Introduction
Little has changed since Wallace (1876) and almost a century later Geijskes & Wagenaar Hummelinck (1951) wrote that only few have occupied themselves with the entomology of the Antilles. There is still a lot more to discover than is known at present about the islands’ insect fauna. Ivie et al. (2008a) discuss the considerable challenges of conducting invertebrate inventories in the Antilles. Major problems are caused by the so-called taxonomic impediment, i.e. the gap in our taxonomic knowledge and the shortage of trained taxonomists for the Antillean region. As far as the Coleoptera are concerned the only relatively well-studied groups in the Antilles comprise the larger species of families such as the Carabidae, Scarabaeidae, Cerambycidae and Tenebrionidae. Bright (2019) recently published a comprehensive review of the Scolytinae which is now probably the best studied group in the Antilles. For most other groups modern revisions are lacking. The number of new provisional and genus-level records in this paper and others (e.g. Ivie et al. 2008b) illustrate that fact.
Peck (2011, 2016) recently published an overview of the beetles of the Lesser Antilles, including the northern Dutch Antilles. These papers are largely based on Blackwelder’s (1944–1957) “Checklist of the coleopterous insects of Mexico, Central America, the West Indies, and South America”. The present report offers a first critical review of all published records of the islands of the Dutch Antilles including information about their collectors and important collections. A number of new island records for the Dutch Antilles are also added, as well as corrections and additions to the checklists by Blackwelder (1944–1957) and Peck (2011, 2016) for the non-Dutch northern Leeward Islands.
The islands of the (former) Dutch Antilles
The (former) Dutch Antilles comprise the islands Aruba, Bonaire and Curaçao (also called the ABC islands) in the Leeward Antilles near the northeastern Venezuelan coast and Saba, St. Eustatius and St. Maarten in the northern Leeward Islands (Fig. 1). The two islands groups are approximately 900 km apart. St. Maarten is the southern part of the island St. Martin which is politically divided between the Netherlands and France (Fig. 2). Saba (Fig. 3), St. Eustatius (Fig. 4) and Bonaire (Fig. 5) are currently special municipalities of the Netherlands while Aruba (Fig. 6), Curaçao (Fig. 7) and St. Maarten are independent countries within the Kingdom of The Netherlands. The former French part of St. Martin is a separate overseas collectivity (collectivité d’outre-mer) of France. For convenience the term “former” is omitted in the rest of the text. Table 1 gives the basic properties and the number of Coleoptera species currently known for each island.

Climate
The islands of the Leeward Antilles are situated in the Southern Caribbean Dry Zone and have a semi-arid tropical marine climate. The mean annual precipitation amounts to 550 mm with a large year-to-year variation: the standard deviation is larger than the mean. Rain falls irregularly, chiefly in short-lived showers that are often local. There is a “dry season” from February till September. The amount of precipitation during these months is about 200 mm in Curaçao and Bonaire, and less than 150 mm in Aruba. In the “rainy season”, from October till January, the average precipitation lies between 300 and 350 mm. Temperatures are rather constant over the year with a difference of only 3°C in average daily temperatures. The average annual temperature in the Leeward Antilles is approximately 28°C. The Leeward Antilles are located on the southern boundary of the Atlantic hurricane region and, contrary to the Leeward Islands, the hurricane experience level for the islands is considered to be very small. Roughly once every 100 years considerable damage has been experienced by a hurricane passing over the islands (Martis et al. 2002, MDNA&A 2009, 2010, CBS 2010, 2011).
Saba, St. Eustatius and St. Martin have a wetter tropical marine climate. With a mean annual precipitation of around 1000 mm, the Leeward Islands receive about twice as much rain as the islands of the Leeward Antilles. However, all weather stations are located in lowland areas and rainfall on the mountains of Saba and St. Eustatius is certainly higher, possibly as much as twice the amount the lowlands receive. The wettest months, with an average monthly precipitation between 90 and 150 mm, are August till December. There is a relatively dry period between January and April. As on the islands of the Leeward Antilles, temperatures are rather constant over the year with an average annual temperature of about 27°C. The Leeward Islands are located within the Atlantic hurricane belt. The “official” Atlantic hurricane season runs from June through November but occasionally starts as early as May and may extend to December. Almost every year at least one tropical cyclone comes within a range of 100 nautical miles and on average once every four to five years hurricane conditions are experienced on the islands. The most recent hurricane was the extremely powerful and catastrophic hurricane Irma which hit the islands in September 2017. It was the first category 5 hurricane on record to strike the Leeward Islands (MDNA&A 2009, 2010, CBS 2010).
Geology
Aruba, Bonaire, and Curaçao lie along the crest of the so-called Leeward Antilles ridge. This ridge was formed by a series of complicated tectonic interactions between the Caribbean and South American plates. Although considered continental islands, the Leeward Antilles ridge is actually located between the Caribbean and the South American plates with Bonaire and Curaçao both separated from the Venezuelan mainland, and each other, by more than 1000 m deep seas. Aruba is the only island that is separated from the Venezuelan mainland by a relatively shallow sea with a maximum depth of approximately 180 m. The islands of this group are relatively flat and consist of volcanic rocks partly covered with marine sediments and limestone deposits (Wagenaar Hummelinck 1940, Hippolyte & Mann 2011, Schmutz et al. 2017).
The Leeward Islands form a double arc of two geologically different groups of islands. St. Eustatius and Saba are part of the inner arc consisting of relatively young and active high volcanic islands. The former has two volcanic areas. The northern hills are the remnants of an extinct 500 million-year-old volcano. The southern Quill, is a dormant 601 m high stratovolcano that has not erupted for more than 1600–1700 years. On the southern side of the Quill lies a steep limestone cliff, an uplifted and tilted part of marine sediment of shallow-water origin that was displaced by submarine volcanic activity. During the Last Glacial Maximum St. Eustatius was connected to the neighbouring islands St. Kitts and Nevis. Mount Scenery (887 m) on Saba is also a dormant volcano although it is considered potentially active. It last erupted around the time the first European settlers arrived in 1640. Saba is very mountainous with steep slopes and ravines. Saba’s cliffs drop off precipitously into the surrounding sea. The island is separated from the nearby Saba Bank by a 600–700 m deep trough and was probably never connected to any other land mass. St. Martin is located in the outer arc. The islands of this arc are lower and are eroded remnants of extinct volcanoes that have been covered with marine sediments and limestone deposits. During the Last Glacial Maximum St. Martin was connected to the neighbouring islands Anguilla and St. Barthélemy (Westerman 1957, Westermann & Kiel 1961, Roobol & Smith 2004, de Freitas et al. 2014, 2016).
Vegetation
Due to the combined effects of the arid climate, overgrazing by introduced goats and donkeys, and the felling of trees in the past the natural vegetation on the Leeward Antilles is dominated by secondary scrub communities. Grazing has also led to the dominance of thorny and grazing-resistant species. On the northeastern coasts the soil is fully exposed to the prevailing trade winds and the landscape has a rough and arid appearance with little vegetation. On the more sheltered coasts beach vegetation can be found, in some parts connected to mangrove swamps (Fig. 8). Inland the islands are sparsely vegetated with cactus scrub and thorny woodlands (Fig. 9) which are partly evergreen and partly deciduous (Wagenaar Hummelinck 1940, Stoffers 1956, Beers et al. 1997, de Freitas et al. 2005).

Saba, St. Eustatius and St. Martin are wetter and are less subject to trade winds. Although lying relatively close together, the islands all have their own characteristics. On Saba the lower arid hills up to approximately 200 m are covered with Croton thickets that are very poor in plant species. Above this area secondary woodlands can be found. These woodlands are partly derived from dry evergreen forest and partly from seasonal forest. The volcanic slopes between 400 and 800 m were largely covered by rainforest and palm brake in former times. At present, these slopes host secondary rainforest vegetation which includes up to 4 m tall tree ferns. The top of Mt. Scenery supports montane cloud forest (Fig. 10).

The (semi-)natural vegetation on St. Eustatius is largely limited to the two volcanic areas and the coast. The central part of the island around Oranjestad consists of an open urbanised and (former) agricultural plain called the Cultuurvlakte. Along the coasts some small sandy beaches can be found (Fig. 11). The northern hills are relatively dry. The vegetation consists of open, grassy shrubland and dry forest that is partly evergreen and partly deciduous. The vegetation on the Quill (Fig. 12) is very diverse and ranges from dry deciduous forest with relatively low trees on the lower slopes to humid evergreen forest with trees up to 40 metres high on the bottom of the crater (Fig. 13).

