2. BRYOPORUS SIMILIS, new species 



Description. — Piceous, abdominal segments rufescent behind. Head 

 suborbicular, deflected; without distinct punctures on the disk but 

 with irregular scattered punctulae; without ground sculpture. Pro- 

 notum about one-fifth wider than long, widest at basal third; basal 

 angles obtuse but distinct ; strongly convex ; with a pair of moderate 

 discal punctures at apical fourth (and possibly another behind mid- 

 dle) ; with strong but irregular punctulae but no ground sculpture. 

 Elytra with moderately large but very shallow punctures excavated 

 behind and in eight longitudinal series; the sixth and seventh and 

 apex of fifth confused; without ground sculpture. Ahdom^M with 

 rather fine and not dense submuricate punctures; without Irace of 

 ground sculpture. Length, 4i/^ mm. 



Type locality. — Trinidad, base of Galeota Point. 



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

 on September 20, 1935, by N. A. Weber. 



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

 Trinidad: Galeota Point (Webor, in M.C.Z.). 



Specimens examined. — I have seen only the holotype. 



Remarks. — This species is very similar to regulus but has the elytral 

 series more confused, the discal pronotal pair more anterior, and the 

 pronotum proportionately less wide. 



I have received no record of its habits. 



3. BRYOPORUS BICOLOR, new species 



Description. — Head and pronotum rufous, elytra rufopiceous, ab- 

 domen rufocastaneous. Head oval, the eyes much shorter than their 

 distance from base ; without discal punctures but with irregular punc- 

 tulae ; without ground sculpture. Pronotnm, one-seventh broader than 

 long, widest at basal third; basal angles narrowly rounded; with a 

 pair of discal punctures near apical third and another pair near basal 

 fourth; with punctulae more distinct and regular than on head: with- 

 out distinct ground sculpture. Elytra with large but shallow and 

 posteriorly excavated punctures, the longitudinal series scarcely trace- 

 able except at suture and sides, the punctures usually separated by 

 their diameter or less; without ground sculpture. Ahdomen with 

 punctures similar to those of elytra but much finer, submuricate ; with- 

 oTit distinct ground scul]")ture. Length, 41,4 to 5 mm. 



Type locality. — Dominican Republic: cloudforest in the vicinity of 

 Valle Nuevo ; elevation about 6,000 feet. 



Types. — Holotype and two ]iaratypes in the Museum of Comparative 

 Zoology; two paratypes in the United States National Museum (No. 

 52544) ; collected in August 1938 by Dr. P. J. Darlington.
