Onychophora from Haiti 
37 
ican Republic, about 8000 feet (June 1928). Six specimens 
with 27 pairs (four individuals) or 28 pairs of legs (two 
individuals) . 
(3) North of Loma Rucilla, Central Range, Dominican 
Republic, 6000-7000 feet (June 1938). Two large females, 
each with only 26 pairs of legs. 
(4) Constanza, Central Range, Dominican Republic, 
3000-4000 feet (August 1938) . Eight specimens with 27-31 
pairs of legs; one $ with 27 pairs, one with 29 pairs, four 
with 30 pairs and two with 31 pairs.

Fig. 1. Outline map of Haiti showing the known distribution of 
Onychophora. 1, Peripatus manni; 2, Peripatus domimicse, var. 
haitiensis; 3, Peripatus dominicse, var. darlingtoni ; 4, Peripatus 
dominicse, var. lachauxensis ; 5, Peripatus dominicse, var. basilensis; 
6, Macroperipatus insularis. 
It thus appears that Peripatus dominicse var. basilensis 
extends eastward from Mt. Basil into the Northern Range 
of Mountains and also into the Central Range. All of the 
specimens listed above are very similar to the types al- 
though many of them have more pairs of legs. However, 
the number apparently never reaches that present in what I 
have considered to be the nearest relative, var. darlingtoni 
Brues which is so far known only from well out on the south- 
western peninsula on the Massif de la Hotte. 
The accompanying outline map, kindly drawn for me by 
Mrs. A. S. O’Connor summarizes our present knowledge of 
the distribution of Onychophora on the island of Haiti.
