NEW WEST INDIAN CARABIDAC, WITH A LIST 
OF THE CUBAN SPECIES 1 2 
By P. J. Darlington, Jr. 
Museum of Comparative Zoology, Cambridge, Mass. 
The purpose of the present paper is two-fold : first, to 
describe a number of new Carabidse which have come to 
hand during several years of sporadic work on the West 
Indian fauna, and second, to give a complete list of the 
species now known from Cuba. Eventually I plan to publish 
a revision of all the Carabidse of the West Indies. How- 
ever, this will have to await the acquisition of much more 
material than is now available, and I think in the mean- 
time a Cuban list (which adds very little to the length 
of this paper) will be useful not only to collectors on the 
island, but to any coleopterists in the United States who 
feel a responsibility for knowing something about the Cuban 
fauna. 
The order of genera in the list is approximately that of 
the Junk Catalogue. The Cuban species are numbered con- 
secutively ; species from other islands are interpolated 
without numbers. Of the 134 species here listed from Cuba 
(about twice the number previously known) I have seen 
Cuban specimens of 128. The 6 which I have not seen are 
noted in the lisL The synonymy which I have cited is 
practically limited to names used for actual Cuban speci- 
mens by earlier writers, of whom the chief have been the 
following: 
1. Jacquelin-Duval, 1857, in Ramon de la Sagra’s His- 
toire physique, politique et naturelle de Tile de Cuba 
(French Ed.), Animaux Articules [Vol. 7], pp. 6-24 
(Carabidse) .

including as a supplement a new Masoreus (Aephnidius) by A. J. 
Mutchler.