Due to intense agricultural development in the past St. Martin is now largely covered by secondary vegetation derived from seasonal or dry evergreen forests. There are just a few small areas located on the hills and peaks with original semi-evergreen seasonal forest. The secondary vegetation ranges from Croton thickets to thorny shrubland and woods. The coastal area hosts diverse landscapes with many bays and lagoons, steep rocky cliffs and sandy beaches. Along the coasts and the inland waterways small remnants of mangrove forests and other types of coastal vegetation can be found (Stoffers 1956, Rojer 1997a, 1997b, 1997c, de Freitas et al. 2014, 2016, van Andel et al. 2016).
Methods
Bibliographic study
To compile this catalogue the first author conducted an extensive study of the literature. Peck (2011, 2016) served as an excellent starting point for the Dutch northern Antilles. For the southern Dutch Antilles no such comprehensive review was available and the literature is very scattered. The Zoological Record (1864 to present), Google Scholar and WorldCat were used to search for literature records. Although riddled with errors and unreferenced deletions, the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF) holds useful information and was critically screened for additional species records. The citizen-science websites Observation.org and iNaturalist were also screened for additional species records with photos. All species references listed in papers pertaining to (former) Dutch Antillean island records were checked, going back to the first published island records as well as the original descriptions of each species.
Data included
The first part of this catalogue provides an overview of collectors that have been active in the Dutch Antilles. In the following systematic catalogue all Dutch Antillean Coleoptera records based on preserved museum specimens (vouchers) are listed (see also Table 2). If these are unclear or records are solely based on photos the records are considered provisional, the island name is placed within square brackets and an annotation is added. We did not include species recorded without vouchers for which voucher-based records have already been published. Clearly erroneous or unlikely records in GBIF were discarded without comment. All records in Touroult’s GBIF datasets (Touroult 2019a, b) are listed as “human observation” but about 90% of his data are based on vouchers (Touroult in litt. 2020). As such, all his GBIF records are included here.
For each entry the species name, author, island name, reference and if available exact location and collector of vouchers (or observer in case of records from the citizen-science websites iNaturalis and Observation.org) are listed. In case of a formal species description a comma is included in the citation. All other citations are listed without this comma and with a colon between the species name and the author. No division has been made between the Dutch and French parts of St. Martin and all records of this island are included. Erroneous or questionable records for the Dutch Antilles are treated in a separate chapter.
While working on the catalogue a number of errors and omissions were discovered in Peck’s (2011, 2016) checklists including records for the other islands of the northern Leeward Islands (Anguilla, Antigua, Barbuda, Nevis, St. Barthélemy and St. Kitts and here also including Montserrat). Various records from recent publications and citizen-science records have also been added to his checklists. As far as species present on the Dutch islands are concerned, corrections and (provisional) additions to Peck (2011, 2016) are included in the main text of the systematic catalogue. Annotations on species not present on the Dutch islands are listed in a separate final chapter.
Classification and taxonomy
For convenience the (sub)familial level classification of the most recent review of the beetles of the Lesser Antilles (Peck 2016) is followed. This is that of Arnett & Thomas (2001) and Arnett et al. (2002), modified from Lawrence & Newton (1995). The taxonomic ranks tribe, subtribe, subgenus and subspecies are not used. Species names are arranged alphabetically.
Field work
The St. Eustatius Scientific Terrestrial Expedition (Fig. 13) took place from 2 to 18 October 2015 and was organised by Naturalis Biodiversity Center in cooperation with the St. Eustatius National Parks Foundation (STENAPA). The expedition formed the main reason to start compiling this catalogue.
A team of researchers of Naturalis, the European Invertebrate Survey The Netherlands (EIS), the Dutch Mammal Society (VZZ), the Reptile, Amphibian & Fish Conservation Netherlands (RAVON) and students led by the last author conducted a rapid inventory of the biodiversity of the island. All authors collected Coleoptera during the expedition. Unless stated otherwise in the text, these were identified by the first author and are now partly housed in the author’s private collection and partly in the collection of Naturalis Biodiversity Center. R. Butôt was responsible for laboratory logistics.
The primary aim of the expedition was to investigate which taxonomic groups could stand as surrogates for others in conservation assessments. To this end, 11 plots measuring 25 × 25 m were set out in which plants, vertebrates, gastropods and selected arthropods were sampled using several techniques including beating, sweeping, sieving, yellow pan, pitfall, Malaise and Winkler traps (Fig. 14). The results of this systematic research study will be published elsewhere (see also Miller et al. 2017, 2019).

The expedition further aimed at collecting baseline data on the biodiversity of St. Eustatius as a whole. In some of the plots light traps were set up. Outside the plots specific habitats such as dung, carrion (Fig. 15), dead wood, washed-up seaweed, small pools and water reservoirs were sampled (Figs 16, 17). A separate Malaise trap was set up on the slopes of the Quill. The results of this more opportunistic sampling approach are included in this paper.

History of beetle collecting in the Dutch Antilles
The list of beetle collectors below offers an overview of beetle collecting and short biographies of those who visited the Dutch islands and collected beetles. Collectors of single specimens are only included in the species listings. The overview also contains information about important collections. Although a considerable number of people have been collecting Coleoptera on the islands, only a small part of these collections has actually been studied or published.

The main purpose of the Institute is the systematic, ethological and biogeographical study of entomological taxa in the Caribbean and South America. Chalumeau published extensively on Caribbean beetles and graduated on a thesis on the Scarabaeoidea of the southern Antillean islands Guadeloupe, Dominica and Martinique. He visited St. Martin several times. His scientific collections are in INRA-CRAAG (Chalumeau 1983a, Peck 2016, Chalumeau 2020). His last and main entomological publication is “The Chiasognathinae of the Andes” (Chalumeau & Brochier 2007). Chalumeau is a writer and historian too.
Clarke, John Frederick Gates (JFGC)
American entomologist specialised in Microlepidoptera. His early professional training and experience were in pharmacy but he later switched to zoology and entomology. Clarke collected on 30 Antillean islands among which was St. Martin.

Citation: Tijdschrift voor Entomologie 162, 2-3 (2019) ; 10.1163/22119434-bja10006
Associate Professor and Curator of Entomology in the Department of Plant Science and Plant Pathology at Montana State University which among other collections holds the important West Indian Beetle Fauna Project Collection. Ivie leads the West Indian Beetle Fauna Project at Montana State University, in cooperation with coleopterists world-wide. The project started in the late 1970s and continues. Ivie has visited all the northern Dutch Antilles although Saba was most extensively sampled. Along with Derek S. Sikes (see there), David Wagner and Piotr Nastrecki, Ivie visited Saba from 18 to 26 May 2008. Collections were made throughout the island using a variety of traps and added to those collected by Sikes and Jozef A. Slowik (see there) in March of that year, as well as material from traps running March to May. The beetles from these efforts, added to specimens collected by Borys Malkin 11–15 January 1968, and by Richard and Niki Miller’s brief visit in March 1986, resulted in a list of nearly 300 species of beetles represented by over 3,200 specimens. Since that time, more material has been added from the collecting by Gillett and Bright. Specimens of other orders have not been studied, but are of a smaller extent. Ivie visited St. Eustatius on 27 and 28 May 2008, making small collections (est. 35 beetle species). Brief visits over the years to St. Maarten/St. Martin and donations from collaborators have resulted in very limited holdings from that island. Ivie has published extensively on Caribbean beetles and the material from his work has been included in many other works (Maier & Ivie 2013, Peck & Cook 2014, Hart & Ivie 2016, Shpeley et al. 2017, Bright 2019, Ivie in litt. 2020).

One of the apostles of Linnaeus and the first to visit St. Eustatius to collect beetles; arrived by ship from Suriname on 12 February 1756 and left the island on 23 February 1756. During this short visit Rolander collected, among others, Dermestes eustatius Linnaeus, 1758, a taxon which according to Háva (2015) is not a dermestid beetle but a scolytine. The type is in de Charles de Geer collection in NHRS (Dobreff et al. 2009, Dobreff 2010) but its current taxonomic status is unclear.
Sallé, Auguste (AS)
French collector who, together with his mother and a friend of hers, regularly explored Mexico, the Antilles and South America. Sallé’s expeditions were financed by a group of investors, chiefly Louis Alexandre Auguste Chevrolat, who shared the collected insects among the shareholders. Sallé’s private collection was especially rich in species from Mexico, the Dominican Republic, Venezuela and the United States. It was sold at an auction by Émile Deyrolle in 1897. Most of his collection eventually ended up in the MNHN in Paris via entomologists like Fleutiaux, Grouvelle, Oberthür, Sédillot and Théry (Cambefort 2006). Among the Dutch Antilles, at least Curaçao was visited by Sallé. Mulsant & Rey (1859) described Goajiria curta based on specimens collected on Curaçao by Sallé.

