SEPT. 15, 1947  BLAKE: NEW EUMOLPID BEETLES FROM WEST INDIES  315

described from Cuba and the second West Indian species with entire and not angulate or toothed sides to the prothorax. There is a suggestion of angularity in some of the specimens, and it is possible that it may be developed still further in some individuals. The toothing on the hind femora is distinct, but only faint on the other femora. Like most of the species of the genus, the female shows irregular nodulation on the sides of the elytra. Compared with A. turquinensis, A. acuñai is smaller and paler and has less distinctly toothed femora and a quite differently shaped aedeagus.
