Abstract

A recent collecting trip to Andros Island in the Bahamas yielded a number of new Bahamian records for the Laemophloeidae. Unless otherwise stated specimens representing the new records were collected in ultraviolet light traps in a hardwood coppice at Forfar Field Station during the period 2-7-VI-2001 by the author, B. K. Dozier, and R. H. Turnbow, and are deposited in the Florida State Collection of Arthropods. Forfar Field Station is located on the east coast of the north island, near the small town of Stafford Creek.
