DISCUSSION.— Stenandrium scabrosum occurs in Cuba and Hispaniola. Stenandrium punctatum was regarded as a synonym by Lindau (1900), León and Alain (1957), and Wasshausen (annotation of holotype in 1975), but it was recognized as a subspecies without comment by Borhidi and Muñiz (1975). Howard (1988) provided locality information for Wright’s type collection of S. punctatum .
