NEW SPECIES OF BARK BEETLES—BLACKMAN 193 
broadly ovate, 1.1 times as long as wide, nearly twice as long as funicle; 
first suture more strongly arcuate, indicated by a row of setae and 
a slight notch at each side but with weak septum; third suture indi- 
cated only by an incomplete row of setae; hairs on both club and 
funicle longer than usual but often fimbriated. 
Pronotum 1.19 times as long as wide, widest at base, posterior out- 
line nearly straight, distinctly margined; posterior angles scarcely 
rounded; sides nearly straight and very feebly convergent on posterior 
half, scarcely at all constricted in front of middle, very broadly 
rounded in front, anterior margin finely serrate; summit low, at middle, 
feebly, transversely impressed posterior to it; anterior area with 
numerous low, broad asperities in irregularly concentric arrangement; 
posterior area shining, finely reticulate, with punctures fine, shallow, 
and rather sparse; median line scarcely elevated, very narrow at trans- 
verse impression; sides nearly devoid of punctures. 
Elytra nearly exactly as wide as pronotum and 1.44 times as long, 
1.68 times as long as wide; sides straight and subparallel on anterior 
two-thirds, then gently, arcuately narrowed, moderately rounded be- 
hind, not conjointly rounded but emarginate at suture, exposing tip 
of abdomen; surface brightly shining, finely, indistinctly reticulate; 
strial rows regular, with punctures fine and shallow, first stria weakly 
impressed, others not impressed on disk and sides; interspaces flat, 
impunctate, and devoid of hairs. Declivity moderately sloping, origi- 
nating well behind middle; suture distinctly elevated, with a few mod- 
erate granules; first stria impressed, its punctures obsolescent; lateral 
elevations not so high as suture, finely granulate on third and more 
lateral interspaces, with numerous fine, moderately short, erect hairs. 
Male—Similar to female in habitus, but with frons more coarsely 
punctured, and with fewer, coarser hairs; elytral declivity with coarser 
granules and longer, coarser hairs. 
Type locality —Cabima, Panama. 
Host—Unknown. 
Type material—Holotype, allotype, and two paratypes, U.S. N. M. 
No. 56008. 
The type series was collected at Cabima, Panama, May 21, 22, and
