BARBADOS-ANTIGUA REPORTS 25 
resembles pale forms of discolor Walk. Whether it will stand 
distinct from the numerous other described forms from South 
America I am unable to decide at the present time. The head, 
basal segment of the antenna, anterior lobe and lateral margins 
of the pronotum, rostrum, and legs are reddish-ochraceous. The 
posterior lobe of pronotum, scutellum, and corium is ochrace- 
ous. The base of the fourth segment of the antenna and the 
collar of pronotum are white. The pleura are ochraceous-red 
with the anterior margin of propleuron and the posterior mar- 
gins of all pleura and the acetabula broadly white. The venter 
is yellow with the incisures narrowly piceous. In the male the 
rostrum reaches to the apex of the second ventral segment of 
the abdomen. The membrane is fuscous, narrowly margined 
with pale yellow.

(Specimens from the West Indies.) 
Twenty-six specimens from Antigua and two from Barbados. 
Hitherto recorded from Jamaica, St. Vincent, Grenada, Porto 
Rico, San Domingo, and Cuba. I have studied material from 
Jamaica, Cuba, Porto Rico, San Domingo, and St. Thomas in 
the collection of the American Museum of Natural History. 
Although closely related to O. longiceps Stal, which I have 
treated as a synonym of scolopar Say, it can be differentiated 
from that species as follows: besides being smaller, its head is 
not drawn out quite so much anteriorly and the second and 
third antennal segments are a little longer with these parts, 
the legs and parts of the body less pilose.
