of St. Vincent, Grenada, and the Grenadines. 49 



near the base, the elytra brownish or piceous, becoming indetermin- 

 ately paler on the disc towards the base ; the under surface with 

 the sides of the metasternum and of the hind coxas broadly, and 

 the first four ventral segments in great part, piceous, or rufo-testa- 

 ceous, with the second and third ventral segments only in part 

 piceous ; the pygidium in the middle, and the extreme apex of the 

 hind tibiae and also that of the first three hind tarsal joints, infus- 

 cate or black ; the elytra each with a small rounded spot near the 

 suture a little below the base, a smaller one lower down at the 

 side, a broad transverse sublunate mark at one-third from the apex, 

 and an indistinct apical patch (visible only in certain lights), 

 cinereo-pubescent, the rest of the pubescence of the upper surface 

 fulvous, that of the under surface fulvous or yellowish-cinereous. 

 Antennae slender, rather short, joint 3 very small, much shorter 

 than 2 or 4. Elytra rather short, gradually narrowing from the 

 base. Pygidium very elongate, slender. Length to end of the 

 elytra, 2^ mm. ($.) 



Hah. St. Vincent — Leeward side; Grenada — Bal- 

 thazar, on tlie Windward side. 



Two specimens, one of which is without head and 

 thorax. This pretty little species is allied to the Central- 

 American M. flavonotata, M. nigromaculata, Champ., etc. 

 The spots are entirely due to the colour of the pubescence. 

 The hind tibias have a single short subapical ridge, as 

 usual in Mordella.
