[June 
(Brunn.) and Melormenis quadripunctata (F.) occur in 
the Greater Antilles and in the Leeward Islands (An- 
tigua, St. Kitts, Nevis, Montserrat) but not in the Wind- 
ward Islands ; Cuhana tortriciformis Muir is represented 
in the Lesser Antilles by very close geographical equiva- 
lents grouped around the St. Vincent Cuhana tortrix Uhl. ; 
Neurotmeta occurs as far south as Dominica; Oliarus 
campestris is very clearly replaced in the Windward 
Islands and Trinidad by 0. maidis Fenn. The group of 
species or subspecies closely resembling Acanalonia de- 
pressa Mel. has no representatives in the Lesser Antilles, 
while the Thionia described below is not very close to any 
Lesser Antillean species. The genera Ladella, Remosa, 
and Tangella and the flatid Parthenormenis described 
below do not occur in the Lesser Antilles and have no 
obvious equivalents there, though by contrast the forest- 
dwelling Chasmacephala of the Windward Islands clearly 
shares a common ancestry with the Greater Antillean 
Parahydriena and Cyphoceratops. 
In so small a collection little significance can be at- 
tached to the absence of species but, in view of their 
abundance in the Leeward Islands as far north as An- 
guilla, the writer would have expected to find a species 
of Ilesia among the flatids of the littoral zone. The genus 
Antillormenis does not reach northward of the Leeward 
Islands and even here occurs only in Montserrat.

hana tortrix Uhler loc. cit.: 62.

Muir 1924 Proc. Haw. Ent. Soc. 5, 3 : 461. 
A single female taken by the writer at Road Town, 
Tortola (Feb. 25, 1944) is assigned to this species. The 
specimen differs from the type of C. tortrix only in hav- 
ing the distal fuscous line in the tegminal membrane 
overlying cell R2 and the large spot basad of it bicon- 
cave on its inner face. It is probable that Pintalia alta 
Osborn is this species.
