Trinidad: St. Au^istine (Withycombe, in British Museum; Darlington, in

Specimens examined. — I have seen 33 examples in the British Mu- 

 seum, 14 in the collection of Dr. Cameron, 2 in the American Museum 

 of Natural Historj^ 3 in the Museum of Comparative Zoology, 1 in 

 the United States National Museum, and 34 collected by me during 

 1935-37. 



Remarl's. — This species has stood under the name fulvipes in col- 

 lections, but that seems to be more properly applied to another, which 

 is distinguished by having the pronotum not opaque. This species 

 probably will be found on all the islands. 



My specimens were found under stones and sand along streams, 

 in dung, and flying at dusk. 



5. CARPELIMUS DARLINGTONI, new species 



Description. — Piceous, pronotum and elytra somewhat rufcscent, 

 abdomen castaneous. Uead with two feeble depressions between the 

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

 three-sevenths wider than long, not distinctly hexagonal because of 

 the curvature of the base and sides; lateral and anterior angles dis- 

 tinctly tuberculate, basal angles very prominent; disk with two dis- 

 tinct long longitudinal impressions and vague depressions laterally; 

 with very dense granular ground sculpture. Elytra with punctures 

 not very fine but very indistinct and mixed with irregular ground 

 sculpture. Length, 3^4 mm. 



Type locality. — Hispaniola, San Jose de las Matas, Dominican 

 Republic, elevation 1,000 to 2,000 feet. 



Types. — Holotype, Museum of Comparative Zoology, collected by 

 Dr. P. J. Darlington in June 1938. 



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



Hispaniola: Dominican Kepubuc, San Jos6 de las Matas (Darlington, in 

 M.C.Z.). 



Specimens examined. — I have seen only the holotype. 



Remarks. — This species differs from correctus in having the sides 

 of the pronotum tuberculate as well as in the coarser punctation of 

 the elytra. 



I have received no record of its habits.
