68 BULLETIN 18 2, UNITED STATES NATIONAL MUSEUM 



Specimens examined. — I have examined 78 examples (including the 

 type) in the British Museum, 5 in the United States National Museum, 

 and 5 from the Museum of Comparative Zoology. 



Remarks. — This species may be distinguished by its complete basal 

 pronotal depression and the punctation of the pronotum and elytra. 



Although it is impossible for me to be certain, it seems highly prob- 

 able that the Bernhauer and the Cameron Grenada species are identi- 

 cal, being from the same lot. If the holotype be one of the South 

 American specimens, then our species may be different and would be 

 called smithianus Scheerpeltz. 



Specimens of this species were sent by Sr. Bierig under the name 

 croceipes. They are certainly not the croceipes of Fauvel, and I am 

 unable to distinguish them from smithi of Cameron or the examples 

 from Haiti and Trinidad. 



I find no record of the habits of this species. 



9. CARPELIMUS WEBERI, new species 



Description. — Piceous, pronotum and base of elytra rufescent, ab- 

 domen castaneous. Head with two moderate depressions between the 

 antennal ridges ; eyes at about half their length from base. Pronotum, 

 one-third wider than long; anterior angles rounded; disk with a 

 strong arcuate transverse basal depression, the two very short longi- 

 tudinal depressions uniting with each other but separated from the 

 basal one; punctures moderately fine and dense and somewhat ob- 

 scured by indefinite ground sculpture. Elytra much more coarsely 

 punctate than pronotum, and with traces of ground sculpture. 

 Length, 2 mm. 



Type locality. — Trinidad, base of Galeota Point. 



Types. — Holotype., Museum of Comparative Zoology, and one para- 

 type. United States National Museum No. 52482, collected by N. A. 

 Weber, in September (type) and March 1935, 



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



Trinidad: Galeota Point (Weber, in M.C.Z.), Maracas Falls (Weber, in U.S.N.M.). 



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

 Remarks. — This species is very similar to smithi except for the 

 sculpture of the pronotum. 



I have received no record of its habits. 



10. CARPELIMUS HISPANIOLUS, new species 



Description. — Piceous. Head with two moderate depressions be- 

 tween the antennal ridges; eyes separated from base by about one- 

 third their length. Pronotum one-fourth wider than long; sides and 

 angles not tuberculate; sides distinctly emarginate in posterior half; 

 disk with a large arcuate transverse basal depression and vague traces
