Longicorii Coleoi^tera of the West India Islands, 101 
Yery closely allied to U. mite, Newm., and possibly 
not a distinct species. It was founded on a single 
specimen which appears to be somewhat rubbed. The 
prothorax seems to be more strongly punctured at the 
sides than in mite ; and the pubescence of the elytra is 
much broken up and reduced to scattered elongated 
spots or patches of an ashy-grey colour. In mite the 
pubescence is pretty evenly spread over the elytra^ being 
broken only by a few linear glabrous tracts^ and is of a 
luteous-grey colour. 
Section II. Presternum truncate behind. Third and 
fourth joints of the antennae spined at both the distal 
angles.

This species may be easily recognized by the numerous 
tawny pubescent spots scattered over the elytra, with 
the intervening spaces almost naked, glossy, and of a 
reddish-brown colour. 
One example of Pascoe*s collection is ticketed Jamaica, 
but this indication of locality may be wrong.
