The female, regarded by Miss Bryant as representing a new 
species of Hytanis, was completely overlooked during my study of 
the genus Triaeris (1968). At that time I believed that I had a 
new species of the genus represented by a male from St. Croix, V. I. 
Because of the close similarity of structure and coloration, I believed 
that a female from Nevis, B. W. I., belonged with the male from 
St. Croix, V. I. As a result of my examination of the holotype of 
Hytanis pusilla Bryant I think it is logical to believe that this 
female belongs with my male from the same locality and that it 
represents a species of Triaeris. This leaves the status of the female 
from Nevis in some doubt. This species may be a new one but I 
am not yet certain about this. Further careful collecting among the 
numerous West Indian Islands is obviously needed.
