two-thirds, narrowly rounded behind, not conjointly rounded at apex, 
but broadly emarginate at suture; surface shining, very finely, indis- 
tinctly reticulate; punctures inconspicuous, minute, not in complete, 
regular rows on disk and sides; interspaces impunctate. Declivity 
moderately arched, suture feebly elevated, none of striae impressed; 
interspaces entirely devoid of granules, with minute punctures from 
which arise conspicuous, erect, stout, cinereous, spatulate hairs. 
Male——Very similar to female in size and habitus; frons slightly 
more roughly punctured above, transversely impressed below, with 
hairs less numerous and shorter. 
Type locality—Cayamas, Cuba. 
Host.—Unknown. 
Type material—Holotype and 14 paratypes, U.S.N.M. No. 56016. 
The type series was taken by E. A. Schwarz at Cayamas, Cuba, dur- 
ing January and February. No host record is available. 
PITYOPHTHOROIDES ROBAI, new species 
PLATE 21, FIGURE 28 
Female—Very dark reddish brown, with summit of pronotum 
lighter; larger and slightly stouter than pudens. 
Frons mostly concealed, convex above, transversely flattened below; 
surface reticulate, subopaque, moderately punctured above, more finely 
and closely below, with fine hairs of moderate length. Eye moderately 
small, with rather small facets, less than half divided by emargination. 
Antenna (fig. 28) with club 1.24 times as long as wide, 1.37 times as 
long as funicle; all of sutures arcuate, the first and second notched at 
sides, none of sutures septate. 
Pronotum longer than wide, widest near base, posterior outline 
nearly straight, angles scarcely rounded; sides nearly straight and 
subparallel on posterior half, broadly rounded in front, with anterior 
margin distinctly serrate; anterior area with moderate-sized asperities 
in irregular, concentric rows, not extending behind middle at sides; 
summit moderate, transverse impression rather shallow; posterior area 
shining, faintly reticulate, somewhat rugulose, with very fine, incom- 
spicuous punctures, median line impunctate, not elevated; hairs fine 
and short. 
Elytra slightly wider than pronotum, 1.63 times as long as wide; 
sides subparallel on more than anterior half, moderately narrowly 
rounded behind, emarginate at apex of suture; surface faintly reticu- 
late; punctures minute and inconspicuous, in incomplete rows, none of 
striae impressed on disk and sides; interspaces impunctate and devoid 
of hairs. Declivity moderately arched, surface feebly shining; striae 
not impressed, interspaces without granules, with very fine punctures, 
giving origin to rather conspicuous, short, erect, spatulate bristles.
