Key to West Indian Selenophorus 
The following brief and rather artificial key includes 
chiefly species which I have seen myself. Three other spe- 
cies, marked with asterisks, are merely inserted in the 
proper places from description, without final distinguishing 
characters being given. Of species recorded from the West 
Indies I have been unable to place only Selenophorus lucidus 
Dej., described as probably from the Antilles, (near disco - 
punctatus) , and subaeneus Reiche, not known from north 
of Guadeloupe (probably also near discopunctatus) . I have 
been aided in my identifications in this difficult genus by 
brief notes on some of Putzeys’ types from Mr. A. d’Orchy- 
mont, and by comparison of specimens with the type of 
S. integer (Fab.) made for me by Dr. Joseph Bequaert.
