Holotype male (USNM 67328), aUotype female, and 8 paratypes

The exact relationships of tliis species are not known at this tnne 

 but the species may be recognized by the feeble calluses of the prono- 

 tum and the arrangement of the pubescent pattern. 



L. bredini is dedicated to J. Bruce Bredin, of Wilmington, Del., 

 sponsor of the Smithsonian-Bredin expeditions to the Caribbean. 



Urgleptes clarkei, new species 



Female: Form small, moderately depressed; integument dark to 

 pale reddish brown, appendages brownish testaceous and piceous; 

 pubescence short, recumbent, grayish with dark-brown mottling. 

 Head with front nearly square, convex, feebly impressed between 

 antennal tubercles, antennal tubercles slightly elevated, widely 

 divergent; narrow median groove extending from epistoma to occiput; 

 punctation minute, contiguous, scabrous; pubescence moderately 

 dense, appressed, not obscuring surface; eyes small, coarsely faceted, 

 deeply emarginate, separated above by much more than diameter of 

 antennal scape; antennae extendmg about six segments beyond body, 

 scape infuscated over apical half, remaining segments narrowly dark- 

 banded at apex, pubescence moderately dense, minute, appressed, 

 scape slightly shorter than thkd segment, fourth longer than third, 

 fifth subequal to scape. Pronotum over iK times as broad as long, 

 base narrower than apex; sides diverguig slightly to apices of acute 

 spmes near base, base stongly constricted behind the feebly obhquely, 

 outward extending spmes; base slightly impressed, apex not; disc 

 slightly convex, minutely, opaquely punctate except for row of coarse 

 punctures along basal margins; pubescence moderately dense, ap- 

 pressed, grayish with darker hairs on middle of disc which form dark 

 patches at sides of middle; pro- and mesosternal processes narrow, 

 about one-fourth the width of the coxae; scutellum broadly rounded, 

 moderately pubescent. Elytra less than twice as long as broad, wider 

 than the pronotum, sides parallel to about apical one-fourth, then 

 tapering to apex; surface feebly depressed at basal one-third, costae 

 lacking; punctures moderately coarse, contiguous over entire surface; 

 pubescence gray bromi, mottled with brown near base and irregular 

 dark spots at apical half, dark patches usually extending laterally 

 behind humeri and obliquely onto disc a little behind middle, two
