3. OCIITHEPHILUM DARLINGTONI, new species 



Desoriptian. — Testaceocastaneous, a little dark in front (probably 

 somewhat immature). Head somewhat expanded behind the eyes, 

 nearly circular; eyes very small, separated from base by nearly four 

 times their diameter, from apex by one and one-half times; basal 

 segment of antenna barely half as long as head, about as long as 

 distance between antennae; antennal grooves moderate; labrmn with 

 a narrow emargination between two blunt teeth ; neck half as broad 

 as head ; punctures moderate, not distinctly umbilicate though sloping 

 anteriorly and sculptured within, often separated by less than their 

 diameter, very sparse in front ; with very fine scaly ground sculp- 

 ture throughout. Pronotum with an impunctate median band not 

 outlined by regular series of punctures; punctures less coarse than 

 on head but more irregularly spaced; feebly depressed medially be- 

 fore base; with ground sculpture as on head. Elytra shorter than 

 pronotum, narrower than abdomen; with punctures irregularly unit- 

 ing, giving a subrugose appearance, the intervals ]iot flattened ; with- 

 out ground sculpture but with a somewhat coriaceous texture. Mal^j 

 unknown. Female^ sternites not modified. Length. 7 mm. 



Type locality. — Cuba, south side of Pico Turquino, elevation 3,000 

 to 6,000 feet. 



Types. — Holotype in the Museum of Comparative Zoology, col- 

 lected in June 1936 by Dr. P. J. Darlington. 



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



Cuba: Pico Turquino (Darlington, in M.C.Z.). 



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



Remarks. — This specimen differs so greatly from the description 

 of atlanticmn Bierig that I cannot believe that it is the same. The 

 eyes are small and placed well before the middle, the basiil segment 

 of the antenna is very much shorter, the punctures are not umbilicate, 

 and the length is greater. The small elytra with coriaceous texture 

 give it the appearance of a subterranean species. 



I have received no record of its habits.
