is furthermore a probability that species of Scotocryptus or Parabystus will 

 be found, as they are inquilinous on Melipone bees, which occur in the West 

 Indies (Schwarz). 



The islands of Trinidad and Tobago, which are politically part of the 

 West Indies, are situated close to the mainland of South America, of which 

 faunistically they become part. In Cicindelinre the introduction of Trin- 

 idad records would require the addition of four species of the genus Odon- 

 tochila (Trinidad Field Nat. Club, I, 1892, p. 109, and Walther Horn in 

 Gen. Ins.) and, in other families, many similarly alien records. We shall, 

 therefore, in future omit from the West Indian List species and genera 

 occurring only in the islands above named. 



In the following pages the additional records of distribution and the 

 species to be added to our Preliminary List, the latter being indicated by 

 asterisks, are arranged according to that List; errors which have been 

 noticed are corrected, and various other items of interest are included. It 

 will be noted that an atmosphere of doubt, necessarily surrounding records 

 based on the various identifications of different authors in difficult groups, 

 is indicated, but this cannot be dissipated until each of such groups is 

 studied in detail. 



Family I. CARABID^. 



Subfamily Cicindelinfe. 



The authors have published (Bull. American Mus. Nat. Hist., XXV, 

 1916, pp. 681-698) a Descriptive Catalogue of the West Indian Cicindelinse 

 which involves the separation of the records for Tetracha sobrina and Cicin- 

 dela suturalis to show the distribution of their varieties, the revival of 

 Fleutiaux and Salle's variety pallipes under argentata, the description of a 

 new variety of T. sobrina from Antigua, and of two new species of Cicindela 

 from Cuba. On account of these changes and of numerous additional rec- 

 ords, we think it advisable to publish a complete revised list of this sub- 

 family.
