Subgenital opercule short; cerci short, subequal, blunt. Type.—M. androsensis, n. sp. Malacomorpha androsensis, sp. nov. Type: Q ; Ke}- No. 4, North Side of South Bight, Andros, May 23, 1904, (Wheeler). [A. M. N. H.] Size small; form moderately robust. Head slightly depressed; eyes subovate, laterad, quite prominent, but slightly flattened, when viewed dorsad; ocelli minute, disposed in a triangle with the base cephalad and placed between the eyes; occiput with six longitudinal lines of small tubercles; antennas about as long as the head and thorax together, rather robust, the two proximal joints depressed, the second smaller than the first, third cylindrical and slightly longer than either the hrst or second, succeeding joints increasing in length with moderate regularity. Pronotum as long as the head, subquad- rate but slightly constricted cephalad; lateral margins elevated, cephalic and caudal margins subtruncate; median cruciform depression distinct, the trans- verse arm slightly cephalad of the middle. Mesonotum nearly half agajn as long as the pronotum, slightly broader caudad than cephalad, the increase in width being regular and continuous with that of the pronotum, a fine longitudi- nal median depression present in continuation of that of the pronotum. Meta- notum very slightly longer than the mesonotum, median longitudinal impressed line continued from the mesonotum; median segment subquadrate, slightly longer than the remainder of the metanotum. Abdomen slightly flattened ventrad, arched dorsad, tapering but robust and not slender, five proximal seg- ments more or less transverse, sixth subquadrate, seventh and eighth very slightly transverse; a median impressed area in continuation of the impressed thoracic line, bounded laterad by blunt carinae is distinct on the prox
