LITZ, LIST OF GREATER ANTILLEAX SPIDERS 



109 



Of the Antillean families, all are found from north of Mexico to South 

 America except Palpimanidse, which in America is known only from 

 South America, St. Vincent and Cuba, and Caponiid^e, which in America 

 is known only from Brazil to Mexico, St. Vincent, Hispaniola and Cuba 

 (elsewhere only in South Africa). Table I summarizes the Antillean 

 distribution of those families which are known from the Greater Antilles.

It should be remembered that throughout this paper Lesser Antilles 

 means little else than St. Vincent, since it is the only one of these islands 

 which has been carefully studied. The need of work in Hispaniola is 

 emphasized by the fact that one man collecting for only a few days on 

 the small islands of Mona and Desecheo found representatives of twelve 

 families, Avhile but thirteen families are recorded from the large neigh- 

 boring island of Hispaniola. It is strange that but nine families are 

 known from Jamaica. This island has had the benefit of several workers, 

 but poverty of its fauna is shown in other groups, so that this small num- 

 ber, while certainly not representing all the families to be found there, 

 may be significant.
