Schubert, 1912). 

 Central America: Panama (Sharp, 1886; United States National Museum),

Specimens examined. — Beside a considerable number of specimens 

 from Panama, I have seen 12 examples from the West Indies in the 

 British Museum, 5 in the United States National INIuseum, and 69 

 collected by Chapin and Blackwelder in 1935-37. 



Remarks. — Even in a small series this species shows some variation 

 in details of sculpture. Although I believe the West Indian exam- 

 ples to be the same as the Panama ones (four of which were received 

 from the Biologia material), I do not have males from Panama to 

 compare with males from the islands. The above description was 

 drawn from a St. Lucia example. This species belongs in the sub- 

 genus Stilomedon s. str. 



We have collected it in rotting cocoa pods, flying at dusk, and 

 flying to light at night.

 bly emarginate behind, posterior angles very broadly rounded; eyes 

 small, at about twice their length from base ; labrum with median tooth 

 rather small, lateral teeth rather widely separated, moderately large 

 but stout; gular sutures narrowly separately but converging poste- 

 riorly ; surface with rather large and dense umbilicate punctures, the 

 intervals not much united in rows, flat, sometimes half as wide as 

 punctures; without ground sculpture on disk. Pronotum with sides 

 moderately converging posteriorly ; scarcely impressed on disk ; mid- 

 line feebly channeled posteriorly; punctures normal, mocleratel}^ 

 coarse, dense, more or less confluent, intervals somewhat rugose and 

 somewhat obscured by indefinite coarse ground sculpture. Elytra not 

 punctured ; with rounded tuberculi frequently separated by more than 

 their diameter, and in part obscured by coarse ground sculpture; with 

 three indistinct rows of larger setigerous punctures longitudinally on 

 each elytron. Ahdomen very finely, densely, and indistinctly punc- 

 tulate; pubescence moderately long. Male., seventh sternite unmodi- 

 fied; eighth very feebly triangularly emarginate. Female., sternites 

 unmodified. Length, 3 to 4 mm.
