[99] REVIEW OF TNE SCIAZNID&. A441 
regards Eques punctatus is intermediate between Hques acuminatus and 
Eques lanceolatus. 
A third species of the subgenus Pareques was obtained by Professor 
Gilbert at Panama, but the types were destroyed by fire before a de- 
scription could be published. 
Northern specimens of this species (Charleston, Pensacola, Key 
West) are much more plainly colored than the ordinary West Indian 
form. We propose for such the varietal name of Hques acuminaius wm- 
brosus, taking as our type a specimen from Charleston sent us by Mr. 
Charles C. Leslie. 
Of the ordinary striped form we have examined specimens in the 
museum at Cambridge from Rio Janeiro, Porto Rico, St. Thomas, and 
Sombrero. Our description of var. acuminatus is especially drawn from 
No. 563, M. C. Z., from the island of Sombrero.
