the vegetation was partly shaded. In June, adults were much 
more abundant than nymphs. 
E. crenator can searcely be confused with any other penta- 
tomid of the region. With its subacute humeri directed upward 
and slightly backward and the black, concavely arcuated, finely 
and rather regularly denticulated antero-lateral pronotal mar- 
gins. Length 8.5-10.0 mm. 
On the afternoon of July 1 at the foot of Monk’s Hill, 
Antigua, not far from the little village of Falmouth, in a small, 
low, swamp-like area not more than sixty feet in diameter, but 
perfectly dry at this time, although well shaded by small trees, 
Mrs. Stoner discovered great numbers of this species on a thick- 
ly growing solanaceous plant. Some of the plants were literally 
overrun with the insects. After a few strokes of the hand net 
fifty-two adults, along with several nymphs, were taken from 
the bag. About a hundred specimens were taken and as many 
more could very easily have been secured. A few examples were 
also taken near this place from the grassy edges of small eul- 
tivated fields. On the morning of July 8 I again visited the 
patch of Solanacee with fair returns for my efforts, but what 
was my surprise, on again beating the same plants about four 
o’clock in the afternoon, to find the species as abundant as it 
was a few hours previously. A few M. ypsilon were also taken 
at the same time. 
Northeast of English Harbor, in uncultivated areas formerly 
cultivated to cotton and other plants, but recently permitted to 
grow up in weeds and grass, the species was not uncommon on 
July 5.

Fourteen adult specimens of this species which is widely dis- 
tributed in South and Central America and Mexico were taken 
at Antigua between July 1 and 15. The acutely pointed anterior 
extremity of the tylus is considerably produced beyond the 
anterior margin of the head, and the specimens show no tendency 
to vary in this regard, the nymphs also sharing in this character. 
Loealities and dates are as follows: Falmouth, July 1, 8 and
