270 BARBOUR: ZOOGEOGRAPHY. 



nor Bryant, who collected in 1904 in northern Andi-os and about Mangrove Cay, 

 found this species. It is large and conspicuous among Sphaerodactyli. 



Carman suggests that this species may be related to his S. piduratus. It is 

 indeed very closely related, differing only in having five labials above and below, 

 and in not having the median head scales enlarged. as they are in S. piduratus. 



Sphaerodactylus grandisquamis Stejnegee. 

 Stejneger, Rept. U. S. nat. mus. for 1902, 1904, p. 602, fig. 51-52. 



This species, which had hitherto been confounded with S. macrolepis 

 Cunther, the type locality of which was St. Thomas, has been shown by Stejneger 

 to be perfectly distinct, yet to have close affinity with Ciinther's species. Stejne- 

 ger's species may easily be separated by its much larger dorsal scales. In its 

 distribution it is confined to Porto Rico and Vieques. 



Sphaerodactylus monensis Meerw.\rth.

 1902, 1904, p. 607. 



A species related to S. macrolepis Giinther and S. grandisquamis Stejneger, 

 and confined to Mona Island. 



Sphaerodactylus macrolepis Reinhardt & Lutken. 

 Reinhardt & LtJTKEN, Vid. meddel. nat. foren Kjobenli. for 1862, 1863, p. 174, 279. 



Originally described from St. Croix, St. Thomas, and Vieques, it was after- 

 ward confused with S. grandisquamis Stejneger. It is, so far as known, confined 

 to St. Croix and St. Thomas, since Stejneger found that Vieques individuals 

 belong with his Porto Rican species. The Museum has it from St. Thomas only. 



Sphaerodactylus sputator (Sparrman).

As I said when describing S. torrei, the name S. sputator (Sparrman) must be 

 applied to a Lesser Antillean species. Boulenger's only Antillean specimen that 

 could belong with this species came from the island of Antigua. Its occurrence 

 which he reports in Mexico and Venezuela would be completely out of accord 

 with everything known regarding the distribution of the many species of this 

 genus. Yet Reinhardt and Lutken (Vid. Middel. nat. foren. Kjobenh. for 1862, 

 1863, p. 277) record it from Haiti as well as from Venezuela. Individuals of 

 Sphaerodactylus, like other gekkoids, may be carried about accidentally. The 

 type locaUty was St. Eustatius for »S. sputator and Martinique for »S. fantasticus,
