Sphaerodactylus elegans Reinhardt & Lutken. 



Reinhardt & Lutken, Vid. Meddel. nat. foren Kjobenh. for 1862, 1863, p. 275. Boulenger, Cat.

A very small species represented by individuals from San Diego de los Banos 

 Caibarien, Remedios, and Havana, Cuba. These little lizards look very like 

 what might be the young of S. torrei, of which species we have no specimens of a 

 similar size. The measurements given by Boulenger for the largest S. elegans are 

 much smaller than those which he gives for S. torrei. The type of coloration is, 

 however, entirely different, and adults of but little more than an inch long were 

 not uncommon at San Diego de los Banos. This was the only locality where we 

 ourselves met the species, although we often heard elsewhere of the "Salaman- 

 quita de la Virgen," as it is called by the people. Recently four examples from 

 Momance, Haiti, have been received from Mr. W. M. Mann. 



Spharodactylus cinereus Cocteau. 



Cocteau Sagra's Hist. Cuba. Rept., 1834, p. 166, pi. 17. Gray, Cat. lizards Brit, mus., 1845, p. 168. 

 Boulenger, Cat. lizards, Brit, mus., 1885, 1, p. 220. 



The only specimens which I have seen and which agree with this form are 

 from Cienfuegos, Santiago de Cuba and Los Negros in Jiguani, Oriente. Boulen- 

 ger records it from San Domingo, Martinique, and Caracas, Venezuela. The 

 Martinique specimen, which was received from the Paris museum, probably 

 came from San Domingo, as did many other specimens in the Paris museum 

 which are labeled Martinique. The specimen from Caracas was probably either 

 carried there by mistake, or else belongs to another species. S. cinereus is proba- 

 bly confined to Cuba and Haiti. Mr. Mann collected an adult at Momance, 

 Haiti. 



Sphaerodactylus nigropunctatua Gray.

Of this species, the type locality of which was unknown, the Museum has 

 specimens, which Garman has identified, from Santiago de Cuba, collection of 

 Major Wirt Robinson. Recently Mr. C. T. Ramsden has sent a specimen from 

 Guantanamo which seems to be referable to this species. It is, however, almost 

 black in general color with two white dots side by side upon the nuchal region.
