much broader than long, bisinuate at the base, rounded at the 

 sides, the latter strongly constricted behind, and armed with four 

 short blunt teeth, the hind angles acute ; the surface densely, 

 rather coarsely punctate. Elytra one-half wider than, aild nearly 

 four times the length of, the prothorax, subparallel to the middle, 

 and rapidly narrowing thence to the apex ; rather finely seriate- 

 punctate, the punctures closely placed ; the interstices flat, each 

 with a series of slightly finer, more scattered punctures, the alter- 

 nate ones also with a series of widely separated tubei'cular 

 elevations. Length 9, breadth 3^ mm. 



Hab. St. Vincent — Chateaubelais. 



One specimen. Larger, duller, and more elongate than 

 L. tuherculifer ; the antennae less dilated, and with joints 

 5-10 longer than broad ; the thorax more densely punc- 

 tured, with the marginal teeth more obtnse ; the elytral 

 interstices each side with a row of punctures extending 

 from the base to the apex, the tubercular elevations fewer

Statira antillarum, n. sp. 



Moderately elongate, shining, piceous, the head and prothorax 

 sometimes pitchy-red, the basal half of the femora rufo-testaceous, 

 the tarsi brownish. Head almost smooth ; the eyes large, coarsely 

 granulated, separated by a space nearly equalling the width of one 

 of the eyes as seeu from above ; autennjB scarcely half the length 

 of the body, the apical joint nearly as long as joints 6-10 united, 

 very little shorter in the female. Prothorax as long as broad, 

 rounded at the sides, almost smooth. Elytra moderately elongate, 

 a little more than twice the width of the prothorax, gradually 

 widening to the middle and rapidly narrowing thence to the 

 apex, the apices sharp and divaricate ; finely punctate-striate, the 

 punctures closely placed ; the interstices rather convex, the first, 

 third, fifth, seventh, and ninth each with about ten or twelve deep 

 setiferous punctures, the setiie very long and erect. Tibije sulcate 

 on their outer edge.
