[December 
Jamaica: holotype (M. C. Z. no. 21992) and 3 paratypes 
from Blue Mt. Forest Reserve (main range Blue Mts.), 
5,000-6,000 ft., Aug. 17-19, 1934; under stones and chips in 
wet forest. Unfortunately all are $ $ . The species is very 
isolated, taxonomically. 
Colpodes subovalis n. sp. 
Slender anteriorly, but rather ventricose; piceous, lower 
surface and legs a little reddish, antennae and palpi testa- 
ceous, former infuscate on 3 basal joints; rather shining, 
elytra not duller. Head elongate and slender, less than 
% width prothorax ; eyes moderately prominent, genae 
oblique, not prominent ; anterior supra-ocular seta missing ; 
antennae slender, 7th joint reaching about to base pro- 
thorax ; mentum tooth broad, blunt or almost pointed. 
Prothorax rather small, 1/10 or less wider than long, sub- 
oval, slightly variable in outline, broadest at or behind 
middle; sides arcuate from base to apex or nearly straight 
and converging anteriorly and (less distinctly) posteriorly; 
basal angles broadly rounded, anterior angles better de- 
fined but scarcely prominent; margins rather narrowly ex- 
planate; posterior marginal seta a little before angle, an- 
terior missing ; disk, convex, impressed as usual, basal 
foveae moderately deep but not sharply defined, each with a 
vague depressed area extending forward nearly to apex; 
base and apex finely margined; surface slightly roughened 
basally but not distinctly punctate. Elytra much (about 
%) wider than prothorax, suboval, widest behind middle; 
sides straight and converging anteriorly; humeri broadly 
rounded ; margins slightly sinuate before apices, which are 
independently pointed but not much produced; striae deep, 
not punctate; intervals convex, 3rd 3-punctate as usual. 
Metepisterna with outer margins fully V 2 longer than an- 
terior ; mesepisterna somewhat punctate, lower surface 
otherwise impunctate. Tibiae not sulcate on outer edge; 
hind tarsi grooved each side above, less strongly internally, 
sulci not approximate, 4th joint emarginate, outer lobe 
much produced ; front tarsi not distinctly grooved. Length 
12.5-14; width 4. 2-4. 7 mm.
