BULLETIN. 


The matter in the ‘Bulletin’ consists of about 24 to 36 articles per volume, which 
relate about equally to Geology, Paleontology, Mammalogy, Ornithclogy, Entomology, 
and (in former volumes) Anthropology, except Vol. XI, which is restricted to a ‘Cata-— i 
logue of the Types and Figured Specimens in the Paleontological Collection of the Geological 
Department,’ and Vols. XV, XVII, and XVIII, which relate wholly to Anthropology. Vol- 
ume XXIII and the later volumes contain no anthropological matter, which is now issued 
separately as ‘Anthropological Papers.’

Article V.— SUPPLEMENT TO PRELIMINARY LIST OF THE 
COLEOPTERA OF THE WEST INDIES. 


By Cuarues W. Lene, B. S., Honorary Curator OF COLEOPTERA 
AND ANDREW J. MutTcHueEr, ASSISTANT. 


In the preface to the Preliminary List of the Coleoptera of the West 
Indies! we asked our readers to communicate any papers or manuscript 
notes bearing on the subject and expressed the hope of publishing later the 
records of the collections in this and possibly other museums. We have 
received a number of such communications in response to our request and 
have examined the material in the National Museum. To all who have 
thus aided us we are grateful, but particularly to Mr. E. A. Schwarz, to 
whose great knowledge of the subject and great patience and liberality in 
communicating his knowledge to us we owe much more than we can repay. 
In addition to the identified specimens, now added to the published records, 
there exists in this and other museums, a mass of unidentified material con- 
sisting largely of undescribed species of which at present no satisfactory 
records can be published. The additions (about 200), corrections, and 
notes that follow are derived either from the sources named or from the ex- 
tensive West Indian material accumulated in American Museum and are in 
each instance credited to the proper source by an abbreviation. The ex- 
planation of such abbreviations and, concurrently, the authorities are given 
in the following list.

The statement in the Preliminary List “ total absence of the Silphide’”’, 
requires modification. While true of Silpha and Necrophorus and of Bury- 
ing Beetles in the sense we intended, it is not true of all Silphide, as that 
family is composed in the Henshaw Check List. There is a species of 
Aglyptonotus in the British Museum from St. Vincent and Grenada (Ent. 
Mont. Mag., LI., p. 121). Mr. Schwarz has collected a species of Aglyp- 
tonotus at Cayamas, Cuba, and the National Museum contains specimens 
of a Ptomophagus or Choleva from Porto Rico. These are certainties; there

is furthermore a probability that species of Scotocryptus or Parabystus will 
be found, as they are inquilinous on Melipone bees, which occur in the West 
Indies (Schwarz). 

The islands of Trinidad and Tobago, which are politically part of the 
West Indies, are situated close to the mainland of South America, of which 
faunistically they become part. In Cicindeline the introduction of Trin- 
idad records would require the addition of four species of the genus Odon- 
tochila (Trinidad Field Nat. Club, I, 1892, p. 109, and Walther Horn in 
Gen. Ins.) and, in other families, many similarly alien records. We shall, 
therefore, in future omit from the West Indian List species and genera 
occurring only in the islands above named. 

In the following pages the additional records of distribution and the 
species to be added to our Preliminary List, the latter being indicated by 
asterisks, are arranged according to that List; errors which have been 
noticed are corrected, and various other items of interest are included. It 
will be noted that an atmosphere of doubt, necessarily surrounding records 
based on the various identifications of different authors in difficult groups, 
is indicated, but this eannot be dissipated until each of such ‘groups is 
studied in detail. 


Family I. CARABID. 


Subfamily CIcINDELINE. 


The authors have published (Bull. American Mus. Nat. Hist., XXV, 
1916, pp. 681-698) a Descriptive Catalogue of the West Indian Cicindelinze 
which involves the separation of the records for Tetracha sobrina and Cicin- 
dela suturalis to show the distribution of their varieties, the revival of 
Fleutiaux and Sallé’s variety pallipes under argentata, the description of a 
new variety of 7. sobrina from Antigua, and of two new species of Cicindela 
from Cuba. On account of these changes and of numerous additional rec- 
ords, we think it advisable to publish a complete revised list of this sub- 
family. 


