panded, then obliquely attenuate to the apex, which is rather acutely 

 rounded. 



Length, 10 mm. ; width, 3.5 mm. 



Type locality. — Guantanamo, Cuba. 



Type. — Coll. Amer. Mus. Nat. Hist. 



This beautiful species was described from a single example col- 

 lected by Chas. T. Ramsden at the type locality on June 18, 1916. 

 Supei'ficially it resembles one of the larger species of the genus 

 Agrilus^ but it is easily separated from any species of that genus by 

 having the lateral branches of the mesosternum elongate and not con- 

 cealed by the presternum.

 (No described species included.) 



Head flat or feebly convex, wider in front than on vertex; front 

 not narrowed by the insertion of the antennae; epistoma short and 

 emarginate in front ; antennal cavities small, rounded, partially cov- 

 ered by an elevated carina, and situated a considerable distance from 

 the inner margin of the eyes. Antennae rather long and slender, 

 and about as long as the head and pronotum united; first joint 

 elongate, and more or less clavate; second very short and globular; 

 third and fourth elongate, feebly triangular, subequal in length, 

 and about as long as the first; following joints elongate, triangular, 

 dentate on the inner side, gradually decreasing in length to the last 

 joint, and armed with a poriferous fovea situated on the inferior 

 side at apical margin of the joint. Eyes rather small, oval, not two 

 times as long as wide, strongly convex, somewhat projecting, and 

 closer to each other on the vertex than at the front. Pronotum 

 wider than long, narrower in front than behind; base and anterior 

 margin bisinuate; sides subsinuate or obliquely attenuate anteriorly. 

 Scutellum variable, rather small and often wider than long. Elytra 

 elongate, strongly attenuate posteriorly, and obliquely truncate, 

 emarginate or bidentate at apex. Sternal cavity formed by the 

 mesosternum and metasternum; mesosternum divided, the lateral 

 branches elongate and feebly oblique ; metasternum rounded in front 

 and feebly grooved at the middle. Prosternum wide, flat; anterior 

 margin straight, sometimes strongly declivous; prosternal process 

 not constricted by the anterior coxal cavities, but strongly acuminate 

 at the apex. Posterior coxae strongly dilated internally; anterior 

 margin straight; posterior margin oblique internally and strongly
