Dept. Santander, Colombia, taken from moldy fruit of Theobroma 
cacao by R. P. Roba; the third lot taken at quarantine, Washington, 
D. C., by H. L. Sanford, from pods of condurango, originated in 
Guayaquil, Ecuador; and a single specimen taken by F. J. Dyer in 
Honduras. 
Schedl’s otherwise excellent description does not distinguish be- 
tween the sexes. His description apparently apples to the female 
with the frons convex, slightly flattened below, very finely, densely 
punctured, with moderately abundant, fine hairs and a distinct median 
carina. The frons of the male is neither so finely nor densely punc- 
tured, with fewer, much shorter hairs, with the median carina much 
more distinct on the upper frons and reduced just above the epistoma. 
NEODRYOCOETES TABOGAE, new species 
PLATE 20, FIGURE 7 
Female—Reddish brown; 1.83 mm. long, 2.67 times as long as 
wide. 
Frons flattened from eye to eye on more than a semicircle, slightly 
concave at center, weakly shining, very finely, densely punctured, with 
very fine hairs of moderate length over most of surface, and a sparse 
border of slightly coarser, much longer hairs at sides and above; 
median carina represented by an indistinct, indefinite elevation on 
epistoma. Eye large, rather coarsely faceted, about one-fourth di- 
vided by the emargination. Antenna (fig. 7) with club very broadly 
obovate, 1.16 times as long as wide, first suture notched at sides, 
strongly arcuate, strongly incompletely septate; second and third su- 
tures marked only by very irregular setal rows. 
Pronotum 1.10 times as long as wide, widest at base, posterior out- 
line weakly arcuate, distinctly margined, posterior angles scarcely 
rounded; sides nearly straight and subparallel on more than posterior 
half, very feebly constricted in front of middle, broadly rounded in 
front, anterior margin with fine, broad serrations; dorsal contour 
evenly arcuate from base to apex; anterior area with small, broad 
asperities in very irregular, concentric arrangement, extending past 
middle at sides; with numerous, moderately short, golden-yellow hairs 
directed toward summit; posterior area moderately shining, finely 
reticulate, finely, closely punctured, with fine, rather short hairs; 
median line moderately wide, distinctly elevated, impunctate, extend- 
ing anteriorly past middle of pronotum. 
Elytra scarcely wider than pronotum, 1.62 times as long as wide, 
1.50 times as long as pronotum; sides subparallel on anterior half, 
then very gradually narrowed; broadly rounded behind; surface shin- 
ing; strial rows nearly entirely regular except near base, only first
