[December 
ture almost at base 2nd stria ; first stria sometimes briefly 
obliterated near base, leaving 1 or 2 punctiform or linear 
impressions basally ; intervals slightly convex, not irregular 
nor interrupted. Abdomen with last 3 segments trans- 
versely grooved at base as usual, grooves subcrenate lat- 
erally; prosternal process strongly margined; mesepister- 
num with a cluster of punctures near middle, lower surface 
otherwise impunctate. Male with anterior tarsi moderately 
dilated, 4 joints of each biseriately squammulose. Length 
10.5-11.5; width 4.1-4.6 mm. 
Haiti: holotype $ ■ (M. C. Z. no. 22021) and 3 $ para- 
types from northeastern foothills La Hotte, 2,000-4,000 ft., 
Oct. 10-24 ; 1 $ paratype from north slope La Hotte itself, 
5,000 ft., Oct. 18 ; all under stones and logs in damp woods 
and coffee plantations. 
This species is very distinct from the two Dyschromus 
previously known from Haiti ( opacus Chd. and cupripennis 
Chd.), both of which we possess, in having the elytra with 
impressed striae and regular intervals. It is perhaps more 
like the Mexican chrysophanus Bates, known to me only by 
description, but the latter has an unmargined prosternal 
process and probably has shallower elytral striae. 
Loxandrus itmtans n. sp. 
Rather slender and subparallel, not much depressed ; 
black; antennae (especially basally), mouth parts and tarsi 
brownish testaceous; lower surface and legs brownish or 
rufo-piceous ; head and prothorax moderately shining, 
elytra dull, alutaceous in both sexes, but especially so in $ . 
Head about % width prothorax; mentum tooth broad, sub- 
truncate apically, slightly impressed along middle. Pro- 
thorax about 14 wider than long; sides slightly to moder- 
ately arcuate anteriorly, moderately narrowed and sinuate 
posteriorly before right posterior angles; margins very 
narrow, evenly reflexed; disk moderately convex; middle 
line fine but distinct except at base and apex; transverse 
impressions subobsolete; fine anterior submarginal line 
widely interrupted at middle; basal fovese linear, rather 
deep, at least 1/3 length prothorax; surface impunctate ex- 
cept vaguely punctate at middle near base. Elytra narrow 
and not much depressed, alutaceous, with fine, entire, mod-
