MONOGRAPH OF WEST INDIAN STAPHYLINIDAE 133 



Records. — The following ai-e the records known to me : 



Trinidad: Port of Spain (Blackwelder station 109B). 



South America: Brazil (type; Sharp, 1876; 1887). 



Central America: Nicabagua (Sharp, 1887; British Museum). 



Specimens examined. — Eight examples, including the type, from 

 Central and South America in the British Museum, and one example 

 taken by me in Trinidad in 1935-37. 



Remarks. — My examination of the type of this species was ham- 

 pered by the way it is mounted under glass. I believe my single 

 specimen to be properly associated with this name, though the other 

 specimens in the Sharp series may be distinct. They were labeled 

 "var." by Sharp. 



My single example was taken from under bark of a large log 

 of the immortelle tree in company with numerous specimens of 

 L. striola. It seems to be amply distinct by characters that do not 

 vary in a large series of the latter species.
