impressions on the disc. Antennse with the first three joints 

 brownish red. Legs testaceous. 



Length 2*75 mm. 



A narrow species, with the thorax slightly transverse and 

 not strongly dilated anteriorly. 



Head black, greasy-lustrous, without vertical impression, 

 finely and densely punctured, finely and sparingly pubescent; 

 the eyes large, the temples very small. Antennae with the 

 third joint a little shorter than the second, the fourth small, 

 as long as broad, the fifth a little longer than broad, larger 

 than the adjacent joints, the sixth a little longer than broad, 

 the seventh to the tenth transverse, gradually increasing in 

 width, the penultimate slightly transverse. Thorax slightly 

 transverse, widest about the middle, the sides only slightly 

 rounded and narrowed in front, contracted in a nearly 

 straight line behind ; the disc with a narrow smooth and 

 shining space throughout the whole length of the middle and 

 without trace of impressions, puncturation of the same size 

 as that of the head, but distinctly less close ; pubescence 

 fine and sparing. Elytra a little longer and a trifie broader 

 than the thorax, slightly longer than broad, puncturation 

 distinctly coarser and less close than on the thorax, pubescence 

 grey and fine. Abdomen shining, very finely and pretty 

 closely punctured in front, a little more sparingly on the last 

 three segments ; pubescence moderately fine, not sericeous. 



Jamaica. Type in my collection. 



4d. Trogophlmus {T<snosoma) sordidus, sp. n. 



Black, moderately shining ; the elytra dark brown. Head 

 densely punctured ; thorax with the impression on the disc 

 very obsolete. Antennae v/ith the first two joints brounish 

 testaceous. Legs testaceous. 



Length 1*75 mm. 



Closely allied to T. misellus^ Slip., but the thorax is more 

 transverse and more strongly contracted behind, the sculp- 

 ture more coriaceous, the }3Uijcturation appearing obsolete, 

 the elytra rather more coar>ely punctured, the antennae 

 longer, the penultimate joints less transverse. 



Head without impression on the vertex, closely and densely 

 sculptured, appearing to be coriaceous rather than punctured ; 

 eyes large, temjjles short. Antennse with the third joint dis- 

 tinctly shorter tlian thesecond, the fourth scarcely longer than 

 broad, the fifth as long as broad, larger than the fouith and 

 sixth, sixth to the tenth transverse, gradually increasing in 

 breadth, the penultimate about half as broad again as long.
