2E1C87CAFF8BB023FDA5BC3C2978FCE7.taxon	discussion	Comments. The tumescent basal plates of females are distinctive and unique within the genus; and only in this species and elegans do the parameres completely conceal the denticle or carina on each lateral wall of the genital cup. Cyptocephala antiguensis lacks the calloused pleural bands that are characteristic of elegans. In the western range of this species, at least as far south as western Panama, the lobes of the parameres are quite unequal inwidth (Fig. 6). In the eastern range these lobes are subequal in width from Puerto Rico southward throughout the Lesser Antilles and South America (Fig. 3, right). However, the typical western form also occurs in Florida, Cuba, and Jamaica, and intermediates between the western and eastern forms occur in Florida, Cuba and Hispaniola (Fig. 3, left). Whether or not there is a comparable zone of intergration in eastern Panama and / or the contiguous part of Colombia is unknown, but most of the few males seen from western Panama do show a narrowing of the anterior lobe.	en	Rolston, L.
