of St. Vincent, Grenada, and the Grenadines. 5 



prominent sides of the front (in S. j-tavamensis the head 

 is trilobate in front), the more coarsely granulated eyes, 

 the coarser, sparser, and more uniform punctuation of the 

 thorax, the sides of which are more rounded, the more 

 coarsely seriate-punctate elytra, etc. (S. oculatus, Champ., 

 from the Isthmus of Panama, is also an allied form. 

 The genus has not previously been recorded from the 

 Antilles. 



Schcenicus anlillarum, n. sp. 

 Oblong oval, obscure reddish- or pitchy-brown, with a faint 

 aeneous lustre, shining, the legs and antennae rufo-ferrugiuous. 

 Head thickly, rather coarsely punctate, the epistoma rounded 

 anteriorly and prominent, the sides of the front obliquely con- 

 verging before the eyes, the latter very coarsely granulated, the 

 supra-orbital carina sharply defined. Prothorax convex, strongly 

 transverse, narrowing almost from the base, the sides very little 

 rounded, almost straight in one specimen ( $ ?), the hind angles 

 sharply rectangular, the anterior angles sharp and prominent, the 

 surface sparsely, somewhat coarsely punctate, a narrow ill-defined 

 space down the middle impunctate. Elytra moderately long, 

 wider than the prothorax, narrowing from about the middle ; 

 coarsely seriate-punctate, the interstices flat on the disc, feebly 

 convex towards the sides and apex, each with a single irregular 

 row of very fine punctures. Beneath very sparsely punctured ; 

 prosternum abruptly declivous behind ; mesosternum gradually 

 declivous in front. Length S^-O^^, breadth 3:^-3§ mm. 



Hah. St. Vincent — south end; Grenada — Windward 

 side; Union I. 



Four specimens, apparently including both sexes. 

 Very closely allied to S. hrunneus, from which it may be 

 separated by the more acute angles to the thorax, the 

 sides of which are straighter and the surface less coarsely 

 punctured, the elytral interstices more finely and not so 

 closely punctate. The general shape is more oval, the 

 insect in this respect resembling S. imnamensis.
