of St. Vincent, Grenada, and the Grenadines. 51 



Eight specimens. I have also seen it from Guadeloupe, 

 in the collection of M. Fleutiaux of Paris, and from 

 Antigua, in the collection of the Rev. T. A. Marshall. 

 The anterior tibi« are very slender in the males. The 

 peculiar sculpture of the hind tibise is common to several 

 of the Central- American species of the genus. The insect 

 is nearest allied to M. luteola and M. isahellina, Champ., 

 from both of which it differs in its much smaller size, 

 shorter antennae, and shorter apical ridges of the hind 

 tibiae.
