HARUSPEX INSULARIS, new species 



Elongate, slightly flattened above, subopaque; antennae, and head 

 in front, pale reddish brown; posterior part of head and pronotum 

 dark reddish brown, the latter wdth the anterior margin and a small 

 spot in front of scutellum paler ; elytra brownish yellow, ornamented 

 with dark reddish brown vittae and fasciae; beneath yellowish or 

 reddish brown, with the prosternum, mesosternum, and metasternum 

 slightly darker. 



Head with the front wider than long, flat between the antennal 

 tubercles, which are scarcely elevated; surface coarsely, confluently 

 punctate, more or less rugose; eyes feebly emarginate. Antenna 

 slender, coarsely punctate, sparsely ciliate beneath, with joints 3 to 

 10 longitudinally sulcate and carinate; first joint robust, slightly 

 shorter than the third joint, the following joints subequal in length. 



Pronotum slightly wider than long, subequal in width at base and 

 apex, widest at middle ; sides strongly, arcuately rounded, distinctly 

 constricted at base; disk slightly uneven, moderately convex, nar- 

 rowly, transversely flattened along base, with a triangular depres- 

 sion in front of scutellum; surface coarsely, densely, rugosely punc- 

 tate. Scutellum as wide as long, broadly rounded at apex. 



Elytra three and one-half times as long as pronotum, at base 

 slightly wider than pronotum at middle; sides nearly parallel from 

 base to near the tips, which are separately feebly emarginate or sub- 

 truncate; surface coarsel}^, densely, irregularly punctate, sparsely, 

 uniformly clothed with short, stitf, erect, yellow hairs; each elytron 

 with a vague, longitudinal costa on disk, and ornamented with red- 

 dish brown markings as follows : A narrow, transversely oblique 

 fascia just behind the middle, connected to a narrow vitta extend- 

 ing forward along the sutural margin to the scutellum, and a similar 

 fascia near the apex, the two fasciae connected externally to a nar- 

 row vitta extending along the lateral declivity from the humerus to 

 the apical fascia. 



Abdomen beneath feebly granulose, vaguely punctate, sparsely 

 clothed with inconspicuous, recumbent hairs; last segment broadly 

 rounded at apex. 



Length, 7.75 mm; width, 2 mm. 



Type locality. — Barbados, British West Indies.

Remarks. — Described from a single specimen collected during Oc- 

 tober 1902 by Miss Field (Wickham collection). 



This species is allied to inscriptus Gahan, but it differs from the 

 description given for that species in the different arrangement of the 

 reddish-brown markings on the elytra.
