We may mention about this new genus what CASEY says of Trimytini: "the genera of this tribe differ among themselves in very much the same way and to nearly the same extent as those of the Eurymetoponini. .. In geographic range the two tribes coincide closely, except that the Trimytini do not seem to invade the true Pacific coast faunal region, and they also possess a similar corporeal habitus". This points to a great antiquity of both of these tribes and the deep differences existing among the various genera already known. The present new genus, together with Paraguania described by the present author from two peninsulas of North-Western Venezuela and Eastern Colombia, should represent two very old relict elements of Trimytini. These were able to reach the Antilles (Cuba) and the shores of old South America, when this land had quite a different form than the present one, prior to the presence of the Epitragini genus Tapinocomus which has been able to reach the three Dutch Leeward Islands, Curacao, Bonaire and Aruba, united to South America until recent times. Trientoma kaszabi sp. n. (Fig. 5) Black, palpi ferrugineous, last two articles of antennae brownish-ferrugineous. Very convex, dull (different from T. varvasi), completely smooth with exception of a few small, scattered points on side of pronotum towards base, and an extremely fine, scarcely perceivable punctation on head. At sides of forehead a few longitudinal fine furrows present, different from those of T. varvasi where same occupying most of forehead and vertex (Figs 6-7).—C 1 y p e u s relatively flat, anteriorly free,
