494 BULLETIN 182, UNITED STATES NATIONAL MUSEUM 



Elytra somewhat shorter than pronotiim; finely and sparsely punc- 

 tate. Abdomen very finely and sparsely punctate. Length, 2^/^ mm. 



Type locality. — St. Thomas. 



Types. — Presumably in the collection of Max Bernhauer. 



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



St. Thomas: (Bernhauer, 1904). 



Specimens examined. — I have seen no examples of this species. 



ReTnarJx's. — This species seems to be distinct from parumpunctatus 

 by its small size, its coloration, the shape of the head and antennae, 

 and the number of punctures in the dorsal pronotal series. 



Bernhauer gives no indication whether the St. Thomas cited here 

 is the West Indian or the West African one, but in another similar 

 case {Osorius eggersi) the name has been accepted into our lists 

 without question. 



I find no other record of the habits of this species.
