11. Newportia heteropoda, sp. nov. 



Type.— M. C. Z. 1,872. Cuba: Belona Oriente, 16 January, 1914.

This species seems closely related to N. longitarsis but presents 

 obvious differences. The two species are at once to be distinguished 

 by differences in the anal legs. As in N . hngitarsis the present species 

 bears on the prefemur of the anal legs a series of four long, distally 

 curved, spines shorter than the diameter of the article. The succeed- 

 ing joint, however, differs in having in addition to the two small 

 spines in line proximad of the middle also a third one distad of the 

 middle. On the mesal side of the prefemur is a double series of short 

 spinescent setae and such also occur, less strongly marked and more 

 irregular, on the ectal surface. The tibia is slightly longer than the 

 femur and of about the same thickness. The first joint of the tarsus 

 is but half or little more than the length of the tibia than which it is 

 but slightly more slender; it is gently clavately widened distad where 

 it is obliquely truncate. A strongly marked characteristic of the 

 species is that the following articles of the tarsus, which are distinctly 

 separated and uniform and nine in number, are abruptly much more 

 slender than the first one. 



The paired sulci of the first tergite are simple, not forked anteriorly 

 where they join the transverse sulcus. Transverse sulcus evenly 

 semicircular, not free from the cephalic plate. On the second tergite 

 on each side toward the anterior border a transverse sulcus or pale 

 line parallel to the anterior margin and extending to the longitudinal 

 sulcus. 



Length 17 mm.