Tetracha Hope. 


Tetracha acutipennis (Dejean). Hispaniola, Cuba. 

Tetracha sobrina (Dejean). St. Bartholomew?. 

Tetracha sobrina var. infuscata (Mannerheim). Hispaniola, Porto 
Rico, St. Croix, St. Bartholomew. ;

Subfamily CARABINAE. 


Bembidium fastidiosum (Laferte). Antigua (Putzeys). 

* Tachys picturatus Putzeys. Antigua (Putzeys). 

Tachyta autumnalis Bates. Cuba, Montserrat (U.S. N. M.). 

* Pterocharis eggersi Ehlers. St. Thomas (Tr. Am. Ent. Soc., 1883, p. 36). 

Lachnophorus leucopterus Chevrolat. Porto Rico (A. M. N. H.). 

Selenophorus alternans Dejean. Porto Rico (Gundlach). 

Selenophorus chalybeus Dejean. Jamaica, Bahamas (U. S. N. M.); 
Antigua (Putzeys); Guadeloupe (Fleutiaux). 

* Selenophorus integer (Fabricius). Guadeloupe (Fleutiaux). 

Selenophorus discopunctatus Dejean. Haiti, Porto Rico (U.S. N. M.); 
Antigua (Putzeys).

Selenophorus parumpunctatus Dejean. Porto Rico (Gundlach). 

Selenophorus propinquus Putzeys. Antigua (Putzeys). 

Selenophorus pyritosus Dejean. Porto Rico (Gundlach). 

Selenophorus sinuatus (Gyllenhal). Antigua (Putzeys). 

Putzeys (Stett. Ent. Zeit., 1878) treats S. cwprinus Dejean as a synonym 
ot S. discopunctatus Dejean and S. eneocupreus Dejean as a form of S. 
beauvoist Dejean, established on darker specimens with the sides of thorax 
less rounded and other details. 

Gynandropus guadeloupensis Fleutiaux. Porto Rico (U.S. N. M.).

Amblygnathus vitract Fleutiaux. Dominica (U. S. N. M.). 

* Euphorticus pubescens var. eneolus Bates. Cuba (U.S. N. M.). 

Colpodes ellipticus Chaudoir. Guadeloupe (U. S. N. M.). 

Stenous tibialis (Chevrolat). Porto Rico (Gundlach). 

* Panageus fasciatus Say. Porto Rico (Gundlach). 

* Panageus thome Schaum. Cuba (U. 8S. N. M.). This has been 
treated as a synonym of the Mexican quadrisignatus but is possibly distinct. 

Panageus quadrisignatus Chevrolat. Cuba, Porto Rico (A. M. N. H.). 

Aspidoglossa vulnerata Putzeys. Cuba, Porto Rico (Gundlach). 

* Clivina bipustulata (Fabricius). Cuba (A. M. N. H.); it is possible 
that this and the preceding records refer to the same insect. 

Oxydrepanus rufus (Putzeys). Guadeloupe (Fleutiaux). 

Stratiotes tracundus Putzeys. Dominica (A. M. N. H.). 

Morio monilicornis (Latreille). Porto Rico, Culebra, Jamaica, Haiti; 
possibly introduced in pine lumber from the United States (Schwarz). 

Coptodera festiva Dejean. Jamaica (U.S. N. M.). 

Rhombodera flavipes (pallipes err. typ.) Leconte. Occurs also in Jamaica 
FEE. IN: ML). 

Rhombodera bicolor Leconte which may be a variety of flavipes (Leconte), 
(compare G. H. Horn, Tran. Am. Ent. Soc., X, p. 159) and possibly not 
different from atrorufa Reiche. Porto Rico (Gundlach and Van Zwaluwen- 
burg). 

Lebia viridis Say. Dominica, Porto Rico (A. M. N. H.). 

