 oribus ; antetmis pedibusque testaceis. Long, vix 1 millim. 



Mas, fronte. 



Hab. Geenadines : Mustique Island {H. H. Smith). 



A little smaller than. Enneartliron ajine, and less convex, and 

 also to be distinguished by the striate elytra, and the wider and 

 more expanded sides of the thorax. The latter is extremely finely 

 and very closely punctured, the punctuation under the microscope 

 appearing broken and the interstices being aciculate. The 

 armature o£ the head in the male is similar to that of E. affine, 

 i. e. there arise two short acute prominences from the clypeus. 

 I was inclined to believe this little species was an Ennearthron, 

 but there are ten joints to the antennse. The pubescence is a 

 little more rigid and more disposed in lines on the elytra than 

 in E. affine. 



Five specimens. 



Cis STiBiitrs, sp. n. 



Elongatus, depressus, fuscus, confertissinie punctatus, pube brevi 

 aureo-micante vestiius ; elytris Jiaud striatis ; ore, antennis pedi- 

 busque testaceis. Long. 2 millim. 



Hab. St. Vincent : south end (H. H. Smith). 



The head in this species is transversel}' impressed between the 

 eyes, the antennae are entirely pale. The thorax is oblong, 

 produced in front, very thickly and finely punctured, and the 

 surface is alutaceous between the punctures, it is therefore not 

 shining. The sides are very finely margined. The elytra are 

 long and rather depressed, clothed with a pruinose but golden 

 pubescence, finely but distinctl)' punctured ; the punctures show 

 a faint tendency to form lines, but are not serial. The legs are 

 rusty red. 



There are five examples of this Cis, which may be compared 

 to the European 0. fuscatus, Mellie.

The head in the male has the clypeus raised into a lamellate
