below, with short, fine, inconspicuous hairs, without distinct median 
carina. Eye large, coarsely faceted, less than one-third divided by 
an emargination. Antenna (fig. 17) with club very broad oval, nearly 
as wide as long, 1.5 times as long as funicle; first suture moderately 
arcuate, the septum rather weak; second and third sutures indicated 
only by arcuate setal rows. 
Pronotum 1.11 times as long as wide, widest at base, posterior margin 
scarcely arcuate, posterior angles slightly rounded; sides straight and 
subparallel on posterior half, arcuately narrowed to the constriction, 
broadly rounded in front; anterior margin finely but distinctly ser- 
rate; dorsal contour not evenly arcuate, its summit scarcely elevated, 
with surface posterior to it broadly, very shallowly impressed; anterior 
area with moderate-sized asperities not arranged in regular concentric 
rows; posterior area subopaque, densely, finely granulate-punctate in 
transverse impression, finely and rather roughly punctured behind, 
median line indistinct. 
Elytra equal in width to pronotum, 1.65 times as long as wide, 1.5 
times as long as pronotum; sides nearly straight and subparallel on 
anterior two-thirds, moderately rounded behind; surface faintly reticu- 
Jate, shining; strial punctures of moderate size, in regular strial rows, 
only the first impressed ; interspaces scarcely rugulose, impunctate on 
disk except in first interspace near declivity; sides with regular strial 
rows and without hairs except near ventral border. Declivity moder- 
ately sloping, originating well behind middle; suture elevated; with 
fine granules, first stria rather strongly impressed, its punctures obso- 
lescent, those of second stria obsolete; lateral elevations slightly higher 
than suture, with a few minute granules; all of interspaces except 
second punctured and bearing short, erect, rather stout hairs. 
Male.—Similar to female in habitus, with frons more strongly con- 
vex, transversely impressed only just above epistomal margin, with 
punctures much sparser than in female and with much fewer, shorter 
hairs, 
Type locality —Cayamas, Cuba. 
Host.—Unknown. 
Type material—Holotype, allotype, and one paratype, U.S.N.M. No. 
56009. 
The short type series was collected by E. A. Schwarz at Cayamas, 
Cuba, in May and June.

PLATE 21, Figure 19 
This species was described from Guadaloupe as of the genus Pity- 
ophthorus by Eggers in 1925. In 1936 (Rev. Ent., vol. 6, p. 390) 
Eggers placed it in Neodryocoetes Eggers. Sched] in 1988 (Arch.
