in front, the sides nearly straight, the surface very finely 
and somewhat closely punctured, rufous, with a narrow bluish- 
black median band extending from the apex to the base ; scutel- 
lum black; elytra with ten rows of distinct punctures, the 
sutural one short, the submarginal row consisting of some finer 
and more irregularly-placed punctures, the interstices minutely 
granulate ; the underside and the legs black, the knees, tarsi, and 
the last two abdominal segments more or less fulvous ; the sides 
of the breast strongly punctured, the rest of the under surface 
nearly impunctate ; penis short and broad, strongly curved, the 
apex broadly rounded. 
Hab. Grenada—Mount Gay Estate (Leeward side), 
Balthazar (Windward side). 
This species is very similarly coloured to many South 
American forms, but differs from all of them in the black 
underside and legs; in some specimens, however, the 
tibiae are obscurely stained with fulvous below, but to a 
small extent. In nearly all the South- and Central- 
American species of the genus the colour of the under- 
side and legs is fulvous.
