Dr. Petrunkevitch really belong with Oonops castellus Chickering, 
now believed to be rather widely distributed among the West Indies. 
I readily concede, however, that there is no certainty at the present 
time. 
Records. In addition to the records cited above the following 
should now be added in order to bring the record up to date: Dr. 
Gertsch recognized the species from Florida in 1936, where it is 
now known to be fairly common (Chickering, 1969). Miss Bryant 
(1940) reported the finding of females in Cuba. I have taken many 
females in the following localities during my collecting trips in 
1954, 1957-1958, 1963-1964, 1965 and 1966: Jamaica, W. I. where 
the species seems to be abundant; St. Thomas, St. John and St. Croix, 
U. S. Virgin Islands; Puerto Rico, W. I.; St. Lucia, St. Kitts, Nevis 
and St. Vincent, all in the British West Indies; Trinidad, W. I.; 
Panama Canal Zone and parts of Panama, particularly in the 
mountainous regions; and finally in Costa Rica. 
Triaeris pusillus (Bryant), new combination 
liytanis pusilla Bryant, 1942: 326, figs. 13-14. The female holotype from 
St. Croix, V. I. is in the Museum of Comparative Zoology, examined. 
Triaeris reticulatus Chickering, 1968: 354, figs. 6-13. The male holotype 
from St. Croix, V. I. is in the Museum of Comparative Zoology, new