Probably the most active historic collector in the Antilles. Wagenaar Hummelinck worked at the Zoological Laboratory Utrecht and collected in all the Dutch Antilles as well as Venezuela, Columbia, Suriname and numerous other islands in the Caribbean. Altogether he made nine, often extended, trips to the area. Wagenaar Hummelinck published a comprehensive catalogue of all his collection sites (Wagenaar Hummelinck 1981). His interests covered a wide field including zoology, archaeology and geology. As far as beetles are concerned, he studied the Caribbean tiger beetles (Wagenaar Hummelinck 1955, 1983).
Among his many other activities, Wagenaar Hummelinck was involved in the foundation of the “Natuurwetenschappelijke Studiekring voor Suriname en de Nederlandse Antillen” (Foundation for Scientific Research in Surinam and the Netherlands Antilles), the “Natuurwetenschappelijke Werkgroep Nederlandse Antillen” (Natural Science Study Group of the Netherlands Antilles) and the “Caraïbisch Marien-Biologisch Instituut” (Caribbean Marine Biological Institute; CARMABI). From 1953 until 1988 he was also (managing) editor of “Studies on the Fauna of Curaçao and other Caribbean Islands” and between 1946 and 1986 of currently one of the longest running scholarly journals on the Caribbean: “(Nieuwe) West-Indische Gids” [(New) West-Indian Guide] (van der Steen 1988, Debrot & Bak 2019).
In their review of entomological research in the Netherlands Antilles Geijskes & Wagenaar Hummelinck (1951) stated that “… all the material is at the Amsterdam and Leiden Musea and the results will, in due course, be published in Studies on the fauna of Curaçao….”. However, at present still only a very small part of his extensive collection (now largely in the RMNH), has been studied. Parts of his beetles are also housed in AMNH, BMNH, DMAG, HEC, RBINS, SDEI, USNM, UWIC, ZMHB, ZMUC, Michael Ivie’s private collection and probably others.

Calosoma alternans: Lemaire 2017: 55 – Grande Anse, EP
Breuning (1927) listed a specimen in the collection of the Zoologische Museum Hamburg from “Brasilien: Curaçao”. A place called Curaçao in Brazil could not been found in any gazetteer and is here considered a typographic error. A widespread species which is also present on the northern coast of Venezuela and the island Isla Margarita (Gidaspow 1963), areas that both lie near Curaçao. Gerard van Buurt recently sent a photo of this species taken by Facundo Franken on Aruba.
Leng & Mutchler (1917), followed by Blackwelder (1944a: 20), listed this species for Barbuda based on a record in the West Indian Bulletin (probably Ballou 1912: 457). Without clarification it was not listed by Peck (2011, 2016) although he did so earlier in his Barbados checklist (Peck 2009a). The record in Leng & Mutchler (1917) was probably erroneous because Ballou recorded this species from Bermuda (and not Barbuda) and St. Vincent.

Dejean (1829) recorded the type locality as “île Saint -Barthélémy” but Peck (2011) did not list the species. Peck (2016) recorded it from Bahamas, Puerto Rico and “unspecified Leeward Islands”. Shpeley et al. (2017: 85–86), although listing the type locality as “Saint Barthélemy, Leeward Islands, Lesser Antilles” recorded the geographical distribution of the nominal subspecies as “only from Puerto Rico and the two Lesser Antillean islands of Anguilla and St. Martin”. Saint-Barthélemy should be added to the range.

Carabus sinuatus Gyllenhal, 1806: 203 is a primary junior homonym of Carabus sinuatus Gmelin, 1790 and synonymous with Selenophorus parumpunctatus (Bousquet 2012). Although the types of sinuatus were reported to come from “America Insulis” by Gyllenhal, Dejean (1829: 106) noted that Schönherr sent specimens to him as originating from St. Barthélemy, an island not listed in Peck (2011, 2016). Bousquet (2012) stated that the whereabouts of the types are unknown and that they are probably in UUZM. Bousquet proves to be right. The four syntypes are listed in GBIF (Telenius & Shah 2016). Shpeley et al. (2017: 185) further added Anguilla, St. Kitts, Nevis and Barbuda to the range as published by Peck (2011, 2016).

Hybosorus illigeri: This study – Zeelandia, EOC; Oranjestad, EOC
New species record for the Lesser Antilles. Collected from bovine dung near the beach at Zeelandia and from inside a light fixture in Oranjestad. Introduced, native to southern Europe. Hitherto known in the Antilles from Jamaica (Howden 1970), the Bahamas and Cuba (Kuijten 1983), and the Dominican Republic (Ocampo 2002). Ballerio et al. (2018) recently petitioned the ICZN to conserve the name Hybosorus illigeri by giving it precedence over several very rarely used senior synonyms.
Family SCARABAEIDAE Latreille, 1802: 144
Ivie et al. (2009) listed eight species of this family from Saba. The present paper contains information on seven which means that at least one, as yet unpublished, other species is present on the island.

New provisional species record for St. Eustatius. A single female specimen sieved from leaf litter. As far as we are aware, Peck (2016) was the first to list Montserrat but he did so without the asterisk used in his paper for new island records.
Psammodius viti Chalumeau, 1983b: 83
St. Eustatius
Psammodius sp. aff. viti: This study – Concordia Bay, EOC
New genus record for St. Eustatius. A single specimen collected from a sandy beach under algae. Psammodius viti is only known from Les Saintes (Rakovič 1990, Gordon & Pittino 1992).
Subfamily CETONIINAE Leach, 1815: 99
Cotinis Burmeister, 1842: 254
Aruba
Cotinis species: This study – no locality, C.E. Fun
New genus record for Aruba. A female that keyed out as Cotinis mutabilis (Gory & Percheron, 1834: 70) in the key of Gasca-Álvarez & Deloya (2015). However, it did not completely match the species’ description. A search through the RMNH collection revealed 14 other specimens from Aruba but none from the other southern Dutch Antilles. The dissected aedeagus of a male specimen did not match that of C. mutabilis. Further study is needed to establish the identity of the Aruban Cotinis. For the year of publication of C. mutabilis see Bousquet (2016).

Onthophagus gazella: Yokoyama 2013: 83 – without further data
New species record for St. Eustatius. Collected from bovine dung at the beach near Zeelandia, from bovine dung in Oranjestad and at light in Oranjestad. Listed and photographed by Yokoyama (2013) and shown as present with reference to Yokoyama on the website of the INPN (2020) for St. Martin. It is not clear if vouchers are available. As far as we could trace Peck (2010) was the first to list Antigua but it is unclear on which basis.
Introduced, native to Africa. The genus was recently revised by Génier & Moretto (2017). Their conclusions were that Digitonthophagus gazella comprises a species complex with 14 species and the name of the widely introduced species would be D. dorcas (Olivier, 1789a) if the principle of priority is applied (see also Génier & Davis 2017). To maintain nomenclatural stability an application has been submitted to the International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature to conserve the name Scarabaeus gazella Fabricius, 1787a (Génier & Krell 2017).

Not listed by Peck (2011, 2016) for the Antilles. Schaaf (1971: 62) also listed Antigua. In light of the disjunct distribution [i.e. Texas, Mexico, Belize, Honduras, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama, Colombia, Peru, Ecuador, Brazil, Paraguay, Argentina and the two Caribbean islands (Aguirre-Tapiero & Johnson 2014)] and the fact that Schaaf described this species as extremely variable, Physorhinus distigma sensu Schaaf might prove to be a complex of related species.

Carpophilus pilosellus: Connell 1963: 90 – without further data
Introduced. As Peck (2016) already mentioned there is confusion regarding the limits of several species of Carpophilus. African and European specimens of C. pilosellus auct. nec Motschulsky, 1858: 41 were identified as C. truncatus Murray, 1864: 381 by Audisio (1982, 2011) and Kirejtshuk (1996). The true identity of the American specimens is as yet unknown. Carpophilus pilosellus Motschulsky, 1858 should be considered synonymous with C. mutilatus Erichson, 1843: 258 (Kirejtshuk 1996, Jelínek & Audisio 2007).

