 known species are reviewed. 



The genus Macroceramits, Guilding, which follows next, stands apart from all 

 other genera of Urocoptinae. Anatomically it has not yet been described. The 

 genus is represented in Haiti by three groups of species : the groups of M. tentiipli- 

 catiis, of M. klatteanus, and of M. lineatns. In the latter group M. signatns var. 

 salleanns, M. ricliaiidi, vars. lincatistri^atns and siiblincatns are new, as also M. gabbi 

 from Santo Domingo. In the group of M. tcnuiplicatus the var. siciftiaiins of that 

 species is new, and in the M. klatteanus group M. snb-cylindricus is a new species. 

 The East and Central Cuban species follow. 



The next genus Microceranius, Pits, and Van., is also undescribed anatomically. 

 The following are described as new : M. gossei (Pfr.), var. providentia, and M. 

 pe itianiis (Orb.), var. perconicus.
