Estuesorus, Eschsch. 
Esthesopus grenadensis, sp. n. 
Short, moderately broad, rather convex, shining, black; the anterior 
and hind angles of the prothorax and the front of the head reddish, 
the scutellum piceous, the elytra testaceous, with a common broad 
sutural stripe extending to beyond the middle, and the sides narrowly 
at the middle, piceous, the sides of the metasternum and of the abdo- 
men, and the epipleure, reddish, the antenne and legs testaceous ; 
above and beneath clothed with fine yellowish-cinerecus pubescence. 
Head densely, minutely punctate, with coarser punctures intermixed, 
the frontal carina moderately prominent ; antennz slender, about 
reaching the base of the prothorax. Prothorax much broader 
than long, transversely convex, a little narrowed in front and sub- 
parallel behind, distinctly compressed laterally at the middle, the 
sides thus appearing sinuate at this part; the base truncate on 
either side, without incisions ; the marginal carina nearly reaching 
the anterior angles; the hind angles very little produced, incurved at 
the tip, and excavate above for the reception of the humeri ; the 
surface densely, minutely punctate, with coarser punctures inter- 
mixed. Scutellum rather convex in front. Elytra about two and 
one-third times longer than the prothorax, and of the same width, 
somewhat flattened on the disc, subparallel to the middle and nar- 
rowing thence to the apex; coarsely and deeply punctate-striate, the 
interstices convex and densely, rugulosely punctate. Beneath 
densely, minutely punctate, with coarser punctures intermixed. 
Length 5, breadth 13 millim. (¢.) 
Hab. Grenada—Telescope Estate (Windward side). 
One example. This peculiar little species is allied to 
FB. hepaticus, Erichs.,* from Central and South America, 
pallid varieties of which are sometimes somewhat 
similarly coloured ; but it is much smaller and narrower, 
the thorax is more convex above and compressed laterally 
at the middle, the elytra are more deeply punctate- 
striate, with the interstices more convex, etc.
