company with H. humeralis, H. clupeola, and H. pensacolae pensacolae. 

 A specimen of pensacolae 110 mm. in length was collected with the 

 holotype of H. pensacolae floridana. 



Named for the State of Florida, to the southern part of which this 

 subspecies seems to be confined.

The holotype is an adult 86 mm. in length (U.S.N. M. No. 107399), 

 collected by Paul Bartsch (Smithsonian-Reobling Expedition) in the 

 Isle of Pines, opposite Siguanea Island, Cuba, on April 11, 1937, 

 Five paratypes, 67 to 73 mm. in length (U.S.N.M. No. 124319), were 

 collected with the holotype.

 mm. in length (U.S N.M. No. 107399), collected in the Isle of Pines, Cuba. 



This subspecies is related to H. pensacolae pensacolae and more 

 closely so to H. pensacolae floridana and H. pensacolae cubana. It differs 

 from H. pensacolae pensacolae in the characters given in item 86 of the 

 key. Owing to the small number of specimens of H. pensacolae 

 pinensis available, it has been found necessary to present several 

 frequency distribution tables based on specimens of the same size in 

 order to show the differences between this subspecies and H. pensacolae 

 cubana in a more comprehensive manner. 



H. cubana pinensis is as yet known only from the type locality. 



Named after the Isle of Pines, where the type specimens were 

 collected.
