sometimes united lorif^itiidinally, transversely separated by twice their 

 widtli ; alutaceous. Elytra about one-twentieth wider than pronotum, 

 one-twentieth longer than wide, sides nearly parallel ; rather coarsely 

 and indefinitely but serially punctate; coriaceous. Abdomen not 

 alutaceous except feebly at apex ; rather coarsely submuricately punc- 

 tured. Anterior face of front tibia with setigerous punctures in 

 a short series. Length, 4I/2 to 5l^ mm. 



Type locality. — Southwestern Haiti, "northeastern foothills of the 

 Massif de la Hotte, 2,000^,000 feet." 



Types. — Holotype (M.C.Z. No. 20242) and three paratypes in the 

 Museum of Comparative Zoology; one paratype in the United States 

 National Museum (No. 51246). 



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



Cuba: Mountains north of Imias, Oiiente (Darlington, in M.C.Z. and U.S.N.M.). 



Hispaniola: Haiti, Mas.sif de la Hotte (Darlington, 1937; M.C.Z.; U.S.N.M.)., 

 Tardieu (Darlington, 1937), La Visits (Darlington, 1937), Kenskoff (Darling- 

 ton, 1937). 



Specimens examined. — ^I have seen only the one paratype in the 

 United States National Museum, one paratype and two other speci- 

 mens from the Museum of Comparative Zoology. 



Remarks'. — This species differs from schwarzi especially in the 

 denticulate clypeal angles and the single series of punctures on the 

 tibiae. 



No record has been made of its habits.

Description. — Black. Head eight-ninths as wide as pronotum; 

 clypeus broad, with angles forming rounded obtuse prominences and 

 margin between sinuate ; labrum short, alutaceous ; antennae slender ; 

 with moderately fine punctures throughout ; densely alutaceous ; with 

 a few tuberculi at sides of clypeus. Protwtum two-sevenths wider 

 than long, rather strongly narowed behind, base two-sevenths as wide 

 as apex, sides straight in front, posterior angles obtuse but slightly 

 prominent; lateral margin feebly widened posteriorly; with only a 

 trace of impressed midline; with moderately fine abrupt punctures 

 separated by three to five times their diameter, alutaceous, and with 

 an occasional punctiform depression. Elytra, scarcely wider than 

 pronotum, a little wider than long, rather broadly rounded at sides; 

 coarsely coriaceous, but with distinct punctiform depressions. Abdo- 

 men distinctly alutaceous only on apical segments; with a very few
