114. Apenes lata n. sp. 
Also of the sinuata group, and so similar to the preceding 
(delicata) that a brief comparison will be sufficient for 
description. The form of lata is relatively broader ; color, 
sculpture, and marking similar. Prothorax much broader, 
a half or more wider than long (by measurement) . Size 
larger, ±7-8 mm. 
Holotype $ (American Museum) and 2 paratypes (1 in 
Museum of Comparative Zoology, no. 19535) from Man- 
grove Cay, Andros Island, Bahamas, May- June, 1917, W. 
M. Mann. I have also seen a specimen from Soledad (near 
Cienfuegos) Cuba, July 1, B. B. Leavitt, but the specimen 
is not at present available for description. 
A specimen of this species also has been sent to M. Ober- 
thur, who finds it different from anything in his collection. 
I had thought from Chaudoir’s description that it might be 
fasciata, described without locality, but M. Oberthiir writes 
that the type of fasciata has a more cordiform prothorax, 
and that the West Indian species is perfectly distinct. 
Apenes laevicincta n. sp. 
Form of sinuata group ; head and prothorax aeneous rufo- 
piceous, ground color of elytra nearly same; elytra each 
with humerus, a fragmentary oblique fascia at basal third, 
narrow lateral margin, and common subapical transverse 
fascia testaceous, also with a slightly oblique transverse 
shining black fascia common to both elytra just in front of 
subapical testaceous mark, also with faint dark spotting 
around anterior oblique fascia and on the ninth interval; 
lower surface mostly piceous, appendages and middle of ab- 
domen rufous or testaceous, base of femora slightly infus- 
cate. Head alutaceous and finely and sparsely punctate, not 
strigulose; antennae short, middle joints about as wide as 
long. Prothorax transverse, nearly a half wider than long 
(by measurement), subcordate; sides briefly sinuate before 
basal angles, which are minutely almost right ; disk alutace- 
ous and with fine sparse punctuation and indistinct trans- 
verse strigulation. Elytra finely striate, striae finely punc-
