Fio:. Cryptoynatha nodiceps, Mshl. the head is much less deeply impressed and the tubercles are less conspicuous. Pronotum with a fine, transverse, curved, raised line just in front oP the scutellum, the entire surface closely and distinctly punctate. Elytra broadest before the middle, the punctation rather less close than on the pro- notum ; the epipleur'se sloping steeply inwards and with deep excavations for the anterior pairs of legs. Front tibiae with the exterior border angularly dilated in both sexes (omitted in the figure); tarsal claws simple. Length 2'16 mm. Trinidad: Cedros (C. W. Hewlett, F. W. Urich). Types S ? in the British Museum. The structure of the head and epistome, as well as the very distinctive coloration, will render this an easily recognizable species. The discal patch on the elytra varies somewhat, the included paler arens being often entirely dark and the outline of the whole patch more sharply defined. Described from six specimens. As in the case of Azya tnnitatis, Mr. Urich has found this species to be an effective check on the coconut scale in Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original London, Taylor and Francis, Ltd
