SPECIES ERRONEOUSLY RECORDED. aU 
but it is evidently a Tantilla. The type of D. tem poralts is referable to Urotheca 
lateristriga. Both examples doubtless came from Central America and not 
Cuba as Cope records. 
8. URotTHECcCA puMERILIT Bibron. 
Only known from Cuba through the collections sent to Paris by Ramon 
de la Sagra. Never since that time has the species been found in Cuba. The 
other species of the genus are all from the mainland. Prof. de la Torre tells 
us that a number of species of molluscs from the Central American mainland 
were reported as coming from Cuba by d’Orbigny, also from the collections of 
de la Sagra. Evidently de la Sagra shipped material from the mainland to 
Paris with his Cuban collections and as these bear no definite localities in the 
published accounts it is quite likely that no label was sent with any of the speci- 
mens and that it was simply assumed that all came from Cuba. 
We suspect that possibly the reverse occurred with the collections of More- 
let, who gathered material first in Cuba, then went to Central America, whence 
probably all was sent to Europe. Thus the Cuban species Crocodylus rhombifer 
and Tropidophis semicincta may have been carried to Central America and 
possibly these appear now as Crocodylus moreleti and Tropidophis moreleti from 
Central America, where they do not seem to be found by recent collectors. 
Regarding the latter possibility ef. Stejneger (Proc. U. S. N. M., 1917, 53, Ds 
281). 
9. PHYLLOBATES BICOLOR Bibron. 
This species so beautifully figured by Bibron in the Histoire of de la Sagra 
has never been discovered in any collection made in Cuba since de la Sagra’s 
time and it certainly appears as if the history of this species is the same as that 
of Urotheca dumerilit. 
10. Buro martinis (Linné). 
Meerwarth records a specimen from Cuba and tersely remarks that it is 
typisch. No great surprise if he really had marinis which is not found in Cuba 
(Mitth. Natur. mus. Hamb., 1901, 18, p. 40). 
11. Hemimacryius Masoura (Moreau). 
This species has a somewhat different history from those preceding. It is 
one which has been carried far and wide through tropical America from Africa,
