Hab. Grenada — •Woodford Estate, on tlie Leeward 

 side. 



A single male specimen, agreeing with one from Cuba 

 in Mr. F. Bates's collection. It has a short sharp tooth 

 on the inner side of each of the tibiae a little beyond 

 the middle. Scrubby hill-sides, on herbage (Smith).

Hah. Grenada — Mount Gay Estate, on the Leeward 

 side,, and Balthazar, on the Windward side. 



Three specimens (S ^), probably belonging to this 

 species. They are less elongate and much smaller than 

 T. crihrarius ; the legs and antennje are shorter, the 

 latter with joints 9 and 10 strongly transverse (nearly 

 as long as broad in T. crihrarius) ; and the elytra are 

 more distinctly striate, with the punctures coarser. The 

 male-characters are similar, Miiklin's types were from 

 Puerto Rico. Beaten from vines and bushes (Smith). 



Talanus ferrugineus, n. sp. 



Elongate oval, convex, ferruginous, shining. Head closely, 

 finely punctate, the epistoma smoother, deeply, transversely 

 grooved in front ; antennas short, thickening outwardly, joints 

 7-10 strongly transverse, 11 oval, stouter than, and more than twice 

 as long as, 1 0. Prothorax about as long as broad, the sides rounded 

 in front and sinuate behind, sharply margined ; thickly, moderately 

 finely punctate, a space along the middle more sparsely punctured ; 

 transversely grooved before the base. Elytra moderately long, 

 about twice as wide as the prothorax, gradually widening to a 

 little beyond the middle and rapidly narrowing thence to the apex ; 

 deeply striate, the stride with oval, coars3 punctures, the sutural stria 

 very deeply impressed ; the interstices smooth and convex.