Lebia biteniata Chevrolat. Dominica, Porto Rico (U.S. N. M.). 

* Lebia elevata (Fabricius)? Guadeloupe. The identity of the Guade- 
loupe insect is doubtful. See Fleutiaux, Ann. Ent. Soe. Fr., 1889, p. 361. 

* Apenes opaca Leconte. Bahamas (Wickham). 

Apenes parallela Dejean and A. morio (Dejean) may be synonymous. 

Apenes parallela (Dejean). Bahamas (A. M. N. H.). 

* Apenes variegata (Dejean). Antigua (Putzeys). Under thisname both 
Van Zwaluwenburg and Gundlach record a species from Porto Rico in the 
genus Cymindis; it seems probable, however, that all the West Indies species 
recorded in that genus really belong to Apenes. 

* Zuphium americanum Dejean. Porto Rico (Gundlach, A. M. N. H.). 

Brachinus gilvipes Mannerheim. Porto Rico (Gundlach). 

Galerita beauvoist Chaudoir. Barbados (Cockerell). 

* Casnonia insignis (Chaudoir). Porto Rico (Gundlach). 

Calosoma alternans Fabricius. St. Croix (U. S. N. M.); St. Vincent, 
Barbuda (W. I. Bull.). 

The American species, * C. calidum (Fabricius) is also credited to Porto 
Rico by Van Zwaluwenburg, but the identification may be subject to revi- 
sion. 


196 Bulletin American Museum of Natural History. (Vol. XXXVII, 


Family II. DYTISCID. 


Megadytes fraternus Sharp. Porto Rico (Gundlach, U.S. N. M.). 

Megadytes giganteus (Castelnau). Porto Rico (Gundlach and Van 
Zwaluwenburg). The Cuban species may not be identical; it is labelled 
Vherminiert in U.S. N. M. Coll. 

Eunectes occidentalis White is a synonym of E. sticticus (Linné); also 
the citation on p. 398 of Eretes sticticus (Linné) for the Guadeloupe species is 
an error, there being but one species involved. The author of FE. occidentalis 
appears to be Erichson. 

_ Thermonectes margineguttatus (Aubé). Porto Rico (Gundlach). 

Thermonectes circumscriptus (Latreille). Porto Rico (Gundlach); St. 
Thomas (U.S. N. M.). 

Rhantus calidus (Fabricius). Haiti (A. M. N. H.). 

Copelatus posticatus (Fabricius). Porto Rico (Gundlach); Haiti, St. 
Vincent (U.S. N. M.).

Laccophilus americanus Aubé (= proximus) Porto Rico (Gundlach). 

Pachydrus obniger (Chevrolat). Porto Rico (Gundlach). 


Family IV. GYRINIDA.

N. M.). ; 

Dineutes metallicus Aubé. Porto Rico (Gundlach); Guadeloupe (Fleu- 
taux); Jamaica (U.S) IN? ML); 

Gyrinus rugifer Regimbart. (?) Dominica (A. M. N. H.). 


Family V. HYDROPHILIDA. 


Hydrochus pallipes Chevrolat. Porto Rico (Gundlach). 

* Hydrochus rugosus Mulsant. Cuba (A. M. N. H.). 

Derallus rudis Sharp. Cuba (A. M. N. H.). 

Stethoxus intermedius (Jacquelin Duval). Culebra (U.S. N. M.). 

According to Mr. F. Wintersteiner, who has studied our collections of 
Hydrophilide, the West Indian species intermedius (Duval) is not identical 
with the Central American species ater (Olivier).

(U.S. N. M.). 

Dactylosternum flavicorne (Mulsant). Porto Rico (Gundlach); Haiti 
(U.S. N. M.). 

* Dactylosternum advectum Horn. Porto Rico (A. M. N. H.). 

The authority for D. subdepressum should be corrected to Castelnau. 

Phenonotum estriatum Say. Dominica, Jamaica, Cuba (A. M. N. H.). 

* Phenotypus palmarum (Schwarz). Dominica (A. M. N. H.). 

