Ischnothyreus barrowsi Chamberlin and Ivie, 1935: 9, fig. 7. The female 
holotype from Marco Island, Florida has been in the University of 
Utah but is now being placed in the American Museum of Natural 
History on semipermanent loan, examined. New Synonymy. 
Dysderina antillana Bryant, 1942: 234; 1948: 340. The female holotype 
from the Virgin Islands is in the Museum of Comparative Zoology, 
examined. 
As I have shown in a recent publication (1968), this species is 
now well known from Costa Rica, Panama, many of the West Indies 
and now, also the State of Florida. I am, however, sceptical about 
its reported distribution in extensive areas of Asia and Africa. Dur- 
ing my period of field work in Florida in the month of March 
(1968) I collected a few specimens of both sexes in avocado groves 
in the vicinity of Homestead. Further careful collecting will prob- 
ably show that the species is well distributed through at least the 
southern parts of the state. 
Genus Opopaea Simon, 1891 
There is considerable confusion in the literature regarding the 
characters used for separating the genus Opopaea from the genus 
Gamasomorpha. I am not at present prepared to attempt a clarifica- 
tion of this confusion and in view of this fact I am placing Gamaso- 
morpha floridana Banks along with four other species in the genus
