MONOGRAPH OF WEST INDIAN STAPHYLIXIDAE 465 



1. HETEROTHOPS RAMBOUSEKI, new species 



Eetcrothops liliputanus Rambousek, MS. 



Description. — Head and tip of abdomen piceous, rest testaceous or 

 rnfescent. Head elongate, widest posteriorly; eyes at nearly three 

 times their length from base ; not punctate except at the sides ; with 

 very indistinct ground sculpture. Pronotmn scarcely wider than 

 long, broadly rounded behind, somewhat arcuately narrowed in front; 

 with a single pair of discal punctures just before middle ; with ground 

 sculpture as on head. Elytra with rather fine submuricate punctures 

 separated b}^ two or three times their diameter; with rather distinct 

 transverse strigulose ground sculpture. Abdo7nen with punctation 

 finer than on elytra and denser posteriorly; ground sculpture in- 

 distinct. Length, I14 to 2 mm. 



Type locality. — Cuba, district of Jamaica, province of Habana. 



Types. — Holotype in collection of Dr. Cameron, collected on Oc- 

 tober 5, 1928, by Dr. Eambousek; and two paratypes in United States 

 National Museum (No. 52476). (The type was labeled paratype 

 of H. liliputanus by Dr. Rambousek, in whose collection there are 

 undoubtedly additional examples.) 



Records. — The following are the records known to me: 



Cuba: Habana (Rambousek, in Cameron and Rambousek collections), Cayamas 



(Schwarz, in U.S.N.M.). 

 Jamaica: Bath in St. Thomas (Blackwelder station 387A). 



Specimens examined. — I have seen only three specimens of which 

 the two in the United States National Museum are in very poor 

 condition. The example in the Cameron collection was borrowed 

 for study and is herein designated as the holotype. 



Remarks. — This species is readily recognized by the size of the 

 eyes, as well as by the length of the body which is distinctly less 

 than that of ocularis. 



My specimen was taken from fungus (a species of Hydnum). 



2. HETEROTHOPS OCULARIS, new species 



Description. — Head and pronotum piceous, elytra and abdomen 

 castaneous (sometimes picescent). Head suborbicular, as broad as 

 long; eyes very large, occupying more than half the length; with 

 marginal punctures only; with vague traces of ground sculpture. 

 Pronotum one-seventh wider than long, broadly rounded behind, some- 

 what arcuately narrowed in front; with a single pair of discal punc- 

 tui-es at apical third; with traces of ground sculpture as on head. 

 Elytra with fine submuricate punctures separated by one to two times 

 their diameter; without distinct ground sculpture. Abdomen with 

 punctures as on elytra but more distinctly muricate; at most with
