80 BULLETIN 18 2, UNITED STATES NATIONAL MUSEUM 



Specimens examined. — I have seen only the type and one example 

 from Cuba labeled T. hatuey Bierig in the United States National 

 Museum. 



Remarks. — This species is rather distinct according to the char- 

 acters employed in the key. The Cuban example, which is a "co- 

 type" of hatuey., is identical with the type except for the presence 

 of an indistinct testaceous spot on one elytron. 



The type was caught flying to light at night. 



27. CARPELIMUS TUNAPUNAE, new species 



Description. — Black, the pronotum rufescent, the elytra piceoruf ous 

 with the apical third indefinitely testaceous. Head with scarcely a 

 trace of depressions between the antennal ridges; eyes separated 

 from base by one-fourth their length, constriction abrupt but feeble. 

 Pronotum one-fourth wider than long, the angles rounded; disk 

 without trace of longitudinal depressions or basal foveae; sculpture 

 very fine and very dense, granular, surface opaque. Elytra with 

 moderate punctures obscured by irregular intervals and traces of 

 ground sculpture which is more evident basally. Length, ly^ to 

 1% mm. 



Type locality. — Trinidad, foothills north of Tunapuna. 



Types. — Holotype and two paratypes in the Museum of Compara- 

 tive Zoology; two paratypes in the United States National Museum 

 (No. 52482) ; collected on May 25, 1935, by Dr. N. A. Weber. One 

 paratype collected 12 miles north of Arima. 



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



Trinidad: Tunapuna (Weber, in M.C.Z. and U.S.N.M.), Arima (Weber, in 

 M.C.Z.). 



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



Remarks. — This species is similar to haplomus in most characters. 

 It differs in the shape of the head behind the eyes and in the 

 coloration. 



I have received no record of its habits. 



28. CAKPELIMUS DISCIPENNIS (Bierigr) 



Trogophloeus discipennis Biekiq, 1935a, p. 16, fig. 7. 



Description. — Black, elytra striped with testaceous from humerus 

 to apex and along apical margin. Head with two very feeble depres- 

 sions between the antennal ridges; separated from base by about 

 their length or a little more. Pronotum one-fourth wider than long, 

 angles rounded; disk without distinct depressions; very densely 

 gTanulosely sculptured and opaque. Elytra with punctures scarcely 

 evident because of the irregularity of the intervals; with some 

 ground sculpture especially near base. Length, 1^2 to 1% mm.
