  The 
  bulk 
  of 
  the 
  species 
  described 
  in 
  the 
  present 
  paper 
  were 
  

   collected 
  by 
  Mr. 
  Ram 
  age 
  ; 
  but 
  I 
  take 
  the 
  present 
  oppor- 
  

   tunity 
  of 
  adding 
  the 
  description 
  of 
  a 
  remarkable 
  new 
  genus 
  

   and 
  species 
  lately 
  received 
  from 
  Ilerr 
  Fruhstorfer 
  from 
  There- 
  

   sopolis. 
  In 
  addition 
  to 
  the 
  new 
  species, 
  Mr. 
  Ramage's 
  col- 
  

   lection 
  contained 
  two 
  damaged 
  specimens 
  apparently 
  referable 
  

   to 
  Bacunculus 
  haita, 
  Westw., 
  and 
  Bacteria 
  calamus, 
  Fabr., 
  

   from 
  Santa 
  Lucia. 
  There 
  were 
  also 
  several 
  specimens 
  of 
  

   Pseudohacteria 
  antillarum, 
  Sauss.*, 
  originally 
  described 
  from 
  

   Guadeloupe. 
  In 
  the 
  specimens 
  from 
  Dominica 
  the 
  antennas 
  

   are 
  yellow 
  for 
  one 
  third 
  of 
  the 
  distance 
  from 
  the 
  base, 
  the 
  rest 
  

   being 
  brown 
  alternating 
  with 
  yellow 
  spaces. 
  In 
  one 
  speci- 
  

   men 
  the 
  four 
  subapical 
  spines 
  on 
  the 
  middle 
  and 
  hind 
  tibiae 
  

   are 
  wholly 
  absent 
  on 
  the 
  right 
  side, 
  though 
  on 
  the 
  left 
  side 
  

   the 
  legs 
  are 
  armed 
  as 
  usual.
