[December 
mens from Soledad, near Cienfuegos, Cuba. In Liebke’s 
key to the American Zuphium ( Revista Ent. 3, 1933, pp. 
461- ) haitianum runs to columbianum Chd., but the latter 
(which I have not seen) is evidently a pale species with 
only the head dark, and color is a rather constant character 
in this genus. 
Pseudomorpha caribbeana n. sp. 
Slender, parallel, very convex (even more so than in 
angustata Horn) ; castaneous, lower surface (except abdo- 
men) and appendages more rufescent; whole upper surface 
finely alutaceous under high power, merely silky under 
lower power, moderately shining. Head 7/10 width pro- 
thorax; front with transverse row of moderate, setigerous 
punctures between eyes, otherwise very finely, sparsely 
punctate; pre-ocular lobes moderate, more explanate than 
in angustata; clypeal suture very fine; antennse slender, 
reaching just beyond anterior coxae. Prothorax 2/5 wider 
than long; apex truncate except anterior angles slightly 
prominent; sides broadly, almost evenly arcuate, with fine 
margins; basal angles rounded; apex margined, base not; 
disk finely, sparsely punctate and pubescent; middle line 
excessively fine; base not impressed, baso-lateral impres- 
sions completely absent. Elytra probably no wider than 
prothorax (slightly distorted by pin), elongate; sides 
parallel ; apices rounded-truncate ; suture not elevated ; each 
elytron with 9 rows (beside the marginal fringe) of setig- 
erous punctures, no special rows coarser than others ; punc- 
tures so widely spaced in the rows that at first glance the 
elytra appear punctured at random ; surface otherwise im- 
punctate. Length 7.2 ; width 2.7 mm. 
Haiti: holotype, probably $ (M. C. Z. no. 22040), unique, 
from Port-au-Prince, May, 1927, G. N. Wolcott collector, 
received from Mr. Andre Audant. 
This is the first species of subfamily Pseudomorphinse to 
be known from the West Indies. It is a very distinct 
species. In Notman’s key to the species of Pseudomorpha 
(Proc. United States Nat. Mus. 67, 1925, Art. 14, pp. 14-15) 
the Haitian species runs to confusa Notman, but, as com- 
pared with the description of confusa , caribbeana is small- 
er ( confusa , 10.25 mm.), much more convex, with relative-