Sieved from leaf litter. Despite the fact that both of Gyllenhal’s names are based on specimens from St. Eustatius, Stelidota strigosa is only listed for the island by Parsons (1943) and not by subsequent authors including Blackwelder (1945) and Peck (2011, 2016). Also present on Montserrat (Ivie et al. 2008b). Peck (2016) did refer to Ivie et al. (2008b) under S. strigosa but listed their record under S. thoracica Kirsch, 1873: 142.

Monanus concinnulus: This study – The Quill, EOC, MK & AJW
New species record for St. Eustatius; introduced. Sieved from leaf litter. Peck (2016) listed Cathartus quadricollis (Guérin-Méneville, 1837): pl. 41 for Montserrat probably with reference to Ivie et al. (2008b: 249). However, there is no such record there. Ivie et al. (2008b) did list Monanus concinnus (sic!) (Walker) which very probably refers to this species. Monanus concinnulus was not listed in Peck (2016) for Montserrat nor is Ivie et al.

St. Eustatius
Litostilbus testaceus: This study – Botanical Garden, KB; The Quill, EOC
New species record for St. Eustatius. Peck (2016), probably based on Blackwelder (1945), who listed “Litostilbus testaceus Fabricius, 1775: 83” with the remark that there is a questionable record from St. Thomas. L. testaceus was described by Fabricius in 1792 as Sphaeridium testaceum with type locality “America meridionalis Insulis” which was later restricted to St. Thomas by Gimmel (2013). There is also a record from the Cayman Islands (Thomas et al. 2013). At present Litostilbus contains two New World species: L. testaceus [lectotype digitised (Natural History Museum of Denmark 2020)] and L. tristriatus (Casey, 1890) [not Casey, 1893 as in Arnett et al. (2002) and Peck (2016), see Bousquet (2012) and Gimmel (2013)], type from Florida. In his genus-level revision of the family Phalacridae, Gimmel (2013) stated that the two species are probably synonymous. If Gimmel’s impression is correct Litostilbus testaceus (Fabricius, 1792) is the valid name for this species.

Family COCCINELLIDAE Latreille, 1807: 70
Numerous species of this family have been introduced in the Antilles for biological control. These introduced species were not always correctly identified and it is also not always clear whether the various species actually established themselves on the islands. Moreover, records for this family are often anecdotal. Except for the various papers by Gordon, only Peck (2016, in part.) and Bennett & Simmonds (1964) explicitly state that their records are based on vouchers. Duverger (2001) compiled a checklist for the Coccinellidae of the Lesser Antilles based on literature records and his own observations. It is unclear if these records are based on vouchers. Duverger’s work has not been published but is available on the Internet. Ivie et al. (2009) listed 18 species of this family from Saba. The present paper contains information on four which means that at least 14, as yet unpublished, other species are present on the island.

Until Gordon (1994) published his revision of Delphastus, species in this genus were often misidentified, a trend that still continues because of unfamiliarity with this work (see for instance Booth & Polaszek 1996, Hoelmer & Pickett 2003, González et al. 2012, González 2015). Reports of Delphastus species must thus be dealt with very critically. Duverger (2001) referred to literature records for D. catalinae and D. quinculus for St. Martin without mentioning the source(s). We have not been able to find these.
Subfamily SCYMNINAE Mulsant, 1846: 189

They described the new species H. pseudodonzeli (see below) and listed a paratype from Curaçao. However, they did not investigate a specimen from St. Eustatius. Which of the two, if any, is present on St. Eustatius is unclear.

Nephaspis bootes: Peck 2006: 187 – without further data
In his first revision of Nephaspis Gordon (1972) listed a Nephaspis-specimen from Curaçao as N. amnicola. This taxon was later synonymised with N. oculata (Gordon 1985). In his second revision Gordon (1997) stated that N. oculata is originally a Gulf Coast species and all specimens from outside the United States (U.S.) listed in Gordon (1972) belong to other species. However, Vandenberg (2002) assumed Nephaspis to be neotropical and the U.S. population only established in scattered localities. Peck (2009a) on the other hand seemed to follow Gordon (1997), considering N. oculata a Nearctic species and suggesting that neotropical records of N. oculata are probably N. equuleus Gordon, 1997. Gordon’s (1997) description was based on an different specimen than the one from F.D. Bennett which makes it unclear whether that particular specimen belongs here or is the species below.

Gordon’s (1997) statement that all specimens from non-U.S. localities of Nephaspis oculata listed in Gordon (1972) belong to other species and the fact that he did not list a specimen from St. Martin in his second revision make it unclear which Nephaspis species actually occurs on St. Martin. The St. Martin record of Duverger (2001) is based on literature, supposedly on Gordon’s (1972) paper.

This species is listed as Stethorus caribus in, among other papers, Duverger (2001), Valentine & Ivie (2005), Peck (2011, 2016) and Bos et al. (2018). However, after examination of the lectotype of S. albipes, Gordon (1993) synonymised S. caribus with S. albipes. The lectotype designation by Gordon (1987) also added St. Barthélemy to the range of this species. Stethorus albipes is thus present on Puerto Rico, Cuba, Hispaniola, Guana, St. Barthélemy, St. Eustatius, Nevis, Montserrat, Antigua, Barbados, Grenada, St. Lucia, Colombia and Latin America.

Cis creberrimus Mellié, 1849: 357
St. Eustatius
Cis cf. creberrimus: This study – Oranjestad Bay, EOC
Collected from a tree fungus together with Cis melliei and on the same tree as Palorus cerylonoides. It keyed out as C. creberrimus in Lawrence (1971). CO1 barcoding yielded a relatively low match of 88% with a Brazilian specimen of that species in GenBank (Benson et al. 2005). Lawrence (1971) already noted that C. creberrimus is probably a species complex. For the year of publication see Evenhuis (2016).
Cis melliei Coquerel, 1850: 441
St. Eustatius
Cis melliei: This study – Oranjestad Bay, EOC
Collected from a tree fungus together with Cis creberrimus and on the same tree as Palorus cerylonoides. For the year of publication see Evenhuis (2016).

Family COLYDIIDAE Billberg, 1820b: 394
Ivie et al. (2009) listed five, as yet unpublished, species of this family from Saba.
Family TENEBRIONIDAE Latreille, 1802: 165
Ivie et al. (2009) listed 12 species of this family from Saba. The present paper contains information on four species. Ivie and Hart (2016) and Hart and Ivie (2016) revised the species of the subfamily Opatrinae. The latter papers reduced the total number of species present on Saba with two. This means that at least six, as yet unpublished, other species are present on the island.

Without clarification, Marcuzzi (1984) listed only Rhypasma mariagratiae for Bonaire and placed a question mark for the occurrence of R. venezuelense on Bonaire. This could mean that he considered his earlier identifications erroneous. The genus Rhypasma was recently transferred from the subfamily Pimeliinae to Lagriinae by Nabozhenko et al. (2016).

[St. Martin]
Opatrinus clathratus: Peck 2011: 33 – without further data
Opatrinus clathratus: Peck 2016: 160 – without further data
New species record for St. Eustatius. Collected from under stones on a steep forested hill side. Except for some speculations in a report in The Agricultural News (Anonymous 1905 as Hopatrinus gemellatus), Peck (2011) was the first to list St. Martin for this species. Peck included Diastolinus clathratus Marcuzzi 1962: 27; 1977: 13; 1984: 77 and Marcuzzi & d’Aguilar 1971: 80 in the synonymy but these all belong to D. perforatus (see Hart & Ivie 2016). It is unclear whether Peck actually saw a specimen from St. Martin, or the island record is related to the historically very confusing use of the specific name clathratus in Opatrinae (Iwan 1995) and thus erroneous. Its occurrence on St. Martin seems not unlikely. Usually quoted as first described by Fabricius in 1792b: 90 but his 1787 publication contains (almost) the same description. Opatrinus clathratus is also mentioned for Anguilla in several reports in The Agricultural News (Anonymous 1904, 1905, 1910; all as H. gemellatus) and from St. Barthélemy by Questel (2018: 18).

