8 Mr. G. C. Champion oil the Heteromerous Coleoptera 



and beneath very sparsely clothed with short, rather coarse, 

 yellowish-cinereous hairs, these being semi-erect and bristly on 

 the elytra and decumbent on the other parts of the body. Head 

 coarsely, closely punctate. Prothorax strongly transverse, rather 

 sharply margined, moderately rounded at the sides, widest a little 

 before the middle, slightly wider at the base than at the apex, 

 obliquely narrowed in front ; the anterior angles rather prominent, 

 the hind angles obtusely rectangular ; the surface thickly impressed 

 with coaree, round punctures, which are here and there separated 

 by irregular smooth spaces. Elytra about two and one-fourth 

 times the length of the prothorax, and a little wider than it, 

 rounded at the sides, with rows of very coai'se, deep, not very 

 closely placed, foveolar impressions ; the interspaces sparsely 

 punctate and sharply costate, the costse slightly shining at the top, 

 the third and seventh and the second and ninth confluent behind, 

 the second, fifth, and sixth scarcely reaching the base, the first (or 

 sutural) turning obliquely outwards before the base, leaving a 

 triangular depressed space behind the scutellum, and connected 

 with the fourth by the basal ridge ; the humeri moderately pro- 

 minent. Beneath thickly impressed with excessively coarse 

 punctures. 



$ . Anterior tarsi with joints 1-3 dilated ; anterior tibial 

 sinuous within. 



Length 5^-G, breadth 2^-2^ mm. (<??). 



Hah. St. Vincent — Windward side. 

 Seven examples. 



Ctesicles maritimus, n. sp. 



Very similar to C. insular is ; the elytra more opaque ; the pro- 

 thorax a little more rounded at the sides anteriorly, the anterior 

 angles less prominent ; the elytra more rounded at the sides and 

 with the humeri more obtuse, the disc transversely flattened or 

 depressed below the base, the seriate impressions not so coarse and 

 more numerous, the interstices strongly convex at the sides, feebly so 

 on the disc, the fourth more raised than the others towards the base. 



^ . Anterior tarsi with joint 1 feebly and 2 and 3 more broadly 

 dilated ; anterior tibiae sinuous within. 



Length 4|-6, breadth 2^-2§ mm. ( ^ 9 ). 



Hah. Grenada — Telescope and Lake Antoine Estates, 

 on the Windward side ; Grenadines — Mustique I. 



Fifteen specimens, all but two from Grenada.
