New Records and Species of Neotropical Bark Beetles

rhis species superficially resembles incortvertiens Schedl. except for the declivity which is more nearly like that of parallelocollis Eggers. The general outline of the pronotum and the arrangement of the asperities are much as in solitarius Schedl except marginal teeth are absent; the elytral declivity resembles that of parallelocollis, but it begins much nearer the base and is less strongly impressed on the lower third. Female.— Length 2.3 mm. (paratypes 2.2-2.3 mm.). 2.6 times as long as wide; color reddish brown, the declivity darker. Frons weakly convex; surface reticulate, deeply, rather coarsely punctured; vestiture scanty. Pronotum 1.04 times as long as wide; widest on basal third; basal angles broadly rounded, middle third of sides weakly arcuate and converging slightly toward the semicircularly rounded anterior margin; summit at or slightly behind summit; asperities rather small, abundant, extending almost to base at lateral margin; posterior area mostly smooth and shining with obscure traces of reticulation
