MONOGRAPH OF WEST INDIAN STAPHYLINIDAE 67 



Tyi>c8. — Ilulotype in the United States National Museum, No. 

 52356, collected on January 24, 1936. 

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



Grenada: (Blackwelder station 155). 



Specimens examined. — I have seen only the holotype. 



Remarks.— Thi?, species may be recognized at once by the unique 

 elevations of the elytra and tergites, as well as by the shape of the 

 ]M-onoliiin and the form of the antennae. I have some doubts that 

 it is a tiuo Carpel imus but can find no obvious distinguishing feature 

 and know of no other genus to which it might be referred. 



The type was found along the edge of a stream.
