Remarks. This species was described from single female specimen from Jamaica and subsequently reported from other localities. It is probable that C. cultus is synonymous with some other species of Chionomus . However, because the holotype is female (with no definitively associated males), we have found no certain method to confidently associate it with any other Chionomus species, and we are reluctant to speculate especially given that C. cultus would be the senior name. The following species of Chionomus are reported from Jamaica: C. havanae , C. balboae , C. dissapatus , C. puellus , C. tenae and C. pacificus . As the holotype is a female, subsequently reported localities are doubtful.
