is likely that they have been mislabelled. This species is exclusively 
Cuban, as far as we know. 
Canthonella constans Matthews, 1966. 
New locality record: Cloudf orest, vicinity Valle Nuevo, Domini- 
can Republic, August 1938, c. 6,000 ft, P. J. Darlington, 1 specimen, 
MCZ. This is very nearly, or perhaps exactly, the same location 
where the author collected his series, which was at 1 1 km south of 
Constanza, 5,700 ft, October 1964. Valle Nuevo itself is 21 km 
south of Constanza. 
The same specimen was cited by Vulcano and Pereira (1966:122) 
as Canthonella pygmaea. The two species are quite different (see 
Matthews, 1966, key pp. 76-77, etc.). 
Canthon perseverans Matthews, 1966. 
The British Museum collection has two specimens of this Grenadan 
species, found among the unclassified material and labelled “Trini- 
dad”. They were entered as part of the Fry Collection in 1905. 
Doubting that this species actually occurs in Trinidad, the author 
checked under the specimen numbers in the Fry Collection catalogue 
and found that this material had been collected in “Trinidad and 
Grenada ”, This was not indicated on the specimen labels, and there 
can be no doubt that the two specimens of C. perseverans were col- 
lected on Grenada, to which island this species seems to be an ex- 
clusive endemic.
