MONOGRAPH OF WEST INDIAN STAPHYLINIDAE 397 



Type locality. — "Columbia . . . , IMexico . . ." Of trimdadensis, 

 Caparo, Trinidad. 



Types. — In cither the Hope Museum, Oxford, or the Zoologisclie 

 Museum, Berlin. Of trinidadensis, presumably in collection of Dr. 

 Bernhauer. 



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



Grer.ada: (British Museum). 



Trinidad: Caparo (Bernhauer, 1915, as trinldadensis ; Scheerpeltz, 1933, as 

 same; British Museum), Manzanilla (Blackwelder station 103A), 



South America: Colombia (Erichsou, 1840; Sharp, 1885; Bernhauer aud Schu- 

 bert, 1914), Venezuela (Bernhauer and Schubert, 1914). 



Central America: Mextco (Erichson, 1840; Sharp, 1885, with doubt; Bernhauer 

 and Schubert, 1914). 



Specimens examined. — I have seen 11 examples from the West Indies 

 in the British Museum and 2 collected by me on December 18, 1935. 



licmwks. — The examples in the British Museum from Grenada were 

 labeled c7'ibricoUis and the one from Trinidad trlmdadensis. I am 

 \mable to find any difference between these or between the original 

 descriptions. Brazilian examples of crihricoUis also seem to be the 

 same. This species is readily distinguished from the other West 

 Indian species by its coloring. 



My examples were found in rotting cocoa pods.
