03F08798EF7BFFC8C88EFE693FD8FB9D.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. This small (2.4 mm long) species is immediately recognized by the pair of frontal carinae being strong, distant from the eyes, each arcing toward the meson and becoming approximate between the eyes, and then diverging anterolaterally. A ventral incision of each compound eye is broadly triangular and extends approximately to the center of each eye. Specimens examined. BAHAMAS: Andros Is., Forfar Field Sta., nr Stafford Creek, 22 - 28 - vii- 2006, MC Thomas, TRSmith, UV trap in coastal coppice (1, FSCA). The holotype was examined along with high-resolution images (MCZ Type Database 2014). Notes. This is the “ Aulonothroscus sp. 1 ” of Turnbow and Thomas (2008). Horn (1885) described A. convergens from Georgia. Blanchard (1917), Leng (1920), and Kirk (1969) listed the species from District of Columbia, Georgia, Florida, Louisiana, North Carolina, New York, South Carolina, and Tennessee. This report of A. convergens from The Bahamas provides a new country record.	en	Johnson, Paul J.

03F08798EF7BFFCEC88EFBC93FB5FE1E.taxon	etymology	Etymology. The species epithet “ inawa ” is a noun in apposition and comes from the Taino term “ i na wa ” for the island of Great Inagua, which translates to “ small eastern island ” (Granberry 1991; Granberry and Vescelius 2004).	en	Johnson, Paul J.

03F08798EF7BFFCEC88EFBC93FB5FE1E.taxon	discussion	Discussion. This species represents part of the “ Aulonothroscus sp. 2 ” specimen series of Turnbow and Thomas (2008). In the species key by Blanchard (1917), A. inawa fails to trace through the key due to the combination of entire compound eyes, carinate frons, and long prosternal carinae.	en	Johnson, Paul J.

03F08798EF7DFFCEC88EFE493E0DFA3E.taxon	etymology	Etymology. The species epithet “ sibateo ” is a noun in apposition and is taken from the Taino name of the island of provenance, now called Eleuthera. Sibateo means “ distant rocky land ” (Granberry 1991; Granberry and Vescelius 2004).	en	Johnson, Paul J.

03F08798EF7DFFCEC88EFE493E0DFA3E.taxon	discussion	Discussion. This species represents part of the “ Aulonothroscus sp. 2 ” of Turnbow and Thomas (2008). In Blanchard (1917), A. sibateo fails to fit the key due to the combination of larger body size, entire compound eyes, head with frontal carinae, and the prosternum with strong longitudinal carinae.	en	Johnson, Paul J.
