no trace of discal stria ; impunctate, except for a larjije but vagiie de- 

 pressed puncture on the disk ; sculpture very fine and feeble, but scaly, 

 Abdominal sternites without diagonal carinae. Length, 2 mm. 



Type locality. — Montserrat. 



Types.— Uo\otype, U. S. N. M. No. 52365, collected on March 19, 

 1894, by H. G. Hubbard. 



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



Montserrat: (Hubbard, in U.S.N.M.). 



Specimens examined. — I have seen only the unique type. 



Remarks. — This specimen seems to be distinct from P. nigrifronSy 

 which shows little variation in a considerable series. 



In the (unpublished) diary of H. G. Hubbard for 1894 I find a pas- 

 sage that apparently refers to this specimen: "Under bark of red 

 cedar ... an Eleusis ..."