* Oosternum costatum Sharp. Cuba, Porto Rico (U. S. N. M. and A. M. 
NOH:), 

Cercyon nigriceps (Marsham). Jamaica (A. M. N. H.). 

* Cercyon variegatum Sharp. Dominica (A. M. N. H.). 

* Cercyon quisquilius (Linné). Jamaica (A. M. N. H.). 

The identifications of the American Museum material of Hydrophilidee 
and Spheeridiide were made by Mr. F. Wintersteiner.

. The record of Hippodamia 13—punctata (Linné) from the Antilles is 
questioned by Mr. Schwarz; the species being distinctly northern and its 
occurrence almost impossible unless introduced. In the same category may 
be placed the recent records of * H. convergens Guérin, Porto Rico (Van 
Zwaluwenburg); and * Coccinella 9-notata Herbst, Cuba (A. M. N. H.).

Euzxestus piciceps Gorham is the same as E. minor (Sharp), see Champion 
Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond. 1913, p. 79, and E. erithacus (Chevrolat) is probably 
not more than a variety of E. parki Wollaston.

The genus Botrodus Casey belongs probably to Murmidiinz; the same 
applies to the genus Lapethus Casey (Grouvelle, Ann. Soe. Ent. France, 1912, 
pp. 297, 298). The genera Stylulus and Cryptzoon are misplaced, but there 
is some doubt as to their family position.

Family XVII. MON(DID. 


There is a question as to whether the genus Monadus was described by 
Horn or Leconte. The description of the type species appears in a paper by 
Horn but Leconte’s authorship of the species is clearly indicated by Horn’s 
statement that Dr. Leconte communicated the description. The author of 
the genus, nevertheless, appears to be Horn and our citation should be cor- 
rected.

on the ground like the Byrrhide. It is treated as a separate family by Brues 
and Melander, and is placed in the subfamily Chelonarine under Byrrhide 
by Sharp (Biol. Cent. Amer.. II, pt. 1, 1902, pp. 684-696); Plate XX 
referred to in the text was, apparently, never published.

Polycesta thome Chevrolat is a synonym of P. porcata (Fabricius); P. 
angulosa Jacquelin Duval is a synonym of P. excavata Blanchard; Acmeodera 
contigua Kerremans is a synonym of A. flavomarginata (Gray); Halecia 
aureomicans (Nonfried) and Hilarotes chalcoptera (Jacquelin Duval) are both 
synonyms of Halecia nitidicollis (Castelnau); Gyascutus carolinensis Horn 
belongs in Hippomelas. 

The identity of Ps:loptera aurifera (spelled in error aurifer) and aurata is 
questionable. . 

* Pelecopselaphus strictus (Linné). Antilles (Kerremans).

The spelling of the family name requires correction, as above. 


Family XLII. CLERID. 

Thanoclerus should read Thaneroclerus and the locality Guadeloupe 
should be inserted for 7. girodi Chevrolat; Fleutiaux (Ann. Soc. Ent. Fr., 
1889, p. 417) records 7. buqueti (Lefebvre) with T. girodi as a synonym, but 
buqueti bemg East Indian Sse aa in Gen. Ins.) girodi is probably the 
the Guadeloupe species. 


Family XLIV. PTINID. 


Gibbium psylloides Czempinski. Montserrat (U. S. N. M.). This is a

Ptinus niveicollis Boieldieu. Cuba (U. S. N. M.). 

Lasioderma serricorne (Fabricius). Cuba (U. S. N. M.); Porto Rico

Champion’s paper, in Trans. Entom. Soc. Lond., 1913, makes some 
changes in this family: Ozognathus is not Antillean and the species referred 
thereto may be a Cryptorama; Petaliwm pulicariwm (Gorham) is a synonym 
of P. antillarum (Pic); Muirosternus levis Gorham belongs to Eupactus 
Leconte; Priotoma brevis? Gorham is P. insularis Champion. — 

Xylographus belongs in Cioide. 

