1). BAHAMA islands: Cat Island (Bennets Harbour, E. B. Hayden & 
L. Giovanolli, 2). 
The specimens from Jamaica are darker than those from Cuba 
and Hispaniola, only one of them having the posterior pale elytral 
mark. The pubescence may be less appressed but the specimens are 
so abraded that they were identified with difficulty. This species is 
probably most closely related to A. pauxillus Champion, panamen- 
sis Werner, and margaritae, sp. n., from Guatemala, Panama, and 
eastern Venezuela, respectively. The color pattern is similar. The $ 
genitalia are similar, but the simple internal sac provides few clues 
to relationship. A. panamensis has the tegmen step-tapered. 
Anthicus margaritae, sp. n. 
Fig. 8, 20. 
1.90-2.20 mm, of form of Anthicus panamensis Werner and antil- 
leorum, sp. n., differing from both species in having the head 
broader behind the eyes and gradually widened to the narrowly 
rounded temporal angles. Tegmen of $ genitalia convexly tapered 
as in antilleorum, but with the apex slightly more pointed. Antero- 
lateral angles of prothorax quite narrowly rounded, as in the above 
2 species, differing mainly in this feature from A. exiguus Champion. 
Holotype S, 1.92 mm; head 33/44,40; eyes 16/14, separated by 
29,15 from base. Punctures of head ca. 3 apart, on slightly convex 
disc. Antennae 75 long, 7 thick at segment 10. Prothorax 
46/20,42,31. Elytra slightly swollen but with very distinct humeri, 
1 13/51,65. Punctures slightly sparser than on head, intervals smooth 
and slightly convex; setae ca. 9 long, not quite so decumbent as in 
antilleorum, tactile setae 9 and erect. 
Holotype: Venezuela: I. Margarita: Puerto Fermin (12.48, 
Marcuzzi), in CASC, San Francisco. Paratypes: Venezuela: I Mar- 
garita: Puerto Fermin (same data, 10), Juan Griego (3.48, 2). Sucre: 
Carupan (9.48, 2). I am indebted to K. S. Hagen for the loan of 
these specimens, and for some additional specimens without labels. 
Paratypes in CASC and collections of KSH and FGW. 
Anthicus blackwelderi, sp. n. 
Fig. 10, 13,21. 
2.27-2.55 mm, of aspect of a Vacusus species, head truncate, 
prothorax without a constriction, and elytra subparallel. Jamaican
