Genus Jamaicana Brunner. 

 Jamaicana Brunner, Mon. PseudophylL, pp. i6, 146 (1895). 



The present genus is characteristic of the Island of Jamaica, West 

 Indies, where it is represented by at least three species. Two of these 

 have been described heretofore; while the third is now characterized.

Orth., II, p. 322 (1906). 



There are several specimens, male and female, of this species at 

 hand. They come from the Island of Jamaica, and form part of the 

 Carnegie Museum, Accession No. 2306. 



89. Jamaicana subguttata Walker. 

 Meroncidius subguttalus Walker, Cat. Dermap, Salt. B. M., Ill, p. 445 (1870). 

 Jamaicana vittata Brunner, Mon. PseudophylL, p. i47 (1895); Kirby, Syn. Cat. 



Orth., II, p. 322 (1906). 



The Jamaica material at hand also contains several specimens which 

 belong to subguttata of Walker. The females average much darker 



4 An additional species is included in the genus by Kirby (Syn. Cat. Orth., II, 

 p. 322), but I have not included it here since it is not native to Jamaica.
