Dyscinetus picipes Burmeister

Dyscinetus picipes is found over most of the southwestern United States and Colorado, Kansas and Nebraska; it also occurs in Mexico and much of the West Indies ( Chapin 1932; Saylor 1945; Endrödi 1966). Specimens of D. picipes from the Bahamas have the punctation on the frons and pronotum shallower but just as dense as that of mainland specimens. This species seems to be established on Great Inagua.
