MONOGRAPH OF WEST INDIAN STAPHYLINIDAE 193 



large tuberculate punctures. Anterior face of front tibia with an 

 irregular series of setigerous punctures. Length, 12-14 mm. 

 Type locality. — "Columbia interiore." 

 Types. — Possibly in the Zoologische Museum, Berlin. 

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



Trinidad: (British Museum) ; Manzanilla (Blackwelder station 104B), Mount 

 Tucuche (Darlington, in M.C.Z. and U.S.N.M.), Mount St. Benedict (Weber, 

 in M.C.Z. ). 



South America: Vknezueh^-a (Briti.sh Mu.seum), Colomria (Erichson, 1840; Lacor- 

 daire, 1854; Notman, 1925; British Museum). 



[Central America: Costa Rica (Notman, 1925), Mexico (Cand&ze, 1861).] 



Specimens examined. — I have examined four specimens in the 

 British Museum, three from the Museum of Comparative Zoology, 

 and eight collected by me in 1935-37. 



Remarks. — The Costa Rican examples recorded by Notman have 

 been examined in the United States National Museum. They differ 

 rather strongly from my specimens in their coarse clypeal puncta- 

 tion, and I believe them to be distinct. My examples seem to agree 

 closely with ones in the British Museum from Colombia and 

 Venezuela. 



The larval example recorded from Mexico by Candeze is certainly 

 very doubtfully referable to this species. 



I collected these specimens from a very rotten log in a damp 

 situation.
