Holotype $ (Museum of Comparative Zoology no. 19513) 
from Cinchona Jamaica, 5,000 ft., Jan., C. T. Brues; 11 
paratypes (American Museum and M. C. Z.) from the same 
locality, Feb. 26. 
In Chaudoir’s tabulation of Colpodes ( l . c.) this species 
would fall nearest to C. sphodroides Chd. and C. pristony- 
choides Chd. of Mexico, but it is much more slender than 
either, with a relatively larger head, as shown by compari- 
son with our small series of sphodroides from “Biologia” 
material. It is very similar indeed to Colpodes Iherminieri 
Chd., but the metepisterna are much shorter, the head re- 
latively larger, and the elytra more opaque than in that 
species. 
Colpodes macer n. sp. (PI. 5, fig. 7.) 
Elongate; rather depressed; rufo-testaceous (immature) 
to piceous, appendages scarcely paler; upper surface finely 
alutaceous. Head very elongate ; eyes rather large but less 
prominent than u'sual in genus; antennae slender, middle 
joints about three times as long as wide; mentum at mid- 
dle of emargination with a long slender tooth, pointed or 
very narrowly truncate at apex. Prothorax (by measure- 
ment) as long as wide, but appearing longer ; sides rather 
widely reflexed; basal angles obtuse, narrowly rounded; 
disk with fine median longitudinal line and broad 
vague basal and apical transverse impressions, also with 
lateral impression on each side from near basal angles for- 
ward and outward to in front of middle. Elytra elongate, 
prolonged and independently subangulate apically; margin 
broadly, slightly sinuate near apex; striae entire, rather 
deep, impunctate ; intervals slightly convex, third with three 
inconspicuous punctures. Inner wings vestigial; metepis- 
terna short. Tibiae not canaliculate externally; tarsi sul- 
cate, sulci widely separated, fifth joint not ciliate, fourth 
not lobed externally on middle and hind* feet; male anterior 
tarsi slightly dilated. Length 13-15 mm.
