Recorded from several of the West Indian Fig. 4.—Erginus castancus, sp. nov., femur IV, and palpus. PHALAXGIDA. Erginus castaneus sp. nova. Body above rich brown, a transverse whitish spot above coxae II, and a narrow whitish band on margin of scutum, just behind the pair of large tubercles; sometimes one or both of these markings lacking. Mandibles dark above on basal joint, elsewhere pale; palpi pale, sometimes faintly mottled on outer side, and dark on imderside of the last joint; legs more or less black- ish, but the trochanters and bases of femora pale yellowish, also pale on tarsi, on tips of tibiae, and on bases of metatarsi. Venter reddish brown. Body one and one half times as long as broad, moderately convex in middle, widest in front of coxse IV, tapering each way, anterior margin one third of greatest width. An- terior part of dorsum with a few granules outwardly behind eyes; beyond coxas III the dorsum is transversely granulate; a pair of larger, rounded granules in middle of the first band, and a pair of spine-like ones near margin, or in the third band; each segment beyond with a row of granules. Coxae granulate, more distinct on anterior margin of I, posterior margin of III, and general surface of IV. The ventral segments each with a row of small granules. Femora, patellae, and tibiae of the legs are roughened. The male has femur IV with a row of seven to nine compressed teeth above near tip, the highest one not the diameter of the segment; two rows of shorter teeth below and on inner side.
