also similar except the legs either entirely (7 specimens) 
or with only the tibiae and apices of the femora (2 speci- 
mens) brown or blackish, while in typical marginicollis, of 
which I now have 28 specimens from the type locality 
(Soledad, near Cienfuegos, Cuba), the legs are always en- 
tirely pale testaceous. 
Haiti: holotype (M. C. Z. no. 22038) (with legs entirely 
dark) and 4 paratypes (3, legs entirely dark; 1, with only 
tibiae and apices of femora dark) from Ennery, Sept. 6-11 ; 
taken from piles of old flood debris beside the river ; addi- 
tional paratypes: 1, swamps north of Dessalines, Sept. 11; 
1, Miragoane, Oct. 30; 1, Camp Perrin, Oct. 9; 1, Etang 
Lachaux, Oct. 26. 
Zuphium haitianum n. sp. 
Normal Zuphium form ; piceous, a little more brownish 
on elytra, suture and medio-basal area of elytra and small 
vague sublateral stripes of prothorax usually faintly red- 
dish; abdomen (irregularly) and legs testaceous; mouth 
parts including labrum, and antennae rufo-testaceous. Head 
slightly (about 1/10) narrower than prothorax, shaped as 
in cubanum; front finely, not closely punctulate, finely 
alutaceous, more distinctly so on vertex; antennae with 
joints 5 to 8 twice or slightly more times long as wide. 
Prothorax barely (not over 1/10) wider than long, sides of 
apex slightly less oblique than in cubanum (i. e., prothorax 
more square shouldered) ; sides broadly arcuate anteriorly, 
strongly sinuate before the right or slightly acute posterior 
angles ; disk moderately convex ; middle line sharp, anterior 
transverse impression obsolete, posterior rather vaguely 
impressed; basal foveae deep, rounded; whole pronotum 
finely, closely punctate and finely alutaceous. Elytra about 
7/10 wider than prothorax, a trifle shorter and wider pos- 
teriorly than in cubanum; striae moderate; intervals slightly 
convex, rather finely roughened and alutaceous. Length 
(to apex elytra) 4. 0-4. 7 ; width 1.4-1. 6 mm. 
Haiti: holotype (M. C. Z. no. 22039) and 9 paratypes 
from Etang Lachaux, Oct. 26-27 ; taken by raking dead 
leaves from shady places into the water. 
Duller and much more finely punctate on head and pro- 
thorax than cubanum Liebke, of which we have 29 speci-
