these tending to be connected along the suture but not along the 
sides. Most of the head and prothorax brown, elytra with base to 
transverse impression, a midband and an oblique subapical band 
brown, these connected at least narrowly along suture; subapical 
band paler in part of the series. Rest of elytra, legs, palpi, antennal 
segments 1 & 2, and usually labrum, mandibles except for tips, and 
head adjacent to antennal insertions luteous. Dark midband and 
subapical band not reaching side margins. Underside and abdomen 
pale brown. Head and prothorax densely, finely punctured. Tegmen 
of $ genitalia very slender and tapering almost evenly to narrow tip. 
Holotype 2.68 mm. Head 42/56,49. Eyes 25/18, 36 apart, 15 
from base, which is subtruncate with a shallow median impression, 
the temporal angles broadly rounded. Disc evenly convex, shiny, 
but punctures ca. 2 apart and broader than intervals. Antennal 
segments 1-2 pale, 1 heavier than usual; segments 18/11,9/5/ 12/5, 
13/5, 15/5, 17/6, 15/6, 14/6, 13/7, 13/7, 18/7, base to apex. Pro- 
thorax 52/22,47,37,42; punctures very dense, 2 apart, intervals very 
narrow, especially in back half. Elytra 175/69,95, with distinct 
omoplates and postbasal impression; punctures small, ca. 2 apart, 
intervals flat and about as wide as punctures; setae moderately 
dense, decumbent, 4, part slightly less decumbent, 5; tactile setae ca. 
6. Legs simple; visible sternum 5 truncate. 
Holotype, <5, rep. dom.: Constanza to Jarabacoa (2-4000', Aug., 
38, P. J. Darlington) in MCZ. Paratypes: rep. dom.: same data 
(2(5), foothills of Cordillera Central (S. of Santiago, 1^). Haiti: 
N.E. foothills of La Hotte (2-4000', 1(5). The last locality is almost 
the same as where one subtilis was collected. All collected by P. J. 
Darlington in Oct., 1934, and June and Aug. 1938. All specimens 
are fully winged, and apparently capable of flight.

Generally similar to subtilis but smaller, 2.22-2.53 mm, elytral 
markings darker, median elytral markings nearly or quite a com- 
plete band in Cuban individuals, interrupted at suture in those from 
Jamaica. Head slightly more truncate and deeply punctured, anten- 
nae not unusually slender. Unique in having the apex of the $ 
tegmen nearly truncate, with a median point. Cuban specimens are 
so similar to macgillavryi Buck that females cannot be identified.
