I 



i bcrs on the bushes and trees of Greenwich, the residence of 



I J. Parry, Esq. 



li 75. Lachnopus (sp. nov.). Taken near Content rather late in 



i' May. 



I', 76. Loncophorus (sp. nov.?). Taken on the H amp stead Road 



|( in June. 



i; 77. Loncophorus (sp. nov. ?). Taken at the same place and 



\ season as the preceding. 



|! 78. Heilipus (sp. near elegans). Hampstead Road in June. 



79. Polydrusus (sp. nov.). Very numerous on the Hampstead 

 Road in May and June ; chiefly on the leaves of a spinous-leafed 

 Solanum. 



80 to 83. Ci'tjptorhynchus. Four species. 



84. Sphenophorus sericeus. 



85 to 87. Sitophilus. Three species. 



88. Calandra (sp. near abhreviata). 



89. Bostrichus (sp. near typographicus). The only occasion on 

 which I met with this species was on the dissection of a Chor- 

 deiles Virginianus early in May. The stomach was distended 

 with these little beetles, to the number of about two hundred, so 

 that when turned out, one wondered how they could ever have 

 been compressed into so small a cavity. Doubtless this bird had 

 found a swarm of these beetles flying high in air, in the evening ; 

 for it was soon after sunset that it was shot. 



90. Stenodontes {damicornis ?) . Three or four specimens of 

 tbis Longicorn, the female of which is the largest beetle 1 found 

 in Jamaica, occurred in March, April and October. All were 

 taken either within or about the house at Bluefields. 



91. Solenoptera fuliginosa (Fabr.). 



92. Solenoptera lineata (Linn.). I suspect that these two are 

 but one species, of which the former, destitute of the white 

 bands, is the male. Though I never found it myself, consi- 

 derable numbers were given me at various times in May and 

 June, all of which were taken at Shrewsbury, a little below Con- 

 tent. The sexes, if such they arc, occuiTcd in nearly equal num- 

 bers, and were almost invariably found together. 



93. Chlorida f estiva. Found within the house at Bluefields, 

 jifter nightfall, about the middle of May. 



94. Eburia 4-maculata. 



95. Eburia (sp. near 4i-maculata) . 



96. Eburia maculosa. 



97. Eburia (sp. nov.). 



All these species occurred principally on the Hampstead Road 

 in June, occasionally also at Sabito, and on Bluefields Mountain. 

 I could not call either of them common, with the exception of 

 E. maculosa, which, in the localities and at the season just named.
