( Fig. 2)

Xenorhipis vauriei Cazier 1952:3 View in CoL . Current valid name.

Isophaenus israeli Zayas 1988: 40 View in CoL . Synonymy by Ivie (1991: 400).

Type locality: CUBA: Oriente Province, Guantánamo, Tortuguilla. Zayas (1988: 41) cited a single specimen. The holotype is a male .

Ivie (1991) proposed the synonymy of I. israeli Zayas with X. vauriei Cazier , described from South Bimini Island, Bahamas, without further discussion. We have compared our image of the holotype of I. israeli with an image of the male holotype of X. vauriei ( AMNH, available at http://research.amnh.org/invertzoo/ types_db/details.php?specimen_id559) and concur that the two specimens are conspecific.
