Megalopsidia rambouseki BiBaao, 1934e, p. 220, pi. 11, figs. 7, 8. 

 Megalopsidia bicrigi Rambousek MS., Bikrig, 1934e, p. 220. 



Description. — Black, variegated with transparent rufous on most of 

 the elevated parts, elytra with sutural region yellowish and with 

 large ivory-white spot at humeral callus, with same color on posterior 

 half of seventh and following abdominal segments. Head with eyes 

 only a little narrower than elytra; vertex with two semielliptical 

 tubercles, oblique and touching or confluent behind ; intervals sepa- 

 rately and coarsely punctate. Pronotuni subhexagonal, widest at 

 apical third; sides with blunt denticles and protuberances; of the 

 four bulky elevations, the two approximate anterior ones are clearly 

 hemispherical, the two basal, separated by a protuberance, more en- 

 larged, are obliquely oval, with exterior face subvertical, and almost 

 contiguous to the marginal postlateral protuberances; intervals feebly 

 punctate. Elytra a little wider than pronotum; with two oblique 

 postscutellar callosities, the suture simply elevated, flanked by a stria 

 and with a posterior prelateral callus, semicircular from the interior. 

 Length, 4 mm. (From Bierig.) 



Type locality. — Cuba. 



Types. — In collection of Alexander Bierig, 



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



Cuba: Rio Hondo (Bierig, 1934), Sierra Bonilla (Bierig, 1934), Sierra del Rosario 

 (Bierig, 1934). 



Speciinens examined. — I have seen no examples of this species. 



Remarks. — This species is known to me only from Sr. Bierig'g 

 description and figures. It seems to me ami)ly distinct from the 

 other West Indian species. It was placed by Bierig in the subgenus 

 Megalopsidia. 



It was recorded from fungus on tree trunks. 



Subfamily Steninae 



Two genera have been described in this subfamily but only one 

 is so far known from the West Indies. Like the preceding it is 

 readily recognized by its large and prominent eyes but differs in 

 having the integuments more densely punctate or rugose, in having 

 the ])ronotum not transversely sulcate, and in other characters given 

 in the diagnoses.
