Type locality. — Cuba.

Specimens examined. — I have seen 45 examples in the British 

 Museum, 8 in Dr. Cameron's collection, 14 from the Museum of Com- 

 parative Zoology, 4 in the United States National Museum, 1 in the 

 American Museum of Natural History, and 43 collected by me during 

 1935-37. 



Remarhs. — Part of the specimens in the British Museiun were 

 placed under the name Trogophlocus me/nnonius Erichson. This 

 species is otherwise known only from the Mediterranean area and 

 lappears to me to be distinct in details of punctation. 



My specimens were taken from under stones and on mud banks 

 along streams and ponds, from partly submerged debris in a stream, 

 and flying at dusk.
