but t^^'o A\'est Indian records : hanlcsi Peckhani and translatus Peckham, 

 both confined to Jamaica. We toolv specimens of the genus whicli Mr. 

 Peckham marked as new sj^ecies at Cristo and Pinar del Eio, Cuba, and 

 we also took coronatus (Hentz) at Pinar del Iiio. This species ranges 

 from Xew York to Mexico. 



Plexippus is found throughout most of the world l)ut especially in 

 the warmer regions. P. .payl-idli (Adouin) is a cosmo-tropical species 

 which has Ijeen recorded from Santiago de las Vegas and Havana. Cuba; 

 Haiti; Lares, Adjuntas. San Juan and Arecibo, Porto Eico. and St. 

 Vincent. We took it at Guane, Cuba. 



Prostheclina Keyserling is considered by Simon to be synonymous 

 with Salt is. This is prol)ably correct but as there is some doubt they 

 will be kept separate here except that, in giving the general distribution, 

 of Saitis, ProstJtecJina will be included. In America Prostheclina seems 

 to be limited to the Greater Antilles. P. parvuJa Banks is known only 

 from Cayamas. Cuba. P. perplexides Strand, venaforia Peckham, and 

 viaria Peckham are known only from Jamaica (f Ipswich, fPort Antonio 

 and fMoneague, respectively). P. morgani Peckham was described from 

 Kingston, Jamaica, and perplexa Peckham from ^Mandeville. Jamaica. 

 Both species are reported also from Haiti. P. illustris (C. Koch) was 

 described from Porto Eico and has since been reported hy Banks from 

 an altitude of 2000 feet on El Yunque in that island. P. signafa Banks 

 is listed in the original description from Utuado and Aguadilla, Porto 

 Eico; also from Culebra. He has since reported it from Haiti and we 

 took it at San Turce and Dorodo, both near San Juan, and in the 

 mountains south of Arecibo, Porto Eico. as well as on Desecheo. 



Saitis, including Prostliedina. is known fnun soutliwestern Europe, 

 western and southern Africa, India, Malasia, Polynesia, Australia and 

 America. There are three species in South America ; the others are from 

 the Greater Antilles. With the exception of those mentioned under 

 Prostheclina, all the known Antillean species are confined to Jamaica, 

 namely, anna; Cockerel!, f Kingston; defloccatus Peckham, f Kingston, 

 and inutilis Peckham, no definite locality given. 



Synemosyna is an American genus which, with Sinionella from the 

 American tropics, forms the group Synemosyneae. Two species of Syne- 

 mosyna are found in Brazil, one in St. Vincent, and the United States 

 species, formica Hentz, is listed from Cayamas, Cuba. 



Thiodina is an American genus which ranges farther north than the 

 other members of the American group, Thiodine^. T. sylvana (Hentz) 

 is known from f South Carolina to Panama and. under the name of retia-
