20 Psyche CMar - 
is suggestive of that of H. nigriventre. It probably belongs to 
that group of species. 
Homoschema buscki n. sp. 
Fig. 11 
From 2.5— 3.2 mm. in length, 1.7—2 mm. in width, convex, 
elytra very finely punctate ; yellowish or reddish with violaceous 
elytra ; interantennal area narrowly elevated and extending 
down a little in lower front, lower front flattish. 
Type. — Male, and 6 paratypes, U. S. N. M. Cat. No. 59198. 
Type locality. — S. Francisco Mts., Dominican Republic, col- 
lected Sept. 4—14, 1905, by August Busch. 
Other localities. — Blanton mine, north of San Cristobal, 
Dominican Republic, July 26, 1917, Harold Morrison, col- 
lector. 
Remarks. — The convex elytra and the long, gradually acu- 
minate aedeagus unlike any other in this group, distinguish this 
species. It is not closely related to the group that follows, which 
is also composed of large convex species. 
Homoschema latum n. sp. 
Fig. 16 
About 3 mm. in length, 1.6 mm. in width, convex, elytra very 
faintly and finely punctate, reddish or yellowish with violaceous 
elytra. Head with interantennal area convex and extending 
down in lower front, a depression on either side below antennal 
sockets. 
Type. — Male, U. S. N. M. Cat, No. 59199. 
Type locality. — Upper Yara Valley, Cuba, collected Oct. 18, 
1928, on weeds and grasses by L. C. Scaramuzza. 
Remarks. — The broad, convex elytra and the short, wide 
aedeagus distinguish this species. It is closely related to the 
three following species from Haiti, Puerto Rico and St, Croix,