Hypogena biimpressa (Latreille, 1813): 17
[Curaçao]
Ulosonia biimpressa: Marcuzzi 1977: 41 – CARMABI, Piscadera Baai, PWH
The year of publication of this species is often cited as 1833. However, the second volume of von Humboldt & Bonpland’s “Recueil d’observations de zoologie et d’anatomie comparée faites dans l’océan Atlantique”, in which Latreille’s descriptions were published, was issued in seven livraisons (8–14, in 1813–1832). Tenebrio biimpressus was published on page 17 of the eighth livraison, which was issued in 1813 (Mac Gillavry 1931, Bousquet 2016). Based on the erroneous citation, Grimm et al. (2018) synonymised Hypogena biimpressa with H. brasilica (Perty, 1830). However, because Latreille’s name was published 17 years earlier it should stand as the valid name of this species.
Grey & Smith (2020) recently revised Hypogena and designated a neotype for H. biimpressa. They did not list this species nor H. tricornis for Curaçao but described the new species below from, among others, specimens from the island. It is as yet unclear whether H. biimpressa is also part of the fauna of Curaçao.

Hypogena tricornis (Dalman, 1823): 59
[Curaçao]
Ulosonia tricornis: Marcuzzi 1954: 26 – no locality, PWH
There are no vouchers for Curaçao. Marcuzzi himself reported that the specimens collected by Wagenaar Hummelinck were lost. Spilman (1973) clarified some nomenclatural problems with the genera Hypogena and Ulosonia. Bousquet & Bouchard (2013) stated that Hypogena tricornis Palisot de Beauvois, 1834: 199 from North America is not the same as Phaleria tricornis Dalman, 1823 from Jamaica as was mentioned by Spilman. This would make H. tricornis Palisot de Beauvois, 1834 a nomen nudum.
Marcuzzi (1954) first referred his Curaçao specimens to the concept of Laporte (1840) who mentioned Palisot de Beauvois as the author but later listed them as Ulosonia tricornis (Dalman, 1823) in his catalogue of the West Indies (1984). Bousquet et al. (2018) considered the names of Laporte and Dalman different nomenclatural acts which are probably synonymous. Grey & Smith (2020) did list the paper by Bousquet et al. but did not comment on the issue. They did not list this species nor H. biimpressa for Curaçao but described the new species above from, among others, specimens from the island. It is unclear whether H. tricornis is also part of the fauna of Curaçao.

The ICZN (1957) ruled in Opinion 474 that the date of publication of the index, published with the second volume of Drury’s “Illustrations of natural history” in 1773, contains names formed in accordance with the principles of binominal nomenclature, and as such is the official date of publication of the species described in the first and second volume (Bousquet 2016). See further Santos-Silva et al. (2010) for the page number. Peck (2016) listed Nevis, probably based on Santos-Silva et al. (2010). It is certainly possible that this species is present there. However, Santos-Silva et al. (2010) referred to Gahan (1895) for their Nevis record but there is no record for that island there. Gahan (1895) only listed Guadeloupe, Barbuda and St. Kitts (as St. Christophers).

Anelaphus cinereus (Olivier, 1800a): 69
[Curaçao]
Anelaphus subtropicus: Gilmour 1968: 133 –, BJ
The presence of this species on Curaçao is questionable. According to Monné (2020a) Anelaphus cinereus is known elsewhere from Florida, Cuba, Hispaniola, Jamaica, Bahamas, Virgin Islands, Cayman Islands, Bermudas, and Puerto Rico. Ivie (1985) synonymised Anoplium subtropicus Casey, 1924: 245 with A. cinereus and referred several A. subtropicus nec Casey, 1924 auct. to A. nanus but did not investigate the single known specimen from Curaçao which is in DMAG. The occurrence of the latter species on Curaçao would be equally doubtful because this species would then have a similar disjunct range as A. cinereus. However, until the Doncaster specimen has been investigated the species cannot fully be excluded because there are at least two other longhorn beetle species with a similar range which are present on Curaçao. For the year of publication see Bousquet (2018).

Caribbomerus attenuatus: Chalumeau & Touroult 2005: 110 – Pic Paradis, no leg.
Based on the distinguishing characters listed in Lingafelter (2011), Touroult (2012) referred previous records of Caribbomerus attenuatus from the Lesser Antilles to C. similis (Fisher, 1932). According to him C. attenuatus is only present on Cuba, Puerto Rico, the Bahamas and possibly the Virgin Islands. Peck (2016) followed him but noted that Touroult only reinvestigated specimens from Guadeloupe and not from other Lesser Antillean islands. Touroult’s current opinion is that this issue is in need of further study based on more material and until then the species present on St. Martin should be considered C. attenuatus (Touroult in litt. 2020).

Touroult (2012, Annexe I), followed by Peck (2016), was the first to list Saba for this species. However, the entry is not in bold as are the other new island records in his table. Moreover, he did not list St. Kitts (the adjoining column in the table), an island record from Frigate Bay first mentioned by Chalumeau & Touroult (2005). The latter paper is listed in the references section by Touroult (2012). Julien Touroult kindly checked his collection and there is no voucher for Saba there (Touroult 2020 in litt). Although it is certainly possible that Methia necydalea is present on Saba, this particular record is probably a typographic error and, without availability of a voucher, we have here placed this record between brackets for now.

Chalumeau & Touroult (2005) listed Urgleptes guadeloupensis as the only Urgleptes species present on Curaçao and suspected the Bonaire and Curaçao records of U. cobbeni to be either erroneous or the result of a recent introduction. In light of the fact that U. cobbeni has been collected by several collectors from at least 1957 until 1983 the latter could be the right explanation. However, hitherto the first author has seen 13 specimens of U. cobbeni and no U. guadeloupensis from Curaçao. The latter species is only known from a single specimen of the ABC islands (see below).
Urgleptes guadeloupensis (Fleutiaux & Sallé, 1890): 472
Curaçao
Urgleptes guadeloupensis: Gilmour 1968: 166 – hofje Sint Kruis, HJMG
Cazier & Lacey (1952) is the only paper that includes Antigua in the range of this species but without reference to a specimen or a publication. Their listing might belong to one of the later described Urgleptes species. The reported range and validity of the various Urgleptes species in the Antilles seems to be unclear at the least. Chalumeau & Touroult (2005) not only suspect the Bonaire and Curaçao records of U. cobbeni to be either erroneous or the result of a recent introduction, they also suspect U. clarkei Chemsak, 1966 to be synonymous with U. sandersoni Gilmour, 1963b. Urgleptes clarkei was described by Chemsak based on specimens collected on the Virgin Islands and Antigua. Chemsak (1966) did not mention any of Gilmour’s papers in his description and did not seem to have compared his specimens with the species described by Gilmour (1963b, 1968). Gilmour (1968) questioned the presence of U. clarkei on Antigua and, in light of the disjunct distribution and the fact that Peck (2016) recently added Antigua to the range of U. cobbeni, might prove to be right. A revision of Antillean Urgleptes would be highly desirable.

Chelymorpha cribraria: Yokoyama 2013: 82 – without further data
All records are listed as Chelymorpha cribraria. However, Sekerka & Barclay (2014) revised the Fabrician Cassidinae types present in the Natural History Museum, London. They found that the two types of Cassida cribraria Fabricius, 1775: 90 do agree with the original description but are conspecific with Ch. cassidea (Fabricius, 1775): 82 and not with Ch. cribraria as defined and used since Boheman (1854). As a result Ch. cribraria auct. loses its name and must be replaced by the next available name Chelymorpha multipunctata (Olivier, 1791b).
For the year of publication see Bousquet (2016). Olivier (1791b) in his “Encyclopédie méthodique” described Cassida multipunctata from specimens donated by de Badier from “Guadeloupe”. Later, when treating this species in his “Entomologie” he only mentioned “Guyane française” as its patria (Olivier 1808a: 957). It is not clear whether the latter is a correction of the terra typica or if Olivier (1808a) forgot to mention Guadeloupe. Barthélemy de Badier (1740?–1789) lived for several years in Guadeloupe but also received specimens from other French territories in the Caribbean and South America (Cupello 2018). As Olivier (1808a) referred to the original description and both descriptions closely match, he intended to treat the same species, not a different one erroneously under the same name. The latter could be concluded from some sources giving 1808 as the year of publication of this species. According to Staines & Whittington (2003), who indeed use the year 1808, two syntypes are in the Royal Museum of Scotland.

Probably based on a photo, Yokoyama (2010) provisionally listed this species for St. Martin. Altica occidentalis is known elsewhere in the Caribbean area from Antigua, Barbados, the Cayman Islands, Cuba, Dominica, Grenada, Guadeloupe, Guana, Hispaniola, Jamaica, Martinique, Puerto Rico, St. Croix, St. Lucia, St. Vincent, Vieques and the Virgin Islands (Peck 2016). Clark et al. (2013) suspect that specimens from the southern islands belong to a different species.

