(Walckeuger) rauges from California and Florida to Brazil and is recorded 

 also from Cuba (Havana). Haiti. Porto Eico (Aguadilla, Arroyo, Lares 

 and El Ynnque), Vieques, f Guadeloupe and St. Vincent. We took it at 

 nearly all stations from Guane to Gnantanamo in Cuba, at Hope Gardens 

 and ^lonteoo Bav in Jamaica, on ^[ona, and at Arecibo and San Juan 

 in Porto Eico. L. regnyi (Simon) has been recorded only from St. Vin- 

 cent, although it is possible, as suggested to me by Mr. Banks, that Argy- 

 ro'epeira higihhosa Keyserling, which Petrmikevitch questionably put in 

 Meta, is a synonym. If so, its range inehides also Colombia, Porto Eico 

 (Aguadilla and El Yunque) and Haiti. In that case higihhosa is the 

 prior name. AVe took it in Porto Eico in the foothills of El Duque near 

 "NTaguabo and at Arecibo. on ^lona and Desecheo, and very commonly 

 throughout Cuba. L. venusta (AValckena?r) is more generally known 

 as Argyroepeira liortorum (Hentz) Emerton. It is fairly common 

 throughout the United States (Georgia being the type locality) and south 

 to Colombia. Its recorded insular distribution is Bermuda, Bahamas, 

 Cuba (Santiago de las Vegas) and St. Vincent. AVe did not take it in 

 Cuba but did on Mona and in the mountains south of Arecibo, Porto 

 Eico. As it is a very striking '"green and silver-white spider, tinged with 

 golden, and sometimes with orange-3'ellow or copper-red spots'* and 

 usually rests in a conspicuous web, it is not likely to be overlooked. 



Dolichognatha is foimd in Ceylon, western Africa and (the species 

 given here) tropical and subtropical America. It is closely related to 

 Diphya which has a somewhat similar distribution: South Africa, Mada- 

 gascar, and Chile. D. tuherculata (Keyserling) has been found in f Flor- 

 ida, Mexico, Costa Eica, Venezuela and St. Vincent. It will probably 

 1)6 found in the Greater Antilles. 



NEPHILIN^ 



Nephila is found throughout much of tlic warmer parts of the world 

 but seems to be rare in the West Indies, clavipes (Linnaeus) being the 

 only species recorded, although it has gone under a number of names, of 

 which wilderi. ivistariana and concohr, all by McCook. should be men- 

 tioned. Its known range is from southern United States to Peru and 

 Brazil, Bermuda, Bahamas, f Jamaica, Santo Domingo and Porto Eico 

 (Aguadillo). We took an immature Nephila at Cabanas, Cuba, and as 

 'Mv. Banks has seen a specimen of clavipes from Havana our specimen 

 doubtless belongs to this species. We have a number of adnlts from 

 Mona.
