486 BULLETIN 182, UNITED STATES N-ATIONAL MUSEUM 



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



Cuba: Soledad (Darlington, in M.C.Z. and U.S.N.M.), Gran Piedra Range in 

 Oriente (Darlington, in M.C.Z.), Loma del Gato in Cobre Range, Oriente 

 (Darlington, in M.C.Z.). Uuenos Aires in Trinidad Mountains (Darlington, 

 in M.C.Z. and U.S.N.M.). 



Hispaniola: Haiti, Port-au-Prince (Wolcott and Audant, in collection of Service 

 Technique; R. J. Crew, in U.S.N.M.), Ennery (Darlington, in M.C.Z. and 

 U.S.N.M.), Po.stP Terre Rouge (Darlington, in M.C.Z.), Diquini (Mann, 

 in M.C.Z. and U.S.N.M.), St. Marc (Mann, in M.C.Z.) ; Dominic.\n REPxraric, 

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



St. Croix: (Blackwelder station 330; Beatty, in U.S.N.M.). 



Specimens examined. — I have seen the 3 types collected by me in 

 1936, 3 other examples from the Service Technique in Haiti, and 18 

 examples from the Museum of Comparative Zoology. 



Remarks. — This species is readily distinguished from humeralis 

 by its greater size and from most other West Indian species by the 

 testaceous elytral humerus. There is some variation in the extent of 

 the serial arrangement of the elytral punctures. I am unable to dis- 

 tinguish the Cuban and Haitian examples from the St. Croix types. 



The types were collected from dung and manure.