Calymmaderus bibliothecarum (Poey). Porto Rico (Gundlach). 

Atractocerus Palisot (not Latreille) belongs in Lymexylonide. 

Atractocerus brasiliensis (Laporte and Serville) of which A. antillarum 
Vitrac (Insecta, III, 1913, p. 168) is treated as a synonym by Schenckling 
(Coleopterorum Catalogus, pt. 64, 1915). Jamaica (Cockerell).

but von Harold, in Coleopterologische Hefte, I, pp. 29-30, gives Brazil as 
the locality for the species and more recent authors have followed the latter 
record, excepting Fleutiaux and Sallé, who very likely followed Olivier, as 
they had no specimens of this species to verify the records.

Numerous changes are made by Clavareau in the Coleopterorum Cata-_ 
logus, pt. 59: Noda fusca is placed in Glyptoscelis; N. luteicornis is placed 
in Colaspis; Colaspis suffriani Weise is proposed for C. nigricornis; Chalco- 
phana furvida is placed in Colaspis, all other species of Chalcophana in 
Phaneta; Heteraspis nana is placed in Glyptoscelis; Metachroma cubecola

posed for M. suturalis; Myochrous brevicornis is placed in Glyptoscelis; 
M. denticollis is not cited as West Indian. 

Colaspis ebasi should read Colaspis lebasi. 

The following species recorded from the West Indies, in many instances 
on excellent authority, are cited by Clavareau, in Coleopterorum Catalogus, 
pt. 59, only from the following localities but probably without the intention 
of discrediting the published records of West Indian occurrence: Rhabdop- 
tera picipes (Olivier), Massachusetts to Dakota to Carolina; Colaspis fasti- 
diosa (Lefevre), Colombia, Venezuela, Panama; C. obscura Fabricius, South 
America; C. lebasi Lefevre, Columbia, Central America; C. femoralis

Diabrotica pulchella (Jacquelin Duval) is a Phyllobrotica (Schwarz). 

Strike out Hypolampsis nigrina Clark, St. Paul’s Island being not West 
Indian; also Omototus fulvopubescens Clark, the Cuban citation being errone- 
ous.

* Physonota gigantea Boheman. Antilles (Spaeth). 

Strike out Aspidomorpha bajula Boheman, which according to Spaeth 
is a synonym of the East Indian A. sancte crucis (Fabricius). 

A number of changes in position, ete., are proposed in Coleopterorum 
Catalogus, pt. 62, as follows: Mesomphalia enea (Olivier) is placed in Pseu- 
domesomphalia Spaeth; M. exclamationis (Linné) is placed in Hilarocassis 
Spaeth; Chelymorpha angusticollis Suffrian, C. flavicollis Boheman and C, 
swartzii Thunberg are placed in Stoiba Spaeth; C. argus (Lichtenstein) is 
treated as a variety of C. cassidea (Fabricius) and C. polysticha Boheman 
as a variety of C. multipunctata (Olivier). The other generic names under 
which Spaeth catalogues the species formerly placed in Coptocycla are not 
yet adopted by the authors. 

Coptocycla bistripunctata Olivier. Antigua (U.S. N. M.). This name 
was probably cited in error by Fleutiaux and Sallé for sexpunctata Olivier. 

* Coptocycla propinqua (Boheman). Haiti (A. M. N. H.). 

Coptocycla subsignata (Boheman). Haiti, Porto Rico, Cuba (A. M.

* Coptocycla guttata var. fuliginosa (Olivier). Guadeloupe (Champion, 
in Biologia Cen. Am., Col., VI, pt. 2, pp. 194-195). 

According to Champion, J. c., guttata Boheman nec Olivier, 1808, and 
hamulata Boheman are synonyms of signifera (Herbst), but he appears to

have overlooked the discrepancy between Olivier’s original publication in 
1790 and his later work (Cf. H. S. Barber, Proc. Ent. Soc. Washington, 
. XVIII, 1916, pp. 117-118) by which guttata (Olivier) is validated. 


Family LIT. BRUCHID. 


