Description

Coelioxys (Neocoelioxys) abdominalis Guérin-Méneville (Fig. 14)

Coelioxys abdominalis Guérin-Méneville 1844: 453. Male and female holotype in MCSNG, and apparently a syntype in NNM.

GD: Barbados, British Virgin Islands (Guana Island), Colombia, Curacao, Dominica, Grenada, Grenadines, Panama, Puerto Rico, Trinidad, United States Virgin Islands (St. Thomas), and Venezuela (Ashmead 1900; Crawford 1914; Cockerell 1937b, 1938; Michener 1954; Snelling 1993; Star and Hook 2003).

The records from Cuba (Sagra 1856; Ashmead 1900; Friese 1902, 1921) are erroneous. Gundlach (1886) noted that this species occurs in Puerto Rico yet not in Cuba.
