SUBFAMILYTRECHINAE

TRIBETRECHINI

Perileptus dentifer Darlington 1935: 177 ; Daltry 2009: 63. Distribution. Guadeloupe *, St. Lucia, St. Vincent *; widespread Lesser Antillesendemic.

TRIBEBEMBIDIINI

SUBTRIBEBEMBIDIINA

Bembidion darlingtoni Mutchler 1934: 3 ; Ivie et al. 2008b: 238; Thomas et al. 2013: 14. Distribution. Antigua *, Caymans, Montserrat, Puerto Rico; widespread Antillesendemic.

Bembidion spretum Dejean 1831: 70 ; Erwin and Sims 1984: 432. Distribution. Antigua, Hispaniola, Puerto Rico. Mexico ; widespread Antillesand North and/or Central America .

SUBTRIBETACHYINA

Elaphropus singularis (Andrewes) 1925: 393 ( Tachys ); Ivieet al. 2008b: 238. Distribution. Montserrat. Old World: Celebes; introduced to the Lesser Antilles.

Limnastis sp. , new genus record, new species record; H. Goulet det., Nov., 2011. Distribution. Antigua *, Nevis *; Lesser Antilles endemic? Notes. Erwin and Sims 1984: 381 report that the only New World species in thegenus is Limnastis americana Darlington 1934: 85 of Cuba.

Micratopus insularis Darlington 1935: 177 ; Miskimen and Bond 1970: 79; Erwin and Sims 1984: 430; Ivie et al. 2008b: 238; Turnbowand Thomas 2008: 13; Thomaset al. 2013: 15. Distribution. Bahamas, Caymans, Montserrat, Puerto Rico, St. Croix; widespread Antillesendemic.

Micratopus sp. 1 , “cayman” undescribed species. Distribution. Barbados *, det. T. Erwin, (CMNC, USNM); other unspecified islands; widespread Antilles endemic.

Micratopus sp. 2 , “croix” undescribed species. Distribution. Barbados *, det. T. Erwin, (CMNC, USNM), Hispaniola, Jamaica, St. Lucia (FSCA, also Daltry 2009: 63); widespread Antillesendemic. Notes. Widespread on Barbados and common at u. v. light traps.

Mioptachys autumnalis Bates 1882: 137 ; Erwin and Sims 1984: 429; Ivieet al. 2008b: 238. Distribution. Cuba, Dominica, Grenada *, Guadeloupe, Montserrat, St. Vincent *. Mexico , Guatemala, Nicaragua, Panama; widespread Antilles and North and/or Central America . Notes. The genus needs revision and the species identities in the Lesser and Greater Antilles are questionable. Daltry 2009: 63 reports a new species from St. Lucia.

Paratachys abruptus (Darlington) 1934: 80 ( Tachys ); Mateu 1977: 378; Erwin and Sims 1984: 430. Distribution. Cuba, Dominica, Guadeloupe (type locality), Hispaniola ; widespread Antillesendemic. Note. Ivie et al. (2008b: 238) report three unidentified species in this genus from Montserrat, and Daltry (2009: 63) reports six species from St. Lucia. The genus requires a special study and many species may be present, and hundreds are present in the Neotropics (Erwin and Sims 1984: 384); new island records are not given here because of uncertainty in species names for the new material.

Paratachys albipes LeConte 1863: 20 ; Erwin and Sims 1984: 430. = Tachys putzeysi Fleutiaux and Sallé 1890: 368 of Guadeloupe. Distribution. Guadeloupe, probably introduced. USA (LA-FL-NC); introduced to the Lesser Antilles?

Ivie, pers. comm., 2010); introduced to the Lesser Antilles; native to Madagascar, and seemingly widespread (but Ihave not been able to find this stated in the literature). Plate 1.
