a narrow carina separating the two impressions. Last ventral 

 plate very feebly and broadly emarginate. 



Grenada {H. H. Smith). Type in the British Museum 

 collection. 



27. Stilicus jucundus, sp. n. 

 (Fauvel, in litt.) 



Bronze-black, rather dull ; elytra shining, with the apical 

 border narrowly testaceous. Antennae and legs testaceous. 



Length 4 mm. 



In general appearance and coloration very similar to 

 S. mut'tcus, Slip., but differs by the narrower and more 

 coarsely punctured thorax, with broader smooth central line, 

 much more coarsely punctured elytra, and the male characters. 



Head large, transverse, with the eyes broader than the 

 elytra ; posterior angles completely rounded ; eyes large ; 

 puncturation close, umbilicate. Labrum testaceous. An- 

 tennae with first joint elongate, rather stout ; second shorter 

 than first and third ; fourth distinctly, fifth and sixth slightly, 

 longer than broad; seventh to tenth about as long as broad; 

 eleventh not so long as the two preceding together. Thorax 

 a little longer than broad, widest at the anterior angles, 

 which are rounded, considerably narrowed in front, a little 

 rounded and gradually narrowed to the posterior angles, 

 which are a little obtuse, narrower than the head and elytra ; 

 disc with a rather broad, smooth, central line in nearly the 

 whole length ; puncturation similar to, but rather coarser 

 than, that of the head. Elytra a little longer than the 

 thorax, as long as broad, coarsely but not closely punctured, 

 with the apical margin narrowly, and the postero-external 

 angles more broadly, testaceous, shining. Abdomen black, 

 shining, pretty closely and finely punctured and pubescent. 



Observe. — In some specimens a slight violet shade is 

 noticeable.

28. Stilicus agnatus, sp. n. 



(Fauvel, in litt.) 



Black, a little shining. Elytra narrowly testaceous at 

 apical margin. Antennae and legs testaceous. 



Length 4 mm. 



Very similar to the preceding, so that a detailed description 

 is unnecessary. It differs by having the head and thorax
