294 Mr. George Charles Champion on the Serricorn 
disc to a little beyond the middle and also along either side of the 
suture towards the apex, the disc with indications of two raised 
lines, the sutural angles sharp, the humeri rounded. 
Length 23, breadth 11 millim. 
Hab. St. Vincent. 
Two female examples. Allied to C. quadrifoveolatus, 
C. parallelus, and C. truncatus, Champ., but differing from 
the corresponding sex of all of them in the unimpressed 
elytra and the longer and darker antenne. ‘The elytra, 
as usual, are not so finely punctured as the thorax; they 
are rather widely dehiscent in their apical third.* A 
single Cyphon from the same locality is probably the male 
of the same species : it differs from the females in being 
much less depressed and more oval in shape, and in 
having the elytra more sparsely punctured, less dehiscent 
behind, and without trace of raised lines on the disc. 
Somewhat similar differences are to be found between 
the sexes of C. bifoveolatus, Champ. 
Cyphon caraibus, sp. n. 
Elliptic, short, convex, shining, thickly clothed with fine 
greyish pubescence; black or pitchy-black, the mouth-parts 
ferruginous, the antennz and legs testaceous, the femora slightly 
infuscate. Head, prothorax, and scutellum sparsely and 
minutely, the elytra sparsely and moderately finely, punctate ; 
head very broad, the eyes rather large; antennz long and mode- 
rately slender, joint 2 short and rather stout, 3 and 4 elongate, 
equal in length, 5-10 slightly shorter ; prothorax short and con- 
vex ; elytra without raised lines, the suture straight to the apex, 
the apices rather obtuse. 
Length 13-1,° millim. 
Hab. St. Vincent—Windward and Leeward sides. 
Five specimens. ‘This obscure little species has very 
much the facies of a small black Scymnus. It is allied 
to the Central-American C. ampliceps, differing from that 
insect in its smaller size and biack colour, and in having 
the second antennal joint not so stout and the third and 
* This is also the case in C. quadrifoveolatus and its allies, though 
I have not mentioned it in the descriptions. In all these forms the 
elytra (when properly closed) are more or less dehiscent in their 
apical third, but more distinctly so in the female than in the male.
