A. (Eriophora) balaustinus McCook is recorded from f Florida to 

 ]jOwer California and Mexico; San Juan, Poito Eico; Haiti and Santo 

 Domingo; Cayamas and Havana, Cuba; Jamaica; and Swan Island. 

 The latter island, lying between Cuba or Jamaica and Central America, 

 is a very interesting locality. It is to be regretted that we know so little 

 of its fauna. We took this species on Mona and in a rotten banana trunk 

 near Arecibo, Porto Rico. 



A. (Neoscona) benjaminus (Walcken^r). Labrador (in our collec- 

 tion) to Guiana and in Martinique. It is probably in the Greater 

 Antilles. 



A. (Epeira) bispinosus (Keyserling) is recorded from f California, 

 Arizona, Panama and Haiti. 



A. (Singa) crewii (Banks), f^^^iti. 



A. (Singa) cubana (Banks). The type locality is Havana, Cuba. 

 AVe took it on the same island at Piiiar del Eio and Baiios San Yincente 

 by sweeping the grass at the edge of water. 



A. (Neoscona?) granadensis (Keyserling) is recorded from f Colombia. 

 and the Luquillo, Porto Rico. In giving the latter record. Banks remarks 

 that it is close to inuittaia Kevserlin2," ^vhicli is here considered to be a 

 synonym of arahesca. 



A. (Epeira) gundlachi (Banks) was described from a specimen taken 

 by us on the sandy plain about 12 kilometers south of Pihar del Rio, 

 Cuba. 



A. (Epeira) incertus (Cambridge), descril)ed from Costa Rica, lias 

 hitherto been known only from Mexico and Central America. We got it 

 in Cuba at Cabanas and Esperanzia on the edge of mangrove swamps, in 

 the mountains north of Yiiiales on oaks, and south of Pihar del Rio on 

 the palmettoes of the dry sandy plains. A species so catholic in its eco- 

 logical tastes is doubtless more widely distributed than these records show. 



A. (Metepeira) labyrinthens (Hentz) is said to occur "from Labra- 

 dor to Patagonia, including all the islands.'^ The only definite Antillean 

 records I have seen are Barbados; St. Vincent; Culebra and Vieques; 

 Aguadilla, Porto Rico; and Havana, Cuba. We took it at Mayaguez, 

 Porto Rico, and on Desecheo. Its type locality is North Carolina. 



A. (Verrucosa) mexicanus (Lucas) of which vndecimvaiiolata Cam- 

 bridge is considered to be a synonym is known from Panama, Costa Rica^ 

 f Guatemala, j\Iexico and Santo Domingo. 



A. (Neoscona) nauticus (L. Koch) was described from Africa. It 

 is said to be found throughout the world's tropics and also in New Hamp- 

 shire and Tennessee. Its only Antillean records are St. Vincent and 

 Haiti.
