Hah. St. Vincent. Grenada : Mount Gay, leeward side ; 

 Grand Etang 1900 feet, Black Porest and Chantilly Estates, Bal- 

 thazar, windward side {H. H. Smith). 



The antennas in this insect are placed well in front of the large, 

 coarsely granulated, oval eyes ; the epistome is prominent, rounded 

 in front, and its edge covers the antennal sockets (as in Lanc/uria) ; 

 the crown of the head is somewhat elevated and nearly smooth. 

 The front of the thorax projects like a hood over the base of the 

 head ; with this exception it is quadrate, a very little narrowed 

 behind, coarsely punctured, the middle of its disk rather flat, its 

 sides and base margined. The prosternal process is distinct, with 

 raised margins, and a little arched. The elytra have striae, with 

 numerous closely-packed, squarish, but rather obsolete punctures, 

 becoming smaller and vanishing before the apex. The scutellum 

 is transverse. The metasternum is very strongly and sparsely, the 

 abdomen more thickly and less deeply punctate. 



A considerable series of examples of this insect was obtained, 

 principally at Mount Gay Estate.

Hab. St. Vincent (FT. H. Smith). 



In the specimens of this insect (eight in number) from St. 

 Vincent, the two middle spots on the thorax are connected with a 

 basal spot. The head is yellow, excepting at the base and round 

 the eyes, and the apical black on the elytra is little developed ; 

 otherwise it is very near /. 4-23unctatus and /. suhcylindricus. It 

 has occurred in Mexico and in Nicaragua.