Bruchus chinensis (Linné). Porto Rico (Van Zwaluwenburg). 

* Bruchus amicus Horn. Porto Rico (Van Zwaluwenburg). 

* Bruchus sallei Sharp. Porto Rico (Van Zwaluwenburg). 

Bruchus obtectus Say should be substituted for B. obsoletus Say, when 
that name is used for the bean weevil; add the locality Porto Rico (Van 
Zwaluwenburg). . 

Bruchus rufimanus, change author to Boheman. 

Bruchus sinuatus Fahraeus (fide Horn) is a variety of B. quadrimaculatus 
Fabricius. 

Bruchus tetricus Gyllenhal. Cuba (U.S. N. M.). 

* Caryoborus nucleorum (Fabricius). Cuba (U.S. N. M.). 

Spermophagus hoffmanseggi Gyllenhal was proposed to replace robinie 
Olivier nec Fabricius. It is not equivalent to robinie Fabricius as we have 
it in the Preliminary List but to robinie erroneously cited in Olivier, Ent., 
IV, 1795, no. 79, p. 7, pl. 1, fig. 4 a, b. 


Family LI. TENEBRIONID. 


By a regrettable error, the records for the genus Celotazis derived from 
Guadélupe Island in the Pacific Ocean, were included in our Preliminary 
List. ’ They should all be stricken out, as well as the record for Conibius 
on page 461. 

Dacoderus dominicensis Horn. Cuba (U.S. N. M.). 

* Phaleria variabilis Quedenfeldt. Porto Rico (Gundlach). 

Strike out Rhipidandrus micrographus, as a misidentification of Eutomus 
cornutus. 

Strike out Cherostus as synonymous with Eutomus and C. jamaicensis as 
synonymous with E. cornutus. 

Change Eutomus sulcatus Gorham to Rhipidandrus sulcatus (Gorham). 
Numerous references to these genera are given in two papers: Proc. Ent. 
Soc. Washington, XV, 1913, pp. 188-193 and XVI, 1914, pp. 175-177. A 
letter from H. S. Barber states that he has recently examined larvee of Huto- 
mus fulvomaculatus (Dury) and E. cornutus (Arrow) and finds that they 
agree closely with the larvee of Hledona and Bolitotherus.

Family LIV. ALLECULID. 


Allecula flavipes Jacquelin Duval. Bahamas (U.S. N. M.). The ref- 
erence of West Indian species to Allecula, which is possibly an exclusively 
Old World genus, is questionable in the opinion of Mr. Schwarz; as is also 
the identification of Isoméra sericea Say, which should perhaps read J. valida 
Schwarz, described from Florida.

Family LXX. SCOLYTID. 


The studies of Dr. A. D. Hopkins have made many changes necessary. 
The family name Scolytidz is restored and many species names are added, 
though it may be that some of them are intended to represent taxonomic 
units, which may later be shown to constitute a smaller number of biological 
units. Assuming for the present that each represents a species, the following 
list of Cryphaline is to be substituted (fide Hopkins, Rept. 99) for that given 
in our Preliminary List.

In addition, the following notes are derived from various sources: Kleine 
treats Hypothenemus eruditus Westwood and plumerie as identical; he also 
cites Cryphalus mucronifer Wollaston from St. Vincent. 

Xyleborus ferrugineus (Fabricius). Porto Rico (Gundlach). 

Xyleborus inermis Eichhoff. Cuba (Kleine); Porto Rico (Van Zwaluwen- 
burg). 

Xyleborus grenadensis Hopkins. Porto Rico (U.S. N. M.). 

Xyleborus sacchari Hopkins. Porto Rico (U. S. N. M.). 

XAyleborus perforans (Wollaston). St. Kitts, Barbados, St. Vincent 
(Barber); Jamaica (Cockerell). 

It is to be noted that where these names are not repeated in Dr. Hopkins’s 
list it is possible that the same insect is there recorded as a new species. 
Until his paper on Scolytid synonymy is published such matters can not be 
definitely treated.
