronotum, with very fine pubescence. Abdomen feebly shin- 

 ing, very distinctly muricately and sparsely punctate. Length, 2l^ 

 mm. (From Wendeler.) 



Type locality. — Guadeloupe, Trois Rivieres. 



Types. — One example in collection of Hans Wendeler, Berlin- 

 Karow, from the Dufau collection through H. Georg Bottcher. 



Records. — The following is the only record known to me: 

 Guadeloupe: Basse Terra (Wendeler, 1928). 



/Specimens examined. — I have seen no example of this species. 



Reinarhs. — This species is very similar to P. skalitzkyi and is based 

 on a single specimen. Future collecting must be relied upon to de- 

 termine the distinctness or identity of the two species. 



I find no record of its habits.
