posterior angles right, only blunted at the extreme apex: pnnctation 

 close, rugulose, umbilicate. Pronoiurm scarcely longer than broad, 

 widest at anterior angles which are obtuse, gradually narrowed behind 

 to rounded posterior angles, more abruptly in front ; with a very fine 

 shining median carinula at base but without trace of basal foveae; 

 punctation as on head. Elytra with punctures close and rugulose, 

 rather finer than that of pronotum, especially behind. Abdomen 

 closely and finely punctured. Piihe^cence long and yello^Y throughout. 

 Male^ unknown. Femdle^ without special modificatif)ns. I^'ngth, 3 

 mm. (From Cameron.) 



Type locality. — Grenada, Black Forest Estate, Windward side. 



Types. — Unique female in the British Museum. 



Record)i. — The following are the records known to me: 



St. Vincent: (Camoron. 1013; Leng aiid Muichler, 1017; (\'iinor(in o(tl|ortinn; 



Schoeipollz, 1933). 

 Grenada: (Cameron, 1913; I-eug and Mutchler, 1917; British Museum). 



iSpecinien.'i examined. — I ha^•e seen only the type in the British 

 Museum and one example in Dr. Cameron's collection. 



Remarks. — My examination of the type confirms the relative dimen- 

 sions given by Dr. Cameron. One specimen from each island is all 

 that are now known of this species. The shape and sculpture of the 

 head indicate that it belongs in the subgenus Scopaeus s. str. 



I find no record of its habits.
