380 BULLETIX 182, UNITED STATES NATIONAL RIUSEUM 



minute punctulae; surface sliining. Pronotum longer than broad, 

 parallel; punctured and sculptured as head, more densely on disk; 

 with irregular impunctate midline. Elytra with rather strong punc- 

 tures usually separated by nearly their diameter by flat intervals; 

 without distinct ground sculpture. Ahdomen with rather fine and 

 shallow, sometimes submuricate, excavated jDunctures rather dense; 

 without distinct ground sculpture. Male^ eighth sternite with an 

 acute triangular emargination about as deep as wide, with the an- 

 gles broadly rounded, surroimded by a narrow gutter. Female^ un- 

 known. Length, 12 mm. 



Type locality. — Trinidad, St .Augustine. 



Types. — Holotype, male, in the Museum of Comparative Zoology, 

 collected in April 1929 by Dr. P. J. Darlington. 



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



Trinidad: St. Augustine (Darlington, in M.C.Z.). 



Specijnens examined. — I have seen only the unique tj'pe. 



Remarks. — This species is readily distinguished from all others in 

 our fauna by the parallel pronotum. It is the only species so far 

 known from Trinidad. 



I have received no record of its habits.

 more convex; without ground sculpture. Abdomen a little less
