form of the supra anal plate is closer to that of thunbergii accord- 

 ing to his figure. Another consideration in favor of uniting the 

 two names is that the above-mentioned specimens, representing 

 both forms, were taken at the same locality and on the same day.

This is the first record for this species from the Bahaman group. 



* This locality is very probably erroneous, as the species bas only been re- 

 corded from the Antilles since the original description. The unnamed description 

 given by Brunner (Nouv. Syst. Blatt., p. 383) was taken from a specimen from 

 Porto Rico.
