prominent ; sides behind eyes a little eloni^ate but evenly rounded to 

 base; punctures dense and umbilicate but feeble and shallow, with 

 scaly sculpture on intervals and more generally in front; labrum 

 rounded at sides and in front on either side of a shallow emai'gination. 

 Pronotum one-eleventh longer than wide, over live-eighths as wide as 

 elytra, widest at anterior third, strongly narrowed in front to narrow 

 apex, moderately behind to rounded angles; sides finely tuberculate; 

 more strongly umbilicately punctate than head but with punctures 

 generally united in irregular longitudinal rows ; without ground sculp- 

 ture except vaguely on the intervals. Prosternur/i not at all longi- 

 tudinally carinate on disk. Elytra almost as wide as long, about two- 

 fifths longer than pronotum ; with punctures rather fine but depressed 

 so as to appear larger, surface vuieven. Ahd&men rather finely but 

 not densely punctate; with rather long pubescence. Eighth steimite 

 broadly and feebly lobed at apex. Length, 2 mm. 



Type locality. — Jamaica. 



Types. — IJolotype and one paratype, U.S.N.M. No. 52389, collected 

 by H. G. Hubbard. 



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



Jamaica: (Hubbard, in U.S.N.M.). 



Specimens exomiiuid. — I have seen only the two types. 



Remarks. — These specimens seem to be distinct from thoi'acicus 

 though rather similar to that species. Again I can find no evidence 

 of sex in the two specimens before me. 



I have no record of the habits of this species.
