narrowed to the constriction; broadly rounded in front with the 
margin distinctly serrate; dorsal contour not evenly arcuate, its sum- 
mit higher than basal portion and separated by a wide, rather deep, 
transverse impression; anterior area with asperities fused to form 5 
(including the marginal serrations) regular, serrate, concentric ridges, 
with interstices reticulate, finely, sparsely punctured, and with a few 
fine hairs; posterior area reticulate, moderately shining, with punc- 
tures of moderate size and spacing; median line rather wide, im- 
punctate, not elevated. 
Elytra not wider than pronotum, 1.46 times as long as wide, 1.46 
times as long as pronotum; sides nearly straight and subparallel on 
anterior half, then arcuately narrowed, moderately rounded behind; 
surface rather brightly shining; strial rows often irregular, due to 
crowding, only first striae impressed, punctures moderately coarse; 
interspaces flat, rugulose, nearly impunctate and subglabrous on 
disk; sides with strial rows nearly regular, interspaces with only 
occasional single punctures. Declivity sloping, originating about 
midway on elytra; suture slightly widened near apex, first stria 
strongly impressed, its punctures only slightly reduced, punctures of 
other striae as on disk but more regular; lateral elevations higher 
than suture, devoid of granules; vestiture very scanty. 
Male—Similar to female in habitus; with frons strongly convex 
above, transversely impressed above epistoma; surface shining, finely 
reticulate; sparsely, very finely and shallowly punctured, with a few 
very fine, very short hairs. 
Type locality —Cayamas, Cuba. 
Host.—Unknown. 
Type material—Holotype, allotype, and 24 paratypes, U.S.N.M. 
No. 56010. 
The type series was collected at Cayamas, Cuba, by E. A. Schwarz

Female—Light yellowish red (probably somewhat immature) ; 1.51 
mim. long, 2.82 times as long as wide; dorsal surface nearly glabrous 
except on declivity, ventral surface unusually hairy for the group. 
Frons unusually narrow between eyes, distinctly flattened, very finely 
and densely punctured, with numerous short, very fine hairs of nearly 
uniform length; median line elevated to form a low, blunt, median 
carina, impunctate and more shining below on epistoma. Eye very 
large, very coarsely faceted, less than one-fourth divided by a rather 
narrow and shallow emargination. Antenna (fig. 15) with club very
