of St. Vincent, Grenada, and the Grenadines. 23 



One male and two females. Closely allied to TJ. sulcata ; 

 but less robust, and also differing from it in the more 

 transverse thorax, flatter elytral interstices, and more 

 deeply grooved head. The male characters are similar. 

 The fifth ventral segment is also foveate in both sexes. 



JJloma grenadensis, n. sp. 



Elongate, parallel, very convex, rufo-ferruginous, shining. 

 Head very short, closely, finely punctate, transversely grooved in 

 front ; the antennaj short. Prothorax nearly one-half broader than 

 long, a little narrower in front than at the base, the sides rounded 

 anteriorly and slightly converging behind, the angles obtuse ; 

 sparsely, finely, unequally punctate, with a narrow space down 

 the middle impunctate, and with indications of a shallow trans- 

 verse groove before the base. Elytra narrowing from about the 

 middle, finely crenate-striate, the punctures closely placed, the 

 interstices flat on the disc, feebly convex towards the sides, and 

 sparsely, minutely punctate, the humeri a little swollen in front. 

 Fifth ventral segment deeply foveate in the middle before the 

 apex. 



$ . Anterior tibiaj widened on the inner side from about the 

 basal third, concave beneath, and with a dense fringe of short 

 fulvous hairs extending from a little beyond the middle to the 

 apex ; intermediate tibife bowed inwards from about the basal 

 third ; hind tibifc feebly triangularly dilated on the inner side a 

 little before the middle. 



Length 7-8i, breadth 3-3^ mm. (^.) 



Eah. Grenada — Black Forest Estate and Balthazar, 

 on the Windward side. 



Two males, one of which is considerably larger and 

 broader than the other. Differs from Z7. sulcata and U. 

 antiUarxnn in the much more finely crenate-striate elytra, 

 the punctures of the stria3 closely placed, the interstices 

 tiat on the disc; the punctuation of the thorax is dis- 

 tinctly coarser, and the hind tibice in the male are feebly 

 triangularly dilated on the inner side near the middle. 

 The thorax is more transverse than in JJ. sulcata. 



JJloma par vula, n. sp. 

 Moderately elongate, subparallel, convex, shining ; rufous or 

 ferruginous, the scutellum and elytra often fuscous or piceous, 

 the elytra sometimes piceous with the suture and shoulders
