Holotype $ (Museum of Comparative Zoology no. 19513) 
from Cinchona Jamaica, 5,000 ft., Jan., C. T. Brues; 11 
paratypes (American Museum and M. C. Z.) from the same 
locality, Feb. 26. 
In Chaudoir’s tabulation of Colpodes (1. c.) this species 
would fall nearest to C. sphodroides Chd. and C. pristony- 
choides Chd. of Mexico, but it is much more slender than 
either, with a relatively larger head, as shown by compari- 
son with our small series of sphodroides from “Biologia” 
material. It is very similar indeed to Colpodes Iherminieri 
Chd., but the metepisterna are much shorter, the head re- 
latively larger, and the elytra more opaque than in that 
species. 
Colpodes macer n. sp. (PI. 5, fig. 7.) 
Elongate; rather depressed; rufo-testaceous (immature) 
to piceous, appendages scarcely paler; upper surface finely 
alutaceous. Head very elongate ; eyes rather large but less 
prominent than usual in genus; antennae slender, middle 
joints about three times as long as wide; mentum at mid- 
dle of emargination with a long slender tooth, pointed or 
very narrowly truncate at apex. Prothorax (by measure- 
ment) as long as wide, but appearing longer ; sides rather 
widely reflexed; basal angles obtuse, narrowly rounded; 
disk with fine median longitudinal line and broad 
vague basal and apical transverse impressions, also with 
lateral impression on each side from near basal angles for- 
ward and outward to in front of middle. Elytra elongate, 
prolonged and independently subangulate apically ; margin 
broadly, slightly sinuate near apex; striae entire, rather 
deep, impunctate ; intervals slightly convex, third with three 
inconspicuous punctures. Inner wings vestigial; metepis- 
terna short. Tibiae not canaliculate externally; tarsi sul- 
cate, sulci widely separated, fifth joint not ciliate, fourth 
not lobed externally on middle and hind feet ; male anterior 
tarsi slightly dilated. Length 13-15 mm.
