Psyche 
[June 
tulate, scutellar stria long; intervals nearly flat, alutaceous 
except in transverse black fascia which is smooth and shin- 
ing, third interval with two broadly impressed punctures 
almost on second stria (relation to striae probably variable) 
about a fourth from base and near middle. Length just 
over 5 mm. 
Holotype $ (American Museum) unique, from Port-au- 
Prince, Haiti, about 300 ft. altitude, Apr. 8-11, 1922. 
This species is at once distinguishable from all others of 
the sinuata group, including the two described above, and 
I think from all other Apenes too, by the black, shining 
fascia just preceding the subapical testaceous one. The 
alutaceous head and punctulate elytral striae further differ- 
entiate this species from the two preceding. 
115. Eucaerus insularis n. sp. 
Stout, convex; piceous, elytra with iridescent lustre; an- 
tennae with first six joints brown, seventh vaguely bicolored, 
outer joints whitish; palpi and legs irregular brownish 
yellow, posterior femora darker. Head alutaceous, anten- 
nae relatively stout, middle joints about three times as long 
as wide. Prothorax cordate, about four tenths wider than 
long (by measurement), sides sinuate before the obtuse but 
distinct posterior angles; disk alutaceous. Elytra shining, 
striae rather fine, entire, not punctate; intervals barely 
convex; third stria with inconspicuous setigerous puncture 
about a fourth from base, second stria with similar punc- 
tures near middle and about a fifth from apex. Inner 
wings vestigial. Male with one, female with two setae each 
side last ventral. Length -+-3 *4 mm. 
Holotype $ (Museum of Comparative Zoology no. 19536) 
from Soledad (near Cienfuegos) Cuba, June, probably 
taken in flood debris; 3 paratypes (United States National 
Museum) ( $ $ $ ) from Cayamas, Sta. Clara, Cuba, Jan. 
17 and Mar. 11, E. A. Schwarz. 
This species is very close to Eucaerus varicornis Lee., of 
which I have seen nine specimens, including the type, from 
South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, and Louisiana, 
but differs in having the antennae slightly stouter, the
