BARBADOS-ANTIGUA REPORTS 15 
of the Hawkins Estate where both nymphs and adults were 
taken on several occasions during June. 
Localities and collecting dates for Antigua are as follows: 
Monk’s Hill, one specimen, June 24; Golden Grove, low-lying, 
uncultivated field, June 26; Falmouth, July 1; vicinity English 
Harbor, July 12. 
The species was first described from the island of St. Vincent. 
Arvelius albopunctatus (deGeer)

From Barbados I have two adult males, four females and 
several nymphs in the third instar, all taken on the Hawkins 
Estate from a species of Solanum, which is common along the 
bluffs where some moisture is retained by the trees and vegeta- 
tion. (See Plate II, Fig. 1) It appears to be an uncommon 
species on the island and is not found out in the dry, sun-baked 
fields. But two specimens, a male and a female, were taken at 
Antigua. I am indebted to Dr. J. C. Hutson of the Imperial 
Department of Agriculture for two additional specimens taken 
on the island of St. Vincent in November and December. 
In life, the general color above is bright green, with a narrow 
transverse band across the anterior third of the pronotum light 
yellow; this color extends out over the basal portion of the 
humeral spines, which are tipped with green. There are a few 
white calloused spots on the hemelytra, scutellum and basal one- 
half of the pronotum, among which are sparsely placed minute 
black dots. My specimens show little tendency to vary in these 
respects. Unfortunately, the color fades on drying, when the 
insect assumes a yellowish green appearance, the black dots, 
somewhat variable in abundance, standing out rather conspicu- 
ously thereon. 
This form is widely distributed in the Neotropical region, 
occurring from Southern United States south through Mexico 
and several South American states into Argentine. It is also 
recorded from Cuba, Haiti, Jamaica, Grenada, St. Vincent and 
Trinidad.
