32 Mr. G, C. Champion on the Ileteromeroiis Coleoptera 



$ . Anterior tibise armed with a sharp triangular tooth on the 

 inner side a little beyond the middle. 



Length G-6^, breadth 2^-2^ mm. ( ^ $ .) 



Hah. St. Vincent; Grenada — Balthazar^ and Chantilly 

 Estate, on the Windward side. 



Six specimens. Allied to T. guadeloupensis, Fleut. and 

 Salle (the types, ?, of which are before me), but entirely 

 ferruginous in colour, the thorax with a rather deep trans- 

 verse groove before the base, the antennae with joints 

 8-10 more strongly transverse. From T. suhexaratus, 

 Miikl., from Central and South America, it may be known 

 by its more robust build, more oval elytra, and ferrugi- 

 nous colour, and also in having the tooth on the anterior 

 tibiae placed nearer the middle in the males, the tooth ou 

 the intermediate pair being obsolete. Beaten from vines 

 and brush ; also attracted to " light " (Smith). 



Talanus l^evicollis, n. sp. 

 Elongate, subparallel, convex, subopaque ; black, piceous, or 

 fuscous, the legs reddish-brown in light-coloured examples, the 

 antennae and palpi ferruginous. Head sparsely, very minutely 

 punctate, deeply transversely grooved in front ; antennai short, 

 thickening outwardly, joints 8-10 transverse, wider than 7, 11 oval, 

 stout. Prothorax a little longer than broad, the sides rounded in 

 front and sinuate behind, sharply margined ; sparsely, minutely 

 punctate, almost smooth at the sides, and Avith a short oblique 

 groove on either side of the middle before the base. Elytra 

 moderately elongate, one-half wider than the prothorax, subparalkd 

 to about the middle and rapidly narrowing thence to the apex ; 

 sharply punctate-striate, the striaa with oval rather coarse punctures 

 which become finer towards the apex, the sutural stria very deeply 

 impressed ; the interstices smooth and feebly convex. 



^ . The tibia3 each armed with a short triangular tooth on the 

 inner side near the apex. 



Length 5^7^, breadth lh-2^ mm. (<??.) 



nah. St. Vincent; Grenada — Balthazar, and Chantilly 

 Estate on the Windward side, Windsor. 



Numerous examples of both sexes. This species 

 differs from all the allied forms in its dull, and sparsely, 

 minutely punctured thorax. Beaten from vines, bushe.s, 

 and dry banana leaves (Smith).
