4. INOPEPLUS STRIATULUS, new species 



Description. — Flavous, all but the elytra generally rufescent, outer 

 apical diagonal half of elytra cinnamomeous except for margins. 

 Head moderately coarsely punctate, the punctures frequently sepa- 

 rated by less than their diameter ; scaly ground sculpture obsolescent 

 posteriorly; with two indefinite areas of diagonal striations pos- 

 teriorly on vertex; midline impressed anteriorly and impunctate 

 though sculptured ; sides behind eyes strongly converging. Pronotum 

 nearly as wide as head behind eyes, two-fifths wider than long; base 

 less than one-half as wide as apex; sides interrupted twice by large 

 pocketlike folds of the margin, the anterior pair less visible from 

 above; punctures coarse but not deep, separated by one to two times 

 their diameter; smooth, without ground sculpture. Elytra at base 

 nearly as wide as pronotum; humeral angles very finely tuberculate; 

 over one-third wider at apical fourth; not distinctly punctate, but 

 with large and shallow but vague depressions (more punctiform pos- 

 teriorly) ; surface uneven but wilhout ground sculpture; extending for 

 about one-third their length beyond the metasternum. Abdomen 

 above very sparsely and irregularly finely punctate; with vague 

 ground sculpture. Length, 2% to 414 n^i^- 



Type locality. — Guadeloupe, Gourbeyre. 



Types. — Holotype and eight paratypes in the American Eluseum 

 of Natural History; two paratypes in the United States National 

 Museum (No. 52478). 



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



Giiadeloupe: Gourbeyre (A.M.N.H., Ace. No. 4860), 



Specimens examined. — I have seen only the 11 types. 



Remarks. — This species is distinguishable by its size and apparent 

 great breadth. It is marked somewhat similarly to assistans and 

 mutchler^. The elytra are always lighter than the other parts. 



I have no record of its capture. The specimens were purchased 

 frrm a French dealer in 191G.
