472 BULLETIN 18 2, UNITED STATES NATIONAL MUSEUM 



Type locality. — Grenada. 



Types. — In the British Museum. 



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



St. Vincent: (Cameron, 1922; British Museum; Cameron collection; U.S.N.M.). 

 Grenada: (Cameron, 1922; British Museum; Cameron collection; U.S.N.M. ; 

 Blackwelder station 355.) 



Specimens exanmied. — I have soon from the West Indies 30 ex- 

 amples in the British Museum, 6 in Dr. Cameron's collection, 7 In 

 the United States National Museum, and 1 collected by me in January 

 1936. (All but the last of these are from the original series.) 



Remarks. — This species appears to be distinct from laficollis by the 

 punctation of the elytra. It was described by Dr. Cameron as a 

 variety of antennalis Sharp but I have not been able to verify this. 

 For the present I believe it best to consider it as a distinct species, 

 although the characters mentioned by Dr. Cameron are quite insuffi- 

 cient to distinguish it from antennalis. 



My specimen was found under stones along a small stream.
