530 BULLETIN 182, UNITED STATES NATIONAL MUSEUM 



punctures but with distinct minute punctulae ; without ground sculp- 

 ture. Pronotum about one-fourth wider than long, widest near basal 

 third, basal angles obtuse but distinct; with a pair of discal punc- 

 tures at apical third and another pair at basal fifth; with fairly 

 coarse punctulae and irregular transverse aciculations or scratches; 

 without ground sculpture. Elytra with fairly coarse shallow punc- 

 tures, excavated behind, in eight longitudinal series, somewhat im- 

 pressed and not clearly defined at sides of disk; without ground 

 sculpture. Abdotnen with fine submuricate punctures rather dense; 

 without distinct ground sculpture except on apical segments. 

 Length, 4 mm. 



Type locality. — Cuba, mountains north of Imias, eastern Oriente 

 province ; elevation 3,000 to 4,000 feet. 



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

 lected on July 25-28, 1936, by Dr. P. J. Darlington. 



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



Cuba: Imias in Oi'iente (Darlington, in M.C.Z.). 



Specimens examined. — ^I have seen only the holotype. 



Remarks. — This species is very distinct because of the scratches on 

 the pronotum. It also is unusual in having the rows of elytral 

 punctures somewhat impressed. 



I have received no record of its habits.

 out ground sculpture. Pronotum about one-eighth broader than 

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

 pair of discal punctures at apical fourth and another pair at base; 

 with minute punctulae but no ground sculpture. Elytra with punc- 

 tures indistinct except in sutural series and in an area at outer apical 

 third and toward humerus, where they are coarse but sparse ; without 

 ground sculpture. Abdomen with moderate punctures broadly exca- 

 vated behind and somewhat obscuring each other; without gi'ound 

 sculpture. Length, 2i/^ to 3 mm.
