Coleo'ptera of Grenada and St. Vincent (IF. Indies). 513 



Hah. Grenada ; Trinidad ; BRxVzil, Marajo, etc. 



A single specimen was found by Mr. Smith in a marshy 

 place on Monnt Gay Estate, Grenada. It agrees with a 

 specimen in the British Museum from Trinidad and others 

 from Brazil bearing the unpublished name tenclrosus, 

 Reiche. The species is very near A. imhricatus, Melsh., 

 which has been recorded from Cuba by Harold under the 

 name of A. sordidus. A. tcnehrostcs, however, is a broader 

 insect, more finely and densely punctured on the head and 

 thorax, and without visible seta; upon the elytral costaj.

Valile cloiigatiis, iiigro-piccus, opacup, clypeo, protlioracis niargine 

 antica pedibusque rufis ; clypeo bidentato, dentibus minutis, capite 

 antice nitido, transversiin rugato, postice crebre punctate ; protliorace 

 minute, feve contiuenter, punctato, angulis omnino obliteratis, sulca 

 obsoleta media postice impresso ; elytris anguste carinalis, ubique 

 punctato-rugoso. 



Long. 3"3 mm. 



Hah. St, Vincent, Leeward side and South end. 



This was always found near the sea, beneath vegetable 

 dSris. It is a species closely allied to A. scaljytifrons, 

 Bates, and A. Stcinheili, Harold — especially the former. It 

 is more elongate, however, the posterior angles of the 

 thorax are completely obliterated, and the head is more 

 coarsely sculptured and shining. 



Atxnius ])olijgIyi)tus, Bates. 



A number of S23ecimens agreeing with the variety 

 jalapcnsis of Bates occurred both in St. Vincent and 

 Grenada. They were also found under rubbish, but 

 generally beside forest streams at an elevation of 250 — 

 1000 feet. 



Atxnius gracilis, Melsh, 



Several specimens were found at Balthazar and Mount 

 Gay Estate in Grenada, and one in St. Vincent. The 

 species occurs throughout the Western Hemisphere. 



Atienius, sp. 



A single specimen from Mustique Island of a species 

 near A. i^olycjlyiitus, but probably new.
