Lohnpoda rhenina, n. sp. (Plato I., fig. 11, S, genitalia.)

 shining, clothed with a few scattered hairs; the palpi and tarsi, 

 the apical joint of the antennfc, and the apices of the preceding 

 joints, ferruginous. Head sparsely, finely punctate ; the eyes very 

 large, approximate in front ; antennge about half the length of the 

 body. Prothoi'ax strongly transverse, a little narrowed in front, 

 the sides rounded anteriorly and almost parallel behind ; the sur- 

 face very sparsely and somewhat coarsely punctate, transversely 

 depressed in the middle before the base, and with the basal foveas 

 sharply defined. Elytra not wider than the prothorax, moderately 

 elongate, rapidly narrowing from about the middle, and rounded 

 at the apex ; coarsely and deeply crenate-striate, the punctures 

 closely placed ; the interstices convex, sparsely, finely punctate. 

 Legs rather short ; anterior and intermediate tarsi stout, with 

 joints 1-4 broadly lobed beneath ; anterior tibias sub-triangularly 

 widened on the inner side before the middle. Genitalia ; the 

 lateral lobes moderately long, rather narrow, and abruptly curved

Hah. Grenada — Soubise, on the Windward side. 



One abraded specimen. Amongst tlie numerous 

 Central-American species of Lohopoda described by 

 myself, L. ehenina is perhaps nearest allied to L. 

 fristiii ; but it is much smaller and more shining, with 

 less elongate limbs, the thorax almost parallel behind, 

 and the genitalia in the male very differently formed. 

 In the shore-woods (vSmith).
