BARBADOS-ANTIGUA REPORTS 31 
Whether or not the allied forms described by Stal and Bruner 
under the specific names bartholomaea and sanctae-luciae are 
specifically distinct is doubtful. That one of them, at least, is 
synonymous with Drury’s species is very probable, since Bruner 
‘separates the females of both those forms diagnostically from 
linearis (which he places doubtfully as a synonym of bartholo- 
maea) by the character of the operculum not exceeding the apex 
of the abdomen, a character certainly belonging to the females 
of linearis in the present collection. Linearis, bartholomaea, 
guadeloupensis and sanctae-luciae may all represent one and the 
same species, or each may be specifically distinct. Before this 
question can be decided definitely more material from regions 
oceupied by them should be available for study, and the types 
of each should be seen where possible. As a commencement of 
the task of clarifying these matters a complete description of 
linearis as represented by the present topotypie material would 
have been drawn up except for the fact that all the specimens 
were preserved in spirits and were so shrunken and distorted 
in drying as to be rendered unsatisfactory for accurate 
description. 
The following note by Prof. Stoner evidently refers to this 
species : 
** Antigua, June 21, 1918. Vicinity Dockyards, English Har- 
bor. Vegetation extremely xerophytie on the surrounding hills 
with many harsh spiny plants. In such situations collected 
several walking-sticks (the natives call them god-horses) ; a large 
Schistocerca (?) and a small Acridiid were also taken.’’ 
Clonistria sp. 
There is a single female, apparently adult, in the collection 
bearing the same label as most the specimens of the species noted 
above, that is, Antigua, June, 1918, which is structurally very 
like linearis, but the head lacks the dark postocular stripes and 
the general color is darkened by many very small black dots and 
dashes. The slightly wrinkled appearance of the entire surface 
of the head, thorax and abdomen above and below is due to the 
coloration. This specimen may represent a new species, but is 
more likely one of the several allied forms occurring in the West 
Indies.
