Superficially this species is rather like a small, stout beau- 
voisi Dej., but is easily separable as shown in the key. 
Selenophorus haitianus n. sp. 
Not especially broad, but very convex; piceous without 
distinct metallic or iridescent lustre ; appendages testaceous. 
Head with front impunctate, very shining; mandibular 
scrobes short. Prothorax slightly less than a half wider 
than long (by measurement), rather strongly narrowed 
posteriorly ; basal angles obtuse, narrowly rounded ; median 
impressed line fine but distinct, transverse impressions ob- 
solete ; disk convex, very shining ; base, especially basal fov- 
eae, rather finely and closely punctate (punctures fainter at 
middle of base.) Elytra with humeri angulate; stride mo- 
derately impressed, impunctate except for usual small serial 
punctures; scutellar stria present; margin moderately sin- 
uate near apex; intervals alutaceous, glabrous. Apex of 
pronotum not margined. Hind tarsi long. Length ±5 mm. 
Holotype $ (Museum of Comparative Zoology no. 19524) 
from Manneville, Haiti, W. M. Mann; 1 $ paratype (Amer- 
ican Museum) from Pont Beudet, Haiti, March 3-4, 1922, 
altitude about 100 ft. 
As compared with its closest relatives, which seem to be 
latior and parvus, this species differs not only as shown in 
the key, but in its much more convex and more shining 
(though not metallic) anterior parts. 
82. Selenophorus chalybeus Dej. 
Selenophorus cyaneopacus n. sp. 
Subdepressed; bluish or purplish black, dull, not shin- 
ing; legs piceous; labrum, palpi, and antennae rufo-piceous 
to rufous. Head : mandibular scrobe reaching about to apex 
of labrum ; labrum very deeply emarginate in front ; bottom 
of emargination would be acute if angle were not narrowly 
rounded ; antennae moderate, not quite reaching base of pro- 
thorax; front finely alutaceous. Prothorax large, just un- 
der a half wider than long, subquadrate, slightly narrowed 
behind ; basal angles broadly rounded ; margin rather strong 
at sides, less so basally; disk finely alutaceous, depressed
