ly narrowed in front, a trifle behind ; base % or more 
wider than apex; sides nearly evenly arcuate throughout; 
basal angles about right or a trifle obtuse ; disk moderately 
convex, not punctate;, middle line very fine, other impres- 
sions extremely vague or absent. Elytra only slightly 
(about 1/6) wider than prothorax, very convex; humeri 
distinct, denticulate ; sides straight, parallel or faintly 
diverging posteriorly for most of length, subapical sinua- 
tion and apices as in 12-striatus ; each elytron with 6 mod- 
erately deep, smooth, straight striae as in 12-striatus, 7th 
stria extremely faint; scutellar stria almost obsolete; inter- 
vals slightly convex, 3rd without dorsal punctures. 
Metepisterna and sides of metasternum very coarsely, first 
ventral coarsely, 2nd ventral and mesepisterna anteriorly 
much less distinctly punctate. Front tarsi $ about as in 
12-striatus, with 2nd joint about as long as wide. Length 
7. 5-8. 5; width 3. 1-3.6 mm. 
Haiti: holotype $ (M. C. Z. no. 22025) and 19 para- 
types from swamps north of Dessalines, Sept. 11 ; 3 para- 
types from Trou Caiman, Nov. 15-20; taken under cover in 
and beside swamps. 
Resembles S. duodecimstriatus (Chev.), to which it runs 
in Chaudoir’s monograph (Ann. Soc. Ent. France (6) 2, 
1882, pp. 485- ), but relatively a little broader especially 
posteriorly, with shorter prothorax and more convex elytra, 
and with weaker aeneous luster, characters which enabled 
me to distinguish the new species from 12-striatus even in 
the field. The two occurred together at Trou Caiman. 
The 3rd interval of each elytron is 2-punctate in 12-striatus, 
impunctate in palustris. 
Seleraophorus flavilahris cubamis n. subsp. 
S. flavilahris Dari. 1934, Psyche 41, 105 (not Dej.) 
Very similar to true flavilahris Dej., of which I now have 
171 specimens from Haiti and Jamaica (type locality: 
“Antilles”). Similar in variable, usually greenish or 
bluish, metallic color, highly polished surface, and im- 
punctate base and foveae of prothorax. Differs conspicu- 
ously in having the legs entirely testaceous ; the femora are 
dark in true flavilahris. The Cuban subspecies averages a 
little smaller, but not sufficiently to be significant if it were
