upper incisor. It is smaller than A. montserratensis, and with a 

 distinct white shoulder spot. 



Phyllops falcatus (Gray).

Stenoderma albomaculatum Gundlach, Monatsb. k. preuss. Akad. 

 Wiss. Berlin, 1867, p. 155. 



This genus is closely related to Ardops of the Lesser Antilles and 

 Haiti. The single known species is confined to Cuba, where it appears 

 to be very rare. According to Gundlach, it has been noted at Matan- 

 zas and Cardenas, and occasionally enters houses. 



Ariteus achradophilus (Gosse). 



Artibeus achradophilus Gosse, Naturalist's Sojourn in Jamaica, 1851, 

 p. 271, pi. 6, fig. 4. 



Ariteus flavescens Gray, Mag. Zool. Bot., 1837, 2, p. 491. 



The type species is the only form of this genus known. It is ap- 

 parently confined to Jamaica, although Dobson (1878, p. 528) recorded 

 a specimen from Cuba, but probably in error for Phyllops, as Miller 

 (1907) does not credit it. It appears to be nearly akin to Ardops, 

 but lacks the last molar, while the first lower molar retains the meta- 

 conid. It seems probable, therefore, that it represents Ardops in 

 Jamaica, as Phyllops represents it in Cuba. 



The related genus Stenoderma, known from a single specimen 

 without locality, may eventually be rediscovered in the West Indies. 



Note. — Centurio senex Gray. — A specimen supposed to have 

 come from Cuba, was mentioned by Lichtenstein and Peters in 1854, 

 but Peters later wrote that this locality was erroneous (Peters, Monatsb. 

 k. preuss. Akad. Wiss. Berlin, 1864, p. 382). 



Phyllonycteris poeyi Gundlach. 



Phyllonyderis poeyi Gundlach, Monatsb. k. preuss. Akad. Wiss. 

 Berlin, 1860, p. 817. 



This bat is certainly known from Cuba only, where it is locally 

 abundant. Miller (1904, p. 344) has recently redescribed and figured
