Selenophorus latior n. sp. 
Rather stout, not especially convex; brownish black, not 
iridescent and without evident metallic lustre; appendages 
rufo-testaceous, antennae darker. Head with front impunc- 
tate but finely alutaceous; madibular scrobes short. Pro- 
thorax about a half wider than long (by measurement), 
scarcely narrowed posteriorly, so that it appears unusually 
wide; basal angles rounded but not especially broadly so; 
median line distinct, transverse impressions obsolete; disk 
alutaceous, more obviously so in basal fovese, in which there 
are very indistinct traces of punctuation. Elytra with 
humeri angulate; striae moderate, inpunctate except for 
rather small serial punctures on usual striae ; scutellar stria 
present ; margin only slightly sinuate before apex ; intervals 
alutaceous, glabrous. Apex of prosternum not margined. 
Hind tarsi rather long. Male with front and middle tarsi 
moderately dilated and biseriately squamulose below. 
Length ±6 mm. 
Holotype $ (American Museum) from Haina, Santo 
Domingo, G. N. Wolcott; 1 9 paratype (United States Na- 
tional Museum) from Pt. Congrejos, Puerto Rico, Feb. 8,

This species is easily recognized by the unusual width of 
the prothorax at base, as well as by other characters given

Selenophorus nonseriatus n. sp. 
Convex, glabrous, shining; blackish, with more or less 
strong elytral iridescence; appendages, labrum, and tip of 
last ventral testaceous ; mandibles, elytral suture and lateral 
margins (very narrowly) somewhat rufescent. Head shin- 
ing, finely; bi-impressed in front; antennae rather stout; 
mandibular scrobes moderate. Prothorax subcordate, about 
a half wider than long; sides rounded anteriorly, broadly 
but slightly sinuate before the obtuse but distinct basal an- 
gles; lateral margin narrow; disk with transverse impres- 
sions and basal fovese vague, median line distinct, surface 
impunctate. Elytra with striae entire, moderately deep, faint-
