Remarks. — I have not been able to determine with certainty whether 

 this species has been previously described from South America. Lis- 

 pinus sohrimit'i Fauvel is the only species listed from Venezuela that 

 I have not seen, and niorugae seems to be distinct from it by having 

 the pronotum depressed on both sides of the midline, which is not 

 canaliculate. 



My specimens were taken from under bark of rotting logs of the 

 immortelle tree; one of the others is recorded as having been found 

 in a cave at 2,000 feet elevation. 



2. PSEUDOLISPINODES REVERSUS, new species 



Desciipt'wn. — Rufotestaceous, apical half of elytra piceous. Heax.i 

 narrowly truncate in front; longitudinal impressions moderate but 

 scarcely attaining the margin; punctures moderately fine, separated 

 by three to four times their diameter; sculpture fine but indistinctly 

 scaly. PronotAbiTh one-third wider than long; sides feebly rounded, 

 distinctly emarginate before postei-ior angles; lateral impressions fee- 

 ble but extending beyond middle ; disk with a punctate basal depression 

 on each side; midline not canaliculate; punctures coarse, separated by 

 little more than their diameters, much less in the depressions; sculp- 

 ture fine but longitudinal and only at edges feebly scaly. Elytron 

 with sutural stria feebly impressed, discal series represented only by 

 an irregularly double series of punctures; punctures irregular in size 

 and spacing, not excavated behind; sculpture distinct and scaly, espe- 

 cially ant<^riorly. Abdominal sternltes without diagonal carinae. 

 Length, 2% mm. 



Type localify. — Hispaniola, Constanza, Doniiiucjin Republic; eleva- 

 tion 3,000 to 4.000 feet. 



Types. — Ilolotype, Museum of Comparative Zoology, collected in 

 August 1938 by Dr. P. J. Darlington. 



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

 Hispaniola: Dominican Rkpublic, Constanza (Darlinj^ton, in M.C.Z.)- 



Specimens examined. — I have seen only the holotype. 



Remarks. — This specimen appears to differ sufficiently from irregu- 

 laris to be recognized as a species. The differences in each character 

 are slight but taken together seem, sufficient to establish it. 



I have received no record of its habits.
