c. 3200 ft., Feb. 1969, L. H. Herman Jr., B. C. and T. F. Hlavac 
collectors. This fragmented specimen, missing the antennal flagella, 
maxdlae, several legs and the apical abdominal segments, was collected 
dead under a stone along a forest trail. 
Description (diagnostic characters only). With the characteristics 
of the subgenus Antilliscaris (form as in Figs. 1, 2). Head: very 
large as compared to the relatively squat pronotum and elytra. An- 
tennae very long, extend to first abdominal sternite, length/width 
of segments 4-10 between 1.8-2. 3 (Fig. 12). Vertex : pair of clypeal 
and supraorbital setiferous punctures. With a deep, broad depression 
behind the eye and a. deep puncture at the posterior end of the scrobe. 
Lateroclypeus and antero-lateral halves of vertex with series of ir- 
regular situations. Prothorax : lateral grooves narrow but distinct 
with 3 pairs of setiferous punctures (4 on left side of paratype). 
Sternum without setiferous punctures, intercoxal spine with 12. Ely- 
tra: surface dull. Anterior: margin with small number of minute 
tubercles about 1/3 the width of those associated with punctures; 1 
pair of setiferous punctures in third interval, striae strongly im- 
pressed. Mesasternum with 2 setiferous punctures, metasternum with 
4. Abdomen: lateral portions of 1st and 2nd intersegmental sutures 
broadened and deepened to form a large fossa, sutures separating other 
segments slightly enlarged laterally. 
Measurments of holotype and paratype: Head: length 7.5-7. 1 mm, 
width 9. 5-7. 2 length/width 0.79-0.98; Mandible: length 7.O-5.7 ; 
Prothorax : length 5. 5-5.0, width 10.1-8.1, length/width O.54-O.62; 
Elytra: length 13.0-12.5, width 9. 3-7. 9, length/width 1.4-1.58; Total 
length (including peduncle) : 35-30 mm. 
Distribution : known only from the type series.

Description (diagnostic characters only). With the characteristics 
of the subgenus Antilliscaris , form as in Fig. 3. Head: antennae, 
relatively short, extend to posterior margin of prothorax, apical seg- 
ments squat, L/W of segments 4-10 less than 1.1 (Fig. 8). Vertex 
with 15 setiferous punctures including 2 pair of supraorbitals. Fater- 
oclypeus and anterolateral halves of vertex without series of irregular 
situations. Without a large depression behind eye and deep pit at 
posterior end of scrobe. Prothorax : lateral groove indistinct near
