MONOGRAPH OF WEHT INDIAN STAPHTLINIDAE 127 



St. John: (Ericbson, 1840). 



Guadeloupe: (Fleutiaux and Sall6, 1889; Leng and Mutchler, 1914, as fauveli; 



A.M.N.H.). 

 St. Vincent: (British Museum). 

 Grenada: (British Museum). 

 South America: Colombia (Erichson, 1840; Fauvel, 1863, 1865; Sharp, 1887; 



etc.), Venkzuela, Colombia, Dutch Guiana, Brazil, Argentina (Fauvel, 



1878; Scheerpeltz, 1933), Venezuel.\ (Fauvel, 1865, as flavipennis). 

 Central America: (Fauvel, 1863, 1865, 1868, 1878), Costa Rica (Nevermaun 



collection, in U.S.N.M.), Guatemala, Mexico (U.S.N.M.), Mexico (Sharp, as 



fauvcli), Mexico. British Honduras, Guatemala (Sharp, 1887, as fauveli), 



Mexico (Fauvel, 1865, as flavipennis) . 

 North America: Florida, Texas, Arizona, Geoegia, North Carolina, West

as tenuis; Hamilton, 1895; Slosson, 1905; U.S.N.M.). 



Siyecim-ens examined. — From the West Indies I have seen 19 

 examj^les in the British Museum, 6 in the American Museum of 

 Natural History, 1 in the JSIuseum of Comparative Zoology, 14 in 

 the United States National Museum, and 9 collected by me in 1935-37. 



Remarks. — L. fauveli Sharp appears to be a synonym of 

 teneUus Erichson as indicated above. The type of fauveli in the 

 British Museum appears to be inseparable from a Cuban example 

 in the Chevrolat collection (which was probably the basis for 

 Fauvel's record). I can separate neither of these from my speci- 

 mens from Cuba, Jamaica, and Puerto Rico. Erichson's series very 

 likely contained more than one species, but uritil the type can be 

 examined (or a lectotype or neotype chosen) I shall consider the 

 West Indies species to be the true tenellus of Erichson. These 

 specimens differ in no way from the original description, though it 

 is not sufficiently detailed to enable me to disthiguish this species 

 definitely among those now befoi'e me. 



L. flavipennis Fauvel and L. tenuis LeConte have been listed as 

 synonyms of L. tenellus Erichson (or fauveli Sharp). Specimens 

 of these species I have examined in various collections are the same 

 as tenellus. 



This species has been taken under bark of the silk cotton and other 

 trees.
