64 BULLETIN 182, UNITED STATES NATIONAL MUSEUM 



Records. — The following are the records known to me : 



Cuba: Caimito del Guayabal (Bierig, 1935; Bierig, in U.S.N.M.), Laguna La 



Canao (Bierig, 1935), Cayajabos (Bierig, 1935), Rio Almendares (Bierig, 



1935.) (All these as se^tagonaUs.) 

 Jamaica: (Cameron, 1923; Scheerpeltz, 1933), Santa Cruz (Blackwelder station 



421), Black River (Blackwelder station 41G), May Pen (Blackwelder station 



425B). 

 St. Croix: (Blackwelder station 332). 



Specimens examined. — I have seen three examples in Dr. Cameron's 

 collection, one in the United States National Museum, and nine 

 collected by me during 1935-37. 



Remarks. — Although I have not compared directly any Cuban ex- 

 amples of sextagonalis with the type of sericeus, I have no doubt of 

 the identity of these two species, since a "cotype" of sextagonalis 

 received from Sr. Bierig is exactly similar to specimens I had pre- 

 viously compared with the type of senceus. 



This species is quite similar to heattyi and fuVuipes but seems to be 

 readily distinguishable from them by color and the details of 

 punctation. 



My specimens were taken from the muddy banks of ponds, from bat 

 guano, and flying at dusk.
