r7/;?6,5.— Holotype, male, and 1 paratype, U.S.N.M. No. 52383. col- 

 lected by Harold Morrison on October 18, 1918; 1 paratype from 

 Aripo Savanna, H. Morrison, October 26, 1918; 10 paratypes in the 

 British Museum labeled "Trinidad B.W.I. 1903. C. E. Bryant." 



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



Trinidad: (Bryant, in British Museum), La Brea (Morrison, in U.S.N.M.), Aripo 

 (Morrison, in U.S.N.M.). 



Specimens examined. — I have seen 3 specimens in the United States 

 National Museum and 10 borrowed from the British Museum. 



Remarks. — This species is very similar to mor^isojii but differs by 

 its smaller size, less coarse and more irregular punctures of vertex, 

 and more definitely serial pronotal punctures, as well as the sculpture 

 of the eighth tergite. 



I have no record of its habits. 



13. STENUS DYERI, new species 



Description. — Piceous. Head rather distinctly biimpressed on 

 vertex between eyes; elevated at middle and smooth, shining; with 

 additional smooth areas at posterior angle of eye and behind anten- 

 nal ridge, but all areas rather small and indefinite; punctures mod- 

 erately coarse or less, irregularly spaced, intervals flat ; vague ground 

 sculpture near antennae; pubescence long and very evident. Pro- 

 notum one-third longer than wide, widest just behind middle; sides 

 arcuate in front, feebly emarginate behind; punctures rather coarse 

 but irregular in size and spacing, intervals nearly flat, not in series 

 along midline; without ground sculpture; pubescence moderate. 

 Elytra one-half wider than pronotum, one-thirteenth longer than 

 wide; humeral callus scarcely evident, with a feeble elevation be- 

 tween it and suture; punctation similar to that of pronotum but a 

 little coarser and sparser; with distinct but rather indefinite ground 

 sculpture; pubescence long and sparse. Abdomen not margined; 

 punctures abnipt and shallow, not dense at base and more sparse 

 apically, diameter less than half that of elytral punctures. 3/ ale. un- 

 known. Female, apical segments more densely punctate at middle; 

 eighth sternite slightly emarginate. Tarsus with fourth segment 

 bilobed. Length, 4% mm.
