Pantaleonius toschiorum Tauber, n. gen., n.sp., is described from several islands in the Bahamas and Greater Antilles of the West Indies. For comparison, Abachrysa eureka Banks from southeastern United States is redescribed, and data on the three remaining New World belonopterygine genera, Vieira Navás, Nacarina Navás, and Belonopteryx Gerstaecker, are summarized. A key for identifying the New World belonopteryine genera is included. Although recognizably distinct, Pantaleonius shares several features with Vieira, which is considered basal within Belonopterygini. Both genera are quite different from Abachrysa Banks, which is known to be derived among the New World belonopterygines and also closely related to the Old World belonopterygine clade.

InImperialism at Home, Susan Meyer explores Charlotte Brontë's metaphorical use of race and empire in Jane Eyre. In particular, she is struck by Brontë's repeated allusions to bondage and slavery and wonders, “Why would Brontë write a novel permeated with the imagery of slavery, and suggesting the possibility of a slave uprising, in 1846, after the emancipation of the British slaves had already taken place?” (71). Meyer speculates, “Perhaps the eight years since emancipation provided enough historical distance for Brontë to make a serious and public, although implicit, critique of British slavery and British imperialism in the West Indies” (71). Perhaps. More likely, I would argue, is the possibility that Brontë was thinking not of West Indian slavery, but of American slavery.

abstract The long duration and high frequency of P and S phases from earthquakes along the West Indian island are are deseribed. These phases have been described previously in the literature without explanation. It is shown that the long duration, high frequency, and velocity of both phases can be explained as due to a minimum velocity channel slightly below the M-discontinuity. Other observations are shown to indicate the probable presence of the minimum velocity channel.
