sima, thoracica, and Thcmistclla stccnstrupi of BovalHus, and //. 

 macro phthalma and hydroccphala of Vosseler. Hypcria promontorii 

 Stebbing, Thcmistclla stccnstrupi Bovallius, and Hypcria atlantica 

 X'osseler appear to be the male of the same species, which I believe to 

 be H. bcugalcnsis (Giles). Dana's figure of Hypcria jabrcii (United 

 States Exploring Expedition, vol. 14, Atlas, pi. 67, fig. 10, 1855) ^s 

 probably also a male of H. bcugalcnsis. Hypcria bcngalcnsis, a small 

 species, the males of which measure about 4 mm., is widely distributed 

 in the Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian Oceans. The present records are 

 the first for the West Indies. In the present material are several 

 ovigerous females measuring 3.5 mm.
