Mr. Charles J. Gahan on the 
elytra is faint. The apices are rounded. The femora are grey, 
speckled with pale brown. The tibiae and tarsi exhibit alternating 
patches of grey and dark brown. The antennas are speckled with 
brown. Long. 6— 7^-, lat. 2—2^ mm.

This species is allied to, and somewhat resembles,

193. Leptostylus parvulus, sp. n. (PI. 11., fig. 9.) 
With a light brown pubescence. Elytra each with a narrow 
and obliquely sinuous pale band placed behind the middle. The 
inner part of this band runs obliquely forwards towards the suture, 
and, with the corresponding part of the opposite band, forms an 
acute angle, resembling an inverted V, on each side of which is an 
elongated black spot. The prothorax is without tubercles above, 
and is not visibly punctured, but is crossed by a transverse im- 
pression near the base ; the lateral tubercle is placed very close to 
the base. The elytra, minutely punctured, are rounded at the 
apex. The legs are light brown, with the tarsi and distal part of 
the tibias blackish-brown. The antennae are pale greyish-testaceous, 
with the joints tipped with brown at their apex. Long. 3J — 5 mm.

Hah. Haiti (Salle), Cuba ; and North America. 
The only difference I find between the West Indian 
examples and others from North America is in the shape 
of the postero-lateral tubercle or tooth of the prothorax. 
In the former the anterior face of the tubercle is merely 
a continuation of the side of the prothorax, its posterior 
face is almost transverse, and at right angles to the side 
of the very short constricted basal part of the prothorax. 
In the latter the posterior face of the somewhat conical