Cylas formicarius: Bonfils & Bart 1967: 28 – without further data
Introduced. Not mentioned for any of the islands listed above by Peck (2011, 2016). It is not clear if Ballou’s St. Eustatius record is based on a voucher. The same applies to the records of van Buurt & Debrot who reported that the species was introduced in Curaçao in circa 1990. Sherman & Tamashiro (1954) reported it from that island as early as 1954. St. Eustatius is also listed by Denon & Mauléon (2004: 14) and Hagstrum & Subramanyam (2009: 70). Recorded for Anguilla (Ballou 1934: 212, Denon & Mauléon 2004: 14) and Antigua (Hagstrum & Subramanyam 2009: 70), but all without reference to vouchers.
Subfamily APIONINAE Schönherr, 1823: column 1136
Apion pilosum Gyllenhal, 1833: 258
St. Eustatius
Apion pilosum Gyllenhal, 1833: 258 – no locality, JEF
Not listed by Blackwelder (1947), Kissinger (1974) or Peck (2011, 2016). As far as we are aware the name is only mentioned in Gemminger & von Harold (1871), Wagner (1910, 1913), in Sherborne’s Index Animalium (1929) and in the supplement to the “Annotated checklist of the weevils (Curculionidae sensu lato) of North America, Central America, and the West Indies” (O’Brien & Wibmer 1984). The current whereabouts of the type of Apion pilosum is unknown. The type was collected by Forsström and was part of the Billberg collection (Gyllenhal 1833). Billberg was a Swedish entomologist whose first collection was almost completely destroyed in a fire in 1822. Only some of the types in that collection were saved. These types are currently housed in the Schönherr collection in NHRS (Löwegren 1952). Billberg started a new collection and bought Forsström’s insects from the Antilles. This collection was later deposited at BMNH via J.G. Children (Horn & Kahle 1935, Bousquet 2016). Smith (1986) also listed material from the Billberg collection as being present in HEC.
Family CURCULIONIDAE Latreille, 1802: 195
Ivie et al. (2009) listed 70 species of this family (including Scolytinae and Platypodinae) from Saba. Just four species of Curculionidae of which two only to genus level have been identified from the island. One other species of Curculionidae has been photographed.

Rhynchophorus ferrugineus: Fiaboe et al. 2011: 768 – without further data
Introduced. In December 2008 Rhynchophorus ferrugineus was found on Curaçao for the first time for the Caribbean region (EPPO 2009). Its arrival on Curaçao is suspected to be the result of the importation of infected Phoenix palms from Egypt. Shipments of palm from Curaçao to Aruba, and lack of phytosanitary measures, have resulted in the establishment of the species on Aruba (Roda et al. 2011).
Scyphophorus acupunctatus Gyllenhal, 1838: 857
[Curaçao]
Scyphophorus acupunctatus: Ballou 1920: 10 – without further data
Reported by Ballou (1920) as attacking agave in Curaçao but there are no further reports about its existence on the island. Van Buurt & Debrot (2012) presented a list of exotic agricultural pests which are currently present in the Dutch Caribbean. Scyphophorus acupunctatus is not on that list although it is included in the alert list in this report.

St. Eustatius
Sitophilus oryzae: This study – Oranjestad, EOC
[St. Martin]
Sitophilus oryzae: Yokoyama 2013: 83 – without further data
New species record for St. Eustatius. Collected from the kitchen and the garden of the Caribbean Netherlands Science Institute. Also listed and photographed by Yokoyama (2013) and shown as present with reference to Yokoyama on the website of the INPN (2020) for St. Martin. It is not clear if vouchers are available.
Without a voucher and investigation of the aedeagus it is hardly possible to separate this species from Sitophilus zeamais Motschulsky, 1855: 77 (Kuschel 1961). Sitophilus zeamais is not yet known from the Antilles but, as Peck (2016) also noted, being a cosmopolitan stored products pest it could also be present in the Lesser Antilles. Listed for Antigua by Roelofs (1875: xxv). This record was included in Leng & Mutchler (1914: 478) and Blackwelder (1947: 916) but is not in Peck (2011, 2016). For the page number and correct reference see Marshall (1983).
Subfamily CURCULIONINAE Latreille, 1802: 195
Anthonomus macromalus Gyllenhal, 1835a: 352
St. Eustatius
Anthonomus cf. macromalus: This study – Botanical Garden, KB
The Caribbean Anthonomus are badly in need of a modern revision. Although W.E. Clark and H.R. Burke wrote more than 30 papers in which they revised several species groups in this speciose genus, there is no key to these groups and a number of Caribbean species have never been investigated. Based on the keys in Hustache (1929) and Rheinheimer (2014) and the original descriptions of Anthonomus aestuans Fabricius, 1792a, A. infirmus Gyllenhal, 1835b and A. macromalus Gyllenhal, 1835a the Eustatius specimen is provisionally assigned to the latter. New provisional record for St. Eustatius. For the year of publication see Bousquet (2016).

Lachnopus valgus (Fabricius, 1775): 150
St. Martin
Lachnopus valgus: Girón et al. 2018: 76 – Pic Paradis, no leg.; Old Fort Hill, no leg.
This species was not in Peck (2011, 2016). It is reported for Anguilla by Ballou (1916: 75) and for St. Barthélemy by Gyllenhal (1834: 41). Both records were recently confirmed by Girón et al. (2018: 76) who also listed St. Martin. Elsewhere present on Puerto Rico, St. John and St. Croix (Girón et al. 2018).
Lachnopus villosipes (Boheman, 1834): 43
St. Eustatius
Lachnopus villosipes (Boheman, 1834): 43 – no locality, JEF
Not listed by Peck (2011, 2016) although the description of this species is based on specimens from St. Eustatius and St. Barthélemy. The types are in the NHRS (NHRS 2001).
Lachnopus Schönherr, 1840: 380
St. Eustatius
Lachnopus species: This study – The Quill, AJW; White Wall, AJW
Girón et al. (2018) recently published an annotated checklist of this genus. They could not resolve the so-called ‘curvipes conflict’, i.e. the fact that the variation in characters of Lachnopus curvipes (Fabricius, 1787b: 113), including the male genitalia, can overlap with those of L. valgus. According to Girón et al. (2018) L. villosipes may also be included in this conflict and a full revision would likely split the genus and synonymise several of the known taxa. As such, two St. Eustatius specimens are listed provisionally here as Lachnopus species.

Bright (2019) also added Antigua and St. Kitts to the range as published by Peck (2016), and Blandford (1898: 216) added Nevis to the range as published by Peck (2016) and Bright (2019). Blandford’s record was also quoted by Leng & Mutchler (1914: 480), Blackwelder (1947: 779) and Maes & Martinez (1988: 8).

