and 10 paratypes from Soledad (near Cienfuegos) Cuba, 
June and Oct. 31, washed from gravel banks of the Arimao 
River; 6 paratypes from Cayamas, 1 Cuba, May 25-June

This species belongs in group 24 ( dentipes group) in Put- 
zeys’ revision (Z. c.) . Within this group it falls in section 
5 or 6, resembling only C. latimana Putz. and C. punctiven- 
tris Putz., both of South America, in ventral punctua- 
tion. From latimana, cubse differs in having the epistoma 
The Cayamas from which Schwarz’s specimens came is in south- 
western Santa Clara, near Yaguaramas (Cf. Proc. Ent. Soc. Wash-
