NEW SPECIES OF BARK BEETLES—BLACKMAN 187 
Elytra wider than pronotum, 1.58 times as long as wide, 1.57 times 
as long as pronotum; sides subparallel on anterior three-fifths, then 
arcuately narrowed, moderately narrowly rounded behind; surface 
weakly shining, strial rows somewhat irregular, punctures rather small, 
rather shallow, but deeper than in caribaeus, only first stria impressed ; 
interspaces reticulate, rugulose, with occasional single punctures; punc- 
tures somewhat confused on sides. Declivity with only first stria 
impressed, vestiture similar to that of caribaeus but less abundant. 
Male.——Similar to female in habitus; with frons very deeply concave 
above epistoma, the concavity extending from eye to eye below, and 
upward to level of upper angle of eye, its sides punctured and dis- 
tinctly granulate; median carina small, but visible in lower half of 
concavity ; hairs on declivity more conspicuous. 
Type locality.—British Guiana. 
Additional localities —Trinidad, British West Indies; Dominican 
Republic. 
Host.—Cajanus sp. seeds. 
Additional hosts—Hymenaea courbaril, Ceratonia sp. seeds. 
Type material—Holotype, allotype, and 29 paratypes, U.S.N.M. 
No. 56003. 
The holotype, allotype, and 12 paratypes were taken at quarantine 
from seeds of Cajanus sp., from British Guiana; 6 paratypes inter- 
cepted in seeds of Hymenaeca courbaril from Trinidad, British West 
Indies; 11 paratypes intercepted in seeds of Ceratonia sp. from 
Dominican Republic.

PLATE 20, Fiaure 14 
Female.—Light reddish brown, with anterior pronotum and elytra 
darker; 1.58 mm. long, 2.52 times as long as wide; belonging to the 
hymenaeae group. 
Frons convex above, only slightly flattened below, with a very fine, 
elevated, median carina; surface feebly shining, finely and densely 
punctured, with numerous very fine, rather short hairs (shorter than 
in humilis, new species). Eye large, very coarsely faceted; slightly 
less than half divided by the emargination. Antenna (fig. 14) with 
club obovate, 1.43 times as long as wide, 1.50 times as long as funicle; 
first suture rather strongly arcuate, strongly, not quite completely 
septate, the others not septate, indicated by setal rows. 
Pronotum 1.09 times as long as wide, widest near base, posterior 
outline arcuate, margined, posterior angles weakly rounded; sides 
weakly arcuate and converging from base to very feeble anterior lateral 
constriction, moderately rounded in front, with anterior margin feebly
