10 Mr, G. C. Champion on the Heteromerous Coleoptera 



the var. quadrinotata, Fleut, and Salle, also a variety with 

 the elytra immaculate. I have examined one of the types 

 of P. chevrolati, kindly communicated by M. Fleutiaux, 

 whose specimens were obtained at Pont Pierre, in the 

 Les Saintes Is. The insect is narrower and more shining 

 than P. dytiscoides, Champ., from the Atlantic and Pacific 

 coasts of Central America. Under seaweed (Smith). 



Phaleria falva. 



Phaleria fulva, Fleut. et Salle, Ann. Soc. Ent. Fr., 

 1889, p. 423. 



Var. The elytra with a common discoidal patch 

 fuscous or pitchy-black. 



Hah. Grenada — Windward side; Grenadines — Mus- 

 tique I. 



Five specimens of the typical form from Grenada, and 

 three of the variety from Mustique Island. The type, 

 from Grande Anse, in the Les Saintes Islands, has been 

 communicated by M. Fleutiaux for comparison ; it 

 appears to be somewhat immature. In our specimens 

 the last dorsal, and also the last ventral, segment of the 

 abdomen is infuscate or black. Under seaweed (Smith).
