6 Mr. G. C. Champion on the Heteromerous Coleoptera 



ginous, the two or three basal joints of the antennae, and the legs, 

 testaceous ; the elytra with a strongly angulated oblique fascia 

 extending from the shoulder to the middle of the disc, an angu- 

 lated transverse post-median fascia, widening outwards, the two 

 connected at the sides, an elongate-triangular patch on the disc at 

 the apex, excised in front and extending to the suture behind, and 

 one or two oblong spots on the disc, flavous or testaceous ; the 

 under surface piceous. Head thickly, minutely punctate; antennaa 

 about reaching the hind angles of the prothorax. Prothorax 

 strongly transverse, gradually narrowing from the base, the sides 

 rounded in front, sparsely, minutely punctate. Elytra forming a 

 continuous outline with the prothorax, obsoletely and very 

 minutely seriate-punctate to about the middle, the interstices 

 flat, sparsely, exceedingly minutely punctate. Beneath very finely 

 pubescent, sparsely, minutely punctate. Legs very slender. Length 

 3-3^, breadth l|-lf mm. (<J ? ).

Sent in plenty by Mr. H. H. Smith. Allied to 

 C maculahis, Champ., from Central America, but 

 differing from it in the more intricate elytral markings. 

 These latter vary a little in extent ; the two fascite are 

 sometimes connected near the suture by a narrow longi- 

 tudinal line, which extends downwards to the triangular 

 apical mark. In one specimen the suture is brown. 

 The antenna3 usually have the two basal joints only testa- 

 ceous. The seriate punctures on the elytra are scarcely 

 distinguishable. The genus has not previously been 

 recorded from the Antilles. Under rubbish on sandy 

 sea-coasts (Smith).
