Abstract.
Hymenorus farri CampheW (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae: Alleculinae) appears to be spreading as a "weed species" in the Caribbean region. The beetle is diagnosed and illustrated. New country distribution records are reported for the Bahamas, Belize, Guatemala, Mexico, Puerto Rico. Turks and Caicos Islands, U.S.A. (Florida), and the Virgin Islands, and additional collections from the Cayman Islands are noted. The occurrences, habitats, biogeography, and uncertain origin of the insect are discussed.
