more or less testaceous ; appendages pale testaceous. Head 
with a deep, oblique impressed line running forward from 
the inner margin of each eye ; eyes rather prominent ; front 
faintly alutaceous, with faint puncture at middle; mentum 
toothed. Prothorax rather subcordate, about a quarter 
wider than long; basal angles obtuse but distinct, preceded 
by a slight sinuation of the sides; basal foveae broad and 
vague, distinctly but variably punctate; disk with median 
line distinct, transverse impressions sub-obsolete, surface 
with faint silky alutaceous lustre. Elytra parallel, evenly 
conjointly rounded at apex; scutellar stria absent, striation

Holotype $ (Museum of Comparative Zoology no. 19530) 
and 8 paratypes from Soledad (near Cienfuegos) Cuba, 
June, Oct. 25-Nov. 23, some taken in flood debris; 1 speci- 
men in poor condition from Cuba, Poey Collection no. 597 
(Philadelphia Academy of Sciences) ; 2 paratypes from Rio 
Piedras, Puerto Rico, Sept. 8 and July, coll, by Alsina (1 re- 
turned to S. T. Danforth). 
This species is very similar to Brady cellus tantillus (Dej.) 
of the United States, but differs (as shown by comparison 
with specimens of tantillus in the Leconte Collection and 
with a series from Florida in my own collection) in being 
slightly broader, less shining, and with better defined pos- 
terior thoracic angles. It is even closer to B. nigrellus 
Bates of Mexico and Guatemala, of which there is a series 
of cotypes in the Museum of Comparative Zoology, but dif- 
fers in its uniformly duller lustre.

87. Acupalpus (Stenolophus) convexulus n. sp. 
Convex, moderately shining; nearly uniform piceous 
black; mouth parts, two basal joints of antennae, and legs 
testaceous; outer joints of antennae (last four missing)
