Holotype $ (Museum of Comparative Zoology no. 19530) 
and 8 paratypes from Soledad (near Cienfuegos) Cuba, 
June, Oct. 25-Nov. 23, some taken in flood debris; 1 speci- 
men in poor condition from Cuba, Poey Collection no. 597 
(Philadelphia Academy of Sciences) ; 2 paratypes from Rio 
Piedras, Puerto Rico, Sept. 8 and July, coll, by Alsina (1 re- 
turned to S. T. Danforth) . 
This species is very similar to Brady cellus tantillus (Dej.) 
of the United States, but differs (as shown by comparison 
with specimens of tantillus in the Leconte Collection and 
with a series from Florida in my own collection) in being 
slightly broader, less shining, and with better defined pos- 
terior thoracic angles. It is even closer to B. nigrellus 
Bates of Mexico and Guatemala, of which there is a series 
of cotypes in the Museum of Comparative Zoology, but dif- 
fers in its uniformly duller lustre.
