MONOGRAPH OF WEST IXDIAX STAPHYLINIDAE 379 



United States National Museum and seven in the Museum of Com- 

 parative Zoology. 

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



Hispaniola: Haiti. Konskoff (Dozipr, in U.S.N.M.), swamps north of Dessalines 

 (Darlington, in M.C.Z. and U.S.N.M.), Miragoane (Darlington, in M.C.Z. 

 and U.S.N.M.), Etang Ladiaux (Darlington, in M.C.Z. and U.S.N.M.), Ennery 

 (Darlington, in M.C.Z.). 



Puerto Rico: Humacao (Diaz, in U.S.N.M. ). 



Specimens examined. — I have seen only the 15 types. 



Remarlis. — This is a very distinct species because of its shining 

 integuments and large size. It is distinguished from all other species 

 by its male characters; from all but favlpes and darlingfoni by its 

 size. P. favipes has the integuments sculptured; darJingtoni has the 

 elytra reduced and appressed. 



I have no record of the habits of this species. 



3. PINOPHILUS CUBANUS, new species 



Descripfion. — Piceous, tip of abdomen rufous. Head without very 

 large punctures, with rather small punctures sparse and leaving 

 smooth areas, and w^ith sparse minute punctulae; surface shining. 

 Pronofmn longer than broad; punctures as on head, separated by 

 at least half their diameters along disk, very sparse at sides, the 

 intervals smooth and shining, and with occasional punctulae; with 

 irregular median stripe impunctate but with some punctulae. Elytra 

 with rather strong punctures u.sually separated by less than their 

 diameter by flat intervals ; without ground sculpture. AbdoTnen with 

 rather coarse and dense punctures often excavated behind; surface 

 somewhat alutaceous but without distinct sculpture. Male, unknown. 

 Female., sternites unmodified. Length 12 mm. 



Type locality. — Cuba, Cayamas. 



jy;;^.,._Holotype, female, U.S.N.M. No. 52515, collected by E. A. 

 Schwarz; one paratype, female, in the Museum of Comparative 

 Zoology. 



Records. — The follow^ing are the records known to me: 



Cuba: Cayamas (Schwarz, in U.S.N.M.), Soledad (Darlington, in M.C.Z.). 



Specimens examined. — I have seen only the two types. 



Rem/irks. — This species diifers from danforthi in its smaller size 

 and sparse punctation of the pronotum. It probably also differs 

 in the character of the male, at present unknown. 



I have received no record of its habits. 



4. PINOPHILUS TRINITATIS, new species 



Description. — Piceous, apex of abdomen rufous. Head wnthout 

 very large punctures, Avith small punctures rather sparse and a few
