Calocosmus chevrolati Fisher Fig. 7a-b; Map 3

Diagnosis.

This species is variable with regard to the presence or absence of dark maculae at the elytral base and or humerus. It is similar to Calocosmus hispaniolae in size and proportions, but the apical black elytral macula is matte and lacks the metallic purple iridescence that is present in Calocosmus hispaniolae . This region is also very pubescent and punctate while in Calocosmus hispaniolae , large areas are devoid of pubescence and punctation. It is somewhat similar to Calocosmus rawlinsi , but differs in having punctures in the apical dark portion of the elytron and in having the femora fulvous (dark reddish-brown to black in Calocosmus rawlinsi ).

Notes.

This species, previously known only from Cuba, is here recorded for Hispaniola, a new island record. Haiti and the Dominican Republic represent new country records.
