Amerohelea galindoi Grogan and Wirth View in CoL

Amerohelea galindoi Grogan and Wirth, 1981: 1294 View in CoL ( Colombia; Panama, Venezuela); Borkent and Spinelli 2000: 59 (in New World catalog south of the USA; distribution); Borkent and Spinelli 2007: 92 (in Neotropical catalog; distribution).

Discussion. This strictly New World predaceous genus is primarily Neotropical with only one species, A. frontispina (Dow and Turner) , occurring in the Nearctic region as far north as California and Texas ( Borkent and Grogan 2009). We provide the first Caribbean records of Amerohelea from Guadeloupe.

New records. Guadeloupe, Basse Terre, Trace des Cretes (D-14), 22-V-2012, R. H. Turnbow, BL trap, 6 males, 5 females. New Guadeloupe record.
