WEST INDIAN CERAMBYCIDAE — CHEMSAK 219 



small spots near suture giving the overall effect of a dark, broken, 

 irregular band, dark patches also irregularly placed behind the broken 

 band; apices obliquely emarginate truncate. Legs with hind femora 

 moderately clavate, irregularly infuscated over club, tibiae irregularly 

 infuscated. Abdomen moderately pubescent; apex of last sternite 

 narrowly rotundate truncate. Length 3.5-4 mm. 



Holotype female (USNM 67329) and five female paratypes from 

 Little Bay, Peter Isl., B.V.I., Mar. 30, 1958 (J. F. G. Clarke); two 

 additional females not designated as paratypical from English Harbor, 

 Antigua, B.W.I., Apr. 20, 1958 and Apr. 2, 1956. 



This species varies in the amount of dark patches present on the 

 elytra and in the infuscation of the pronotum and appendages. The 

 dark patches are restricted to the apical half of the elytra when viewed 

 from above. 



Also tentatively assigned to L. clarkei is one female from Sopers 

 Hole, Tortola, B.V.I., Apr. 5, 1958. This latter specimen is clothed 

 with paler pubescence and the elytral apices are truncate. It may 

 represent a distmct species but the lack of definitive series makes such 

 an assignment unpractical at this time. 



U. clarkei is dedicated to J. F. G. Clarke, who made available for 

 study the material reported in this paper. 



Urgleptes species 



One female from Antrim, 1000', Dominica, B.W.I. , Mar. 15, 1956, 

 probably represents a new species, but I choose not to describe it at 

 this time on the basis of a unique. This small (5.5 mm.) pretty 

 specimen is rather pale with the elytra and appendages being dom- 

 inantly testaceous. The head and pronotal disc are a pale reddish 

 brown. The elytra are u'regularly mottled by elongate patches of 

 dark pubescence, the vague costae are clothed with very pale brown 

 pubescence. The legs are almost all very pale with small dark spots 

 on the club of the femora and the tibiae are apically infuscated.
