720 STAPHYLINIDA. 
Var. minor, magis nitidus, paullo subtilius punctatus. 
Lispinus insularis, Chevy. & Fauv. Aun. Soc. Ent. Fr. 1863, p. 442°; Notices ent. i. p. 49 *,

mingo 3 4, Cuba 34, 
I think it more than probable that L. insularis is only a small form of L. granadensis, 
though I have only seen one exponent, and that a not very satisfactory one, from our 
region ; the larger form appears to be the least rare of our Lispini. 
7. Lispinus planus. 
Lispinus linearis, Fauv. (nec Er.), Bull. Soc. Linn. Normand. ix. p. 51+; Notices ent. ii. p. 47°. 
Lispinus planus, Sharp, Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond. 1876, p. 416°. 
Hab. Mexico, Teapa (Pilate }*).—Soutn America, Colombia !?, Amazons valley °. 
A single example—one of Fauvel’s types—is all I have seen from our region, and it 
is apparently conspecific with Amazonian specimens. In ‘ Notices ent.’ vii. p. 13, Fauvel 
refers Leconte’s L. obscurus to this species as a synonym, but from the remarks he 
makes it is probable it may be distinct. 
8. Lispinus anguinus. 
Lispinus anguinus, Fauv. Bull. Soc. Linn. Normand. ix. p. 54°; Notices ent. ii. p. 50°. 
Hab. Mexico, Teapa (Pilate 1*).—Antiturs, Santo Domingo (Sallé ! 2). 
I have seen no example from our region of this distinct species. 
9. Lispinus fauveli. 
Lispinus tenellus, Chevr. & Fauv. (nec Er.), Ann. Soc. Ent. Fr. 1863, p. 443°; Fauv. Notices ent. 
li. p. 53°. 
Depressus, subnitidus, nigricans; prothorace, elytris antennisque piceis, harum basi pedibusque testaceis ; 
abdominis apice rufescente ; parcius omnino subtilissime punctulatus. 
Long. 3 millim. 
Hab. Mexico 1, Teapa (Pilate, in coll. Chevrolat), Cordova (Sallé); Britisn Hon- 
puras, R. Hondo (Blancaneaux); Guatemata, near the city, Zapote, El Tumbador 
(Champion).—CotomBt1a! ?.—ANTILLES, Cuba ! 2. 
I do not think it at all probable that this insect is the species described by Erichson 
under the name of L. tenellus, and I therefore give it a new name. We have received 
altogether nearly two dozen examples of this insect, representing four races or possibly 
distinct species.
