Abstract

Adults of the new species Cubanotyphlus largo Frank, from Florida, U.S.A., are described, illustrated, and differentiated from adults of C. jimenezi Coiffait and Decou and of C. poeyi Decou, which are known only from Cuba. Distinguishing characteristics of Cubanotyphlus and of the 12 other described genera of New World Neotyphlini are given in a table, as are bibliographic citations and distribution of the 39 known species of New World Leptotyphlinae. The habitat of C. largo in the northern part of Key Largo, Monroe Co., Florida has been threatened by encroaching urban development but recently has been listed for acquisition and conservation by the government of Florida.

Résumé

On décrit avec figures les adultes de l'espèce nouvelle Cubanotyphlus largo Frank de Floride, E.-U. On compare ces adultes avec les adultes de C. jimenezi Coiffait et Decou et C. poeyi Decou qui sont connus seulement de Cuba. Les caractères de Cubanotyphlus et des 12 autres genres de Neotyphlini connus du Nouveau Monde sont fournies dans un tableau. Les citations bibliographiques et la distribution des 39 espèces de Leptotyphlinae connues du Nouveau Monde sont fournies dans un deuxième tableau. L'habitat de C. largo, situé dans la moitié nord de l'Ile Largo en Floride, a été menacé par le développement urbain, mais récemment le site a été designé pour l'acquisition et la conservation par le gouvernement de Floride.
