 Museum, 22 in the collection of Dr. Cameron, 6 from the ^luseum 

 of Comparative Zoology, 14 in the United States National Museum, 

 and 51 collected by me in 1935-37. 



Remarks. — This species has not been reported under Erichson's 

 name since the original description. The description seems to apply

 statement "tarsis . . . anticis leviter dilatatus." This is perhaps an 

 error, since the tarsus is rather stout and flattened beneath even in 

 these "undilated" forms. It belongs in the subgenus Stilocharis. 



This is a variable species, but I have not been able to find any 

 basis for dividing it. 



All specimens from the West Indies that I have seen labeled 

 infuseatus Erichson belong to this species, and if they are actually
