MONOGRAPH OF WEST IXDIAN STAPHYLINIDAE 69 



of two short longitudinal ones; with obsolescent punctures, a little 

 more distinct basally, but very shallow ; without distinct ground sculp- 

 ture. Elytra with very coarse punctures separated by one-half their 

 diameter or less by fairly flat intervals; without distinct ground sculp- 

 ture. Length, 3 to 3"|4 nim. 



Type locality. — Haiti, northeastern foothills of Morne La Hotte, 

 elevation 3,000 to 4,000 feet. 



Types. — Holotype and one paratype in Museum of Comparative 

 Zoology, one paratype in the United States National Museum (No, 

 52483) , collected by Dr. P. J. Darlington on October 12, 1934. 



Records. — The following is the only record known to me: 

 Hispaniola: Haiti, Moriio La Hotte (Darliugton, in M.C.Z. and U.S.N.M.). 



Specimens examined. — I have seen only the three types. 



Remarks. — This species is readily distinguished from impunctus 

 and ohsolescens by the size of the elytral punctures. It is also dis- 

 tinct from ohsolescens by its obsolete pronotal depressions, and frum 

 impunctus by the proportions of the pronotum and its size. 



I have received no record of the habits of this species. 



11. CARPELIMUS IMPUNCTUS, new species 



Description. — Black. Head with two moderate depressions be- 

 tween the antennal ridges; eyes separated from base by about half 

 their length. Pronotum one-fifth wider than long, sides and anterior 

 angles not tuberculate; disk with a large arcuate transverse basal 

 depression and two very feeble longitudinal ones united with it ; with- 

 out distinct punctures or sculpture but minutely and irregularly 

 punctulate. Elytra moderately coarsely and rather densely punctate ; 

 without distinct ground sculpture. Length, 2% to 2% mm. 



Type locality. — Jamaica. 



Types. — Holotype and four paratypes, U.S.N.M. No. 52468, col- 

 lected by H. G. Hubbard. 



Records. — The following is the onl}' record known to me : 



Jamaica: (Hubbard, in U.S.N.M.). 



/Specimens examined. — I have seen only the five types. 



Remarks. — This species can be distinguished from all other West 

 Indian species of Garpelimus by its virtually impunctate pronotum 

 and feeble longitudinal impressions. 



I have no record of its habits. 



12. CARPELIMUS OBSOLESCENS, new species 



Description. — Black, pronotum and elytra more or less rufescent. 

 Head with two very feeble depressions between the antennal ridges, 

 the latter very small; eyes separated from base by less than half their 

 length. Pronotum one-eighth wider than long; sides and angles not
