Psyche 
[June 
Zoology no. 19519) from Fajardo, Feb. Both specimens 
taken by Aug. Busck. 
As compared with Perigona picea, this species is broader, 
less convex, with more slender antennae, better defined pro- 
thoracic angles, less distinct elytral striae, and especially 
smaller eyes. For other distinguishing characters see the 
following key to the West Indian species of Perigona, of 
which I have seen all except guadeloupensis. 
1. Color chiefly testaceous, head and apices of elytra black- 
ish; length 3 mm. or less; cosmopolitan 
nigriceps Dej. 
Color piceous to testaceous (immature), apices of elytra 
not contrastingly darker; length 3 mm. or more 2 
2. Sides of prothorax sinuate before base; 3 mm.; Gua- 
deloupe guadeloupensis Fleut. & Salle 
Sides of prothorax not, rarely just barely, sinuate 3 
3. Eyes only slightly breaking outline of sides of head (PI. 
5, fig. 8.) microps n. sp. 
Eyes much more prominent 4 
4. Elytra without distinct striae near suture ; body broader, 
more depressed; 4-5 mm.; Cuba, Puerto Rico (and Cen- 
tral America) Isevigata Bates. 
Elytra each with at least two distinct, more or less punc- 
tate striae near suture ; more slender and convex ; 
3-4 mm. picea n. sp. 
60. Badister seclusus Blatchley. 
61. Chlaenius niger ludoviciana Leng. 
niger Gundlach, not Randall. 
This is one of the few Carabidae known from Cuba of 
which I have not seen Cuban specimens. 
62. Chlaenius gundlachi Chd. 
63. Chlaenius cubanus Chd. 
poeyi Gundlach, not Chevrolat. 
64. Chlaenius perplexus Dej. 
circumcinctus Say.
