New West Indian Carabidse 
71 
This is the first red spotted Ardistomus known from the 
West Indies. It belongs in group 1, section 1 of Putzeys’ 
revision (Ann. Soc. Ent. Belgique 10, 1866, 200-). It is 
close to A. convexa Putz., of which we have a broken speci- 
men from Mexico, but differs in being slightly less convex^ 
and in having the elytra shining, not alutaceous as in con- 
vexa. The Cuban species is also brighter, with larger ely- 
tral spots. From A. obliquata Putz. of the eastern United 
States, including Florida, the Cuban species differs in being 
smaller, with different outline of prothorax, and with fewer 
setigerous punctures on the third elytral interval.

Subparallel, slightly depressed; rufous (immature) or 
black, appendages and lower surface always more or less 
rufescent. Head with mentum toothed; vertex seven-sul- 
cate, central carinse nearly parallel, only slightly converging 
anteriorly. Prothorax by measurement slightly wider than 
long; disk impunctate, slightly wrinkled transversely, with 
a single longitudinal sulcus each side of the median sulcus. 
Elytra rather deeply striate, striae punctate basally, not 
apically; third and fifth intervals each with about seven, 
seventh with about four setigerous punctures (exact num- 
ber slightly variable). Front tibia as usual in genus. Male 
with three setigerous punctures placed triangularly each 
side of last ventral; female with two setae each side, near 
margin. Length 3%-4l/ 2 mm.
