and lateral margins, and a rather broad, irregular, transverse fascia 

 at middle, connected laterally to a fascia extending forward to 

 lateral margin at basal fourth. 



Beneath feebh^ granulose, rather sparsely clothed with inconspicu- 

 ous, whitish pubescence, the legs feebly variegated with white and 

 brown pubescence; femora strongly pedunculate; prosternal process 

 one-third as wide as coxal cavity. 



Length, 3 mm; width, 1.25 mm. 



Type locality. — Mandeville, Jamaica. 



Type.— U.S.N.M. no. 50981. 



Remarks. — Described from a unique specimen from the Wickham 

 collection, collected April 1-4, 1906, by E. P. Van Duzee. 



This species is allied to pygmaeus Fisher, but it differs from that 

 species in being broader and more strongly flattened above, and in 

 having the pronotum broader, and the elytra ornamented at the 

 middle with a transverse, brown, pubescent fascia. 



CYRTINUS ACUNAI, new species 



Very small, elongate, rather robust, strongly shining; head and 

 pronotum greenish black, the former slightly aeneous in front; 

 antennae black or dark reddish brown; elytra blackish blue, each 

 with a large brownish yellow spot along lateral margin in front 

 of middle, and a narrow, oblique fascia of the same color near 

 apex; beneath dark reddish brown, except the prosternum, metaster- 

 num, mesosternum, and bases of femora, which are brownish 

 yellow. 



Head with the front strongl}?- transverse, feebly convex, flat be- 

 tween the antennal tubercles, which are widely separated and 

 scarcely elevated, with a vague, longitudinal groove extending from 

 epistoma to occiput; surface densely, finely granulose, sparsely, 

 feebly, finely punctate, sparsely clothed with long, flying, whitish 

 hairs; eyes small, coarsely granulated, distinctly divided, separated 

 from each other on the top by five times the width of the upper 

 lobe, which is considerably smaller than the lower lobe. Antenna 

 ll-jointecl, about one-fourth longer than body, rather densely 

 clothed with long, recumbent and erect, whitish hairs; first joint 

 long, extending nearly to base of pronotum, gradually expanded 

 toward apex, twice as long as third joint, which is slightly longer 

 than the fourth, the following joints gradually decreasing in length. 



Pronotum slightly longer than wide, distinctly narrower at base 

 than at apex, widest near apex; sides feebly sinuate and expanded 

 anteriorly, strongly constricted at basal fourth, then parallel to 

 base; disk strongly convex anteriorly, narrowh', transversely flat- 

 tened along base, with a narrow, transverse groove at basal fourth ;
