XVIII. A list of the Clavicorn Coleoptera of St. Vincent 
Grenada, and the Grenadines. By G. C. CHAM-

{Read October Sth, 1898. ] 
THE Clavicorn Coleoptera collected by Mr. H. H. Smith 
in St. Vincent, Grenada, and the Grenadines, under the 
auspices of the Royal Society and the British Association, 
have been partially worked out by M. A. Grouvelle of 
Paris. He has already published descriptions of two 
genera and seventeen species, [Notes from the Leyden 
Museum, xx. pp. 35—48 (1898)], and it is proposed here 
to give a complete list of the insects named by him. 
These belong to the families Nitidulidee, Trogositide, 
Oolydiidee, Rhysodid, Cucujide, Cryptophagide, Mono- 
tomide, Mycetophagide, Dermestidz, Byrrhidze, and Par- 
nide. The two new genera appertain to the last-mentioned 
family. The Silphidz, Phalacride, and Scaphidiide, and 
some few species of Cryptophagide, Latridiidz, Byrrhide, 
and Dermestide, have still to be dealt with. The Tricho- 
pterygide, and some of the Corylophide, have been 
‘described or noticed by the late A. Matthews [Ann. and 
Mag. Nat. Hist. (6) xiii. pp. 334—342, (1894)]. A list of 
the Histeridee has been furnished by Mr. G. Lewis. It 
may be noted that M. Grouvelle in his paper (loc. cit. 
p. 35) has by some inadvertence stated that the specimens 
belong to the Cambridge Museum: this is quite a mis- 
take, the collections being really the property of the West 
India Committee, who hand them over to the British 
Museum as soon as they are worked out. The new 
species that have been described from Mr. Smith’s 
captures are marked with an asterisk.
