MONOGRAPH OF WEST INDIAN STAPHYLINIDAE 503 



sparsely submuricately punctate, and with indistinct transverse 

 strigulae. Length, 3 mm. 



Type locality. — South Carolina (Columbia). 



Types. — In the Museum of Comparative Zoology. 



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



Jamaica: Kingston ( Blackwelder station 378). 



Trinidad: Mayuro Bay (Weber, in M.C.Z. and U.S.N.M.), St. Augustine (Darling- 

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



North America: South Carolina (LeConte, 1880; Casey, 1906), Florida (Hub- 

 bard and Scliwarz collection, in U.S.N.M.). 



Specimens examined. — I have seen three s])ecimens from Jamaica 

 and one from Florida in the United States National Museum and 

 seven from the Museum of Comparative Zoology. 



Remarks. — I have been unable to distinguish the Jamaica and Trin- 

 idad specimens from the Florida example. None of these has been 

 compared with the LeConte type, but the identification is probably 

 correct. It can be recognized by the almost complete absence of 

 antennal grooves on the head. 



My specimens were collected under dead bark of logs. 



LXXXIII. Genus STENOLINUS Bierig 



Stenolinus Biebig, 1937, p. 273. 



Genotype. — S. m<ierothrichv.s Bierig (monobasic and original des- 

 ignation). 



Diagnosis. — Head and pronotum not densely umbilicately punctate; 

 antennal grooves parallel, ocular grooves present, oblique; labrum 

 somewhat expanded, with a narrow median emargination ; fourth 

 segment of maxillary palpus much shorter than third, very slender 

 and parallel, third segment inflated and somewhat depressed; last seg- 

 ment of labial palpus similar to maxillary; gular sutures converging 

 to middle, thence parallel and approximate; neck one-sixth as 

 wide as head; elytral suture beveled; prosternum with a large an- 

 terior sclerite; middle coxae narrowly separated; posterior coxae 

 contiguous. (From Bierig.) 



Remarks. — The original diagnosis gives characters sufficient to 

 place this genus in the key, but other characters of importance are 

 omitted. I can only guess at the position of the genus in our clas- 

 sification. 



Only one species is known, and no specimens have been available 

 to me. 



1. STENOLINUS MACROTHRICHUS Bierig 



Stenolinus mucrothrichus Bnsav,, 1937, p. 257, figs. 1-3. 



Descnption. — Rufotestaceous, elytra gradually nigrescent in 

 apical two-thirds. Head one-half longer than wide, the basal angles
