fiir Naturg., vol. 7, p. 180) placed it in his newly described genus 
Neopityophthorus Schedl and described a new variety from Costa 
Rica. 
In addition to two paratypes received from Eggers, the writer has 
studied two lots taken at quarantine and totaling 36 specimens. Of 
these, 18 specimens came from Jamaica in seeds of Brownea sp. and 
23 were shipped from Dutch Guiana in seeds of H'uterpe oleracea. 
NEODRYOCOETES SCHEDLI, new species 
PLATE 21, FIGURE 20 
Male.—Reddish brown, with anterior fourth of pronotum piceous- 
brown; 1.26 mm. long, 2.44 times as long as wide. 
Frons convex above, somewhat flattened below, rather finely and 
closely roughly punctured, with fine, short hairs, those on epistoma 
longer and directed downward; with faint indications of a median 
carina. Eye rather large, with moderate facets, emargination rather 
shallow. Antenna (fig. 20) with club 1.45 times as long as funicle, 
1.38 times as long as wide; first suture notched at sides, weakly arcuate, 
partially septate; second and third sutures strongly arcuate, indicated 
by rows of setae. 
Pronotum almost exactly as long as wide, widest near posterior 
angles; posterior border margined, feebly arcuate; sides nearly straight 
and subparallel on posterior third, then arcuately narrowed, con- 
stricted in front of middle, moderately narrowly rounded in front, an- 
terior margin with about 8 serrations, the median ones distinctly 
longer; contour of disk as seen from side almost evenly convex, the 
summit low, and posterior impression seen only at each side of median 
line and there indistinctly ; anterior area with asperities in irregularly 
concentric rows near summit, but with the first row behind margin 
fused to form a nearly regular serrate ridge; posterior area moderately 
shining, with punctures of moderate size, interstices finely reticulate; 
median line weakly elevated, wide behind, narrowed anteriorly; pro- 
notum nearly glabrous. 
Elytra slightly wider than pronotum and 1.78 times as long, about 
1.47 times as long as wide; sides subparallel, very feebly arcuate on 
anterior two-thirds, moderately rounded behind; surface reddish 
brown, moderately shining; punctures rather small, in nearly regular 
strial rows, the first row impressed; interspaces flat, very finely rugu- 
lose, nearly impunctate; vestiture minute on sides, minute and very 
scanty on disk. Declivity arched, without sulcus; suture weakly ele- 
vated, not granulate, first stria no more strongly impressed than on 
disk, punctures slightly smaller than those on disk, hairs only slightly 
longer and more numerous than on sides.