Xyleborus volvulus: Bright 2019: 302 – Christoffel Park, Copper Mine Trail, RHT; Christoffel N.P., Orchard Trail, MCT
Saba
Xyleborus volvulus: Bright 2019: 302 – Windwardside, RMB & HBV; Scout’s Place Hotel, DSS
Leng & Mutchler (1917: 220), followed by Blackwelder (1947: 780), listed Xyleborus perforans (Wollaston, 1857: 96) for St. Kitts, as well as Barbados, St. Vincent and Jamaica. Wood (1979) noted that X. perforans is very similar to, and doubtfully distinct from, X. volvulus and hesitated whether to add X. perforans to the American list or to place it in the synonymy. Peck (2016) wrote that except for a probable misidentification from Barbados, X. perforans is unreported from the New World. Gohli et al. (2016) recently concluded that both are good species which are both present in the New World. However, due to their rather limited dataset at least the evidence on which they based the latter conclusion is not very convincing. As such, it seems best to follow Wood (1979) and Peck (2016) for now and refer American records of X. perforans to X. volvulus until more solid evidence emerges. This also means that St. Kitts should be added to the range as published by Peck (2016). Bright (2019) added Antigua but did not list St. Kitts. He stated that X. perforans and X. volvulus are almost certainly synonymous.
Xylosandrus compactus (Eichhoff, 1876): 201
Saba
Xylosandrus compactus: Bright 2019: 306 – Crispeen Track nr. Ecolodge, DEB & BAB; Mt. Scenery Trail at Mountain road, DEB & BAB
Eichhoff described Xyleborus compactus in the third fascicule of volume 18 of the “Annales de la Société Entomologique de Belgique” which was published in 1876.
Family Incertae Sedis
Cryptophagus forsstromii Gyllenhal, 1808a: 100
St. Eustatius
Cryptophagus Forsströmii Gyllenhal, 1808a: 100 – no locality, JEF
Cryptophagus Forstromi (sic!): Billberg 1820a: 11 – without further data
According to article 32.5.2.1 of the Code (ICZN 1999) a diacritic or other mark in a name should be deleted, except that in a name published before 1985 and based upon a German word, the umlaut sign is deleted from a vowel and the letter “e” is to be inserted after that vowel. Forsström was a Swedish national so Gyllenhal’s name should in this case be corrected to forsstromii. The current taxonomic status of this taxon is unclear. Gyllenhal did not only describe members of the family Cryptophagidae in this genus. The name has later only been used in Billberg’s catalogue (1820a). Billberg’s first collection was burned in 1822 and he subsequently bought the collection of Forsström which was particularly strong with insects from the Antilles. This collection was later deposited at the Natural History Museum in London (Horn & Kahle 1935, Bousquet 2016). However, Smith (1986) also listed material from the Billberg collection as being present in HEC while the type(s) of Cryptophagus forsstromii are also mentioned as being part of the collections of both the UUZM (Wallin 2001, Telenius & Shah 2016) as well as the NHRS (NHRS 2001). This species is not listed by Peck (2011, 2016). Endemic to St. Eustatius?
Dermestes eustatius Linnaeus, 1758: 357
St. Eustatius
Dermestes eustatius Linnaeus, 1758: 357 – no locality, DR
Not listed by Peck (2011, 2016). The type is in Charles de Geer’s collection in NHRS (Dobreff 2010). De Geer (1775) transferred this taxon to his new genus Ips (Scolytinae). Háva (2015) listed it as a Scolytinae but it is unclear if he saw the type(s). Bright (2019) did not mention this taxon. Linnaeus described the species from specimens collected from fungi on St. Eustatius while De Geer (1775) writes that he found a very large number of this species in a mushroom which Rolander sent him from Surinam. It might prove to be a member of the family Ciidae of which several species have been first described in the genus Dermestes. Endemic to St. Eustatius?
Erroneous records for the Dutch Antilles
Family DYTISCIDAE Leach, 1815: 84
Subfamily HYDROPORINAE Aubé, 1836: 14
Neobidessus surinamensis ( Régimbart, 1889): 390
Young (1981: 331) erroneously “corrected” Régimbart’s (1889) type locality “Guyane: Surinam” by stating that the types are from “Boven (Island of Bonaire near Curacao)” thereby referring to Régimbart’s label marked “Neerol vd. Poll, Boven Suriname”. However, Boven Suriname is Dutch for Upper Suriname, the land area along the Upper Suriname River, which stretches inland from the southern shore of Brokopondo, Surinam. Régimbart’s type locality was correct and it is unclear why Young changed it. Nilsson (2001) correctly listed the type locality as “Surinam” but later, without any explanation added “[Bonaire island nr Curacao]” to the locality in his on-line catalogue (Nilsson & Hájek 2018). Neobidessus surinamensis is not part of the Antillean fauna.
Family SCARABAEIDAE Latreille, 1802: 144
Subfamily SCARABAEINAE Latreille, 1802: 144
Coprophanaeus jasius Olivier, 1789a: 109
Olivier (1789a) described Scarabaeus jasius based on specimens from Cayenne and Curaçao (see also Gemminger & von Harold 1869 and Gillet 1911). Arnaud (2002a) considered the types lost and designated a neotype from Cayenne. Arnaud (2002b) nor Edmonds & Zidek (2010) mentioned a Coprophanaeus specimen from Curaçao. According to Hielkema & Hielkema (2019) the inclusion of Curaçao in the distribution of this species is likely based on a mislabeled or misidentified specimen.
Subfamily DYNASTINAE MacLeay, 1819: 64
Tomarus ebenus (De Geer, 1774): 317
A record for St. Martin is based on Bates (1888: 318) who mentioned a specimen from St. Martin in his collection (now in BMNH). Tomarus ebenus is listed for the island by Leng & Mutchler (1914), Blackwelder (1944a), Paulian (1947), Cartwright & Chalumeau (1978) and Peck (2011, 2016) but not by Chalumeau & Gruner (1977), Endrödi (1969, 1985), Ratcliffe (2003), Ratcliffe & Cave (2006, 2015) nor López-García et al. (2016). Unfortunately, none of these authors comment on Bates’ record while his work is listed in the literature sections of all these publications. In the Antilles T. ebenus is known from the southern islands Guadeloupe, Dominica, Martinique and St. Lucia while T. cuniculus is present throughout the Antilles (Ratcliffe & Cave 2015). Bates’ record is probably identified erroneously or based on a mislabeled specimen.
Family COCCINELLIDAE Latreille, 1807: 70
Subfamily COCCINELLINAE Latreille, 1807: 70
Mulsantina labyrinthica (Sicard, 1929): 517/
Procula ferruginea (Olivier, 1808b ): 991
Both species were listed by Duverger (2001) for St. Martin but Nicolas (2012) questioned these records. Both are Greater Antillean species.
Family TENEBRIONIDAE Latreille, 1802: 165
Subfamily OPATRINAE Brullé, 1832: 213
Blapstinus fortis LeConte, 1878: 420
Ivie & Hart (2016: 463) suspected a single specimen from St. Martin in the Hungarian Natural History Museum (N of Cupecoy Bay, PWH) to be mislabeled. According to them the range of Blapstinus fortis is restricted to Central America, Grand Bahama, Andros, New Providence, Cuba, Isla de Juventud and Grand Cayman.
Diastolinus clathratus (Fabricius, 1792b): 109
Listed for St. Martin by several authors but this species is endemic to St. Croix (Hart & Ivie 2016).
Diastolinus clavatus Mulsant & Rey, 1859: 91
Listed for St. Martin, St. Barthélemy and Nevis by several authors but this species is a Puerto Rican Bank endemic (Hart & Ivie 2016).
Diastolinus mulsanti Marcuzzi & d’Aguilar, 1971: 79
This taxon was synonymised with Diastolinus clavatus by Hart & Ivie (2016). However, previous records of D. mulsanti from St. Martin (Marcuzzi 2001: 251, Soldati & Touroult 2014: 99) belong to D. perforatus (Hart & Ivie 2016).
Diastolinus puncticollis Mulsant & Rey, 1859: 83
This taxon was synonymised with Xerolinus sallei by Ivie & Hart (2016). However, all previous records of Diastolinus puncticollis listed for Saba and St. Eustatius belong to D. leewardensis.
Diastolinus realinoi Marcuzzi, 2002: 398
Marcuzzi wrote that the single specimen on which his description was based (Curaçao, BMR) had possibly been transported by ship from Cuba to Curaçao. Ivie & Hart (2016) could not investigate the type for their revision of Diastolinus. Their request to RMNH did not seem to have reached the right person. However, even if it had the result would have been the same. In 1995 Marcuzzi loaned 298 specimens of unidentified Tenebrionidae from the Zoological Museum Amsterdam (now part of RMNH) which were never returned. The type of Diastolinus realinoi was among these. The current whereabouts of the specimens are unclear (Huijbregts pers. comm. 2017). Marcuzzi’s collection is now in Museo Civico di Storia Naturale “Giacomo Doria”, Genova (Ivie in litt. 2020) and the type might be available there.
Xerolinus sallei (Mulsant & Rey, 1859): 80
All previous records from Saba and St. Eustatius (as Diastolinus sallei) belong to D. leewardensis (Hart & Ivie 2016).
Subfamily TENEBRIONINAE Latreille, 1802: 165
“Helops martinensis” Marcuzzi, 2001: 252 (nomen nudum)
Description based on a single specimen in the collection Soldati and the only known specimen of this genus from the Antilles. Marcuzzi, notorious for his carelessness (see also Ivie & Hart 2016 and above under Diastolinus realinoi), erroneously listed two different collection dates and initials for the leg. in his description: Oyster Pond, 10-vii-1994, C. Donneuve and 10-i-1994, P. Donneuve. Soldati & Touroult 2014: 103 seem to correct this, presumably based on the label, to 10-i-1994 and P. Donneuve. Marcuzzi (2001) failed to indicate where the syntypes were deposited, a mandatory requirement for every new species name published after 1999 (ICZN 1999: Article 16.4.2). As such, the name is a nomen nudum (see also Bousquet et al. 2018). It is striking that Marcuzzi (2001) specifically mentioned the fact that “this is the first discovery of a Helops in the Antilles, since the presence of a Helops at Puerto Rico (Wolcott 1936) is doubtful”…“it was never collected again and never identified” (see also Wolcott 1951). The same now seems to apply to his description.
Family CURCULIONIDAE Latreille, 1802: 195
Subfamily SCOLYTINAE Latreille, 1804: 156
Xylosandrus compactus (Eichhoff, 1876): 201
This invasive species is listed for Curaçao in several publications, which all refer to the on-line CABI Invasive Species Compendium (CABI 2020). However, this database refers to Vázquez & Monteagudo (1988) as its source but that paper describes the first discovery of Xylosandrus compactus on Cuba (see also Bright & Skidmore 2002). We assume that there has been an entry error using a drop-down list in the database: Curaçao instead of Cuba.
Annotations to Peck’s checklists for the other northern Leeward Islands
While working on the catalogue, Peck’s (2011, 2016) data for the non-Dutch northern Leeward Islands Anguilla, Antigua, Barbuda, Montserrat, Nevis, St. Barthélemy and St. Kitts were also critically reviewed. Additions or corrections to the listings for these islands of species that are also present on the Dutch Antilles were dealt with above. Additions or corrections to the records of species which are not part of the Dutch Antillean fauna are listed in this paragraph.
Family CARABIDAE Latreille, 1802: 80
Subfamily HARPALINAE Bonelli, 1810: Tabula synoptica
Selenophorus parvus Darlington, 1934: 105
Shpeley et al. (2017: 154) added Barbuda to the range as published by Peck (2016).
Family DYTISCIDAE Leach, 1815: 84
Subfamily COPELATINAE Branden, 1885: 82
Copelatus posticatus (Fabricius, 1801b): 268
Bass (2006: 33) listed this species (as Copelatus postcatus sic!) for St. Kitts and Nevis. Although Peck (2011, 2016) referred to Bass’ paper neither of the two islands was in his list.
Subfamily COLYMBETINAE Erichson, 1837: 149
Meridiorhantus calidus (Fabricius, 1792b): 193
Peck (2011, 2016) listed St. Kitts and Nevis but without the asterisk indicating a new island record in his paper. We have not been able to find an earlier publication mentioning these islands. It might have been mixed up with the species mentioned above. The generic classification here follows Balke et al. (2017).
Subfamily DYTISCINAE Leach, 1815: 84
Megadytes lherminieri (Guérin, 1829): pl. 8
This species is listed in Peck (2011, 2016) as Megadytes giganteus (Laporte, 1835): 99 which is a junior synonym. Megadytes lherminieri is usually attributed to Laporte (1835: 99) but the description was first published by Guérin on plate 8 in his “Iconographie du règne animal de G. Cuvier”. For the date of publication and use of the name “Guérin” instead of “Guérin-Méneville” see Cowan (1971), Low et al. (2013) and Bousquet (2016).
Family HYDROPHILIDAE Latreille, 1802: 136
Subfamily HYDROPHILINAE Latreille, 1802: 136
Hydrophilus ensifer Brullé 1837: 52
A record for Antigua on GBIF based on a specimen in FMNH identified by Spangler (Grant & Turcatel 2020) is an addition to the range as published by Peck (2016). Also listed for St. Croix by Miskimen & Bond (1970, as Hydrophilus intermedius), an island not mentioned by Peck (2016).
Tropisternus apicipalpis (Chevrolat, 1835) (no pagination, [species no. 54])
Spangler (1960: 229) listed Antigua, an island not mentioned by Peck (2011, 2016). For the year of publication of this species see Bousquet (2016).
Tropisternus chalybeus Laporte, 1840: 53
Antigua and Nevis are not in Peck (2016) but are listed by d’Orchymont (1921: 364) and Spangler (1960: 235), respectively.
Family HISTERIDAE Gyllenhal, 1808d: 74
Subfamily ABRAEINAE MacLeay, 1819: 25
Acritus analis LeConte, 1853b: 290
A record in GBIF from St. Kitts in FMNH identified by Rupert L. Wenzel (Grant & Turcatel 2020) is an addition to the range as published by Peck (2016). Known elsewhere in the Antilles from Cuba and Puerto Rico (Peck 2005: 52). Peck (2016) mentioned several unnamed specimens in this genus from Antigua, Barbados, Grenada, Nevis and St. Vincent.
Acritus ignobilis (Lewis, 1888): 238
Two records in GBIF from St. Kitts and Antigua in FMNH identified by Rupert L. Wenzel (Grant & Turcatel 2020) are additions to the range as published by Peck (2016). A widespread species which is also present on Cuba, Puerto Rico (Peck 2005: 52) and Guadeloupe (Grant & Turcatel 2020) in the Antilles and elsewhere in Florida, Panama, Colombia (Peck 2005), Venezuela, Bolivia and Brazil (among others Grant & Turcatel 2020).
Subfamily DENDROPHILINAE Reitter, 1909: 288
Paromalus hispaniolae Marseul 1870 : 101
Several specimens from Antigua identified by Wenzel on GBIF (Grant & Turcatel 2020) which are probably the specimens listed by Peck (2016: 53) as undetermined Paromalus.
Subfamily HISTERINAE Gyllenhal, 1808d: 74
Atholus confinis (Erichson, 1834): 154
A record in GBIF of a specimen in FMNH from St. Kitts identified by Rupert L. Wenzel (Grant & Turcatel 2020) is an addition to the range as published by Peck (2016).
Omalodes laevigatus ( Quensel, 1806 ): 90
The type locality of this species is St. Barthélemy, an island that was not listed by Peck (2011, 2016). There also exists a record of Omalodes sp. aff. laevigatus from St. Kitts (Alam 1990: 171).
Family STAPHYLINIDAE Latreille, 1802: 124
Subfamily PIESTINAE Erichson, 1839: 31
Piestus penicillatus (Dalman, 1821): 375
The record of this species for St. Barthélemy (Peck 2011, 2016) is based on an error in Erichson (1840: 834) repeated by almost all subsequent authors. Erichson referred to the original description by Dalman (1821) for the St. Barthélemy record but Dalman described Piestus penicillatus based on material collected on Guadeloupe by Forsström. Blackwelder (1943) noted the error but later failed to correct it in his checklist (Blackwelder 1944a). Blackwelder (1943) also wrote that there had been much confusion concerning this species and that records from Mexico and Brazil were questionable. According to him the only unquestioned records were those from the Antilles. Scheerpeltz (1952) later included Mexico and Brazil in the range again and, without any clarification, added the Guyanas. Navarrete-Heredia et al. (2002) considered P. penicillatus an Antillean species, as did Caron et al. (2012) in their revision of the genus. Piestus penicillatus is probably a widespread Antilles endemic present on Cuba, Grenada, Guadeloupe, Hispaniola, Jamaica, Puerto Rico, St. Lucia, Tobago and Trinidad (Blackwelder 1943) but not in the northern Leeward Islands.
Family SCARABAEIDAE Latreille, 1802: 144

Ataenius beattyi Chapin, 1940a: 17
Chalumeau (1977: 235) recorded this species from St. Barthélemy, an island not listed by Peck (2011, 2016).
Ataenius picinus Harold, 1867b: 281
An additional record to Peck (2016) for St. Kitts on GBIF from UWIC (Rutherford & Auguste 2018a).
Subfamily DYNASTINAE MacLeay, 1819: 64
Cyclocephala melanocephala (Fabricius, 1775): 36
Endrödi (1966: 258) was the only one who listed St. Barthélemy for this species. His records are probably erroneous or based on mislabeled specimens.
Cyclocephala tridentata (Fabricius, 1801a): 170
Ratcliffe & Cave (2015) synonymised Cyclocephala tridentatus dominicensis Cartwright & Chalumeau, 1978: 25 and C. annamariae Dutrillaux et al. 2013: 64 with this species which makes it a Lesser Antilles endemic. They also added Montserrat to the range as published by Peck (2016).
Dyscinetus picipes (Burmeister, 1847): 79
Barbuda is a new Lesser Antillean island record added by Ratcliffe & Cave (2015: 133).
Subfamily CETONIINAE Leach, 1815: 99
Cetonia carthami Gory & Percheron, 1835: 243
Listed as introduced on St. Barthélemy by Questel (2018: 18). It is not clear if vouchers are available.
Protaetia fusca (Herbst, 1790): 257
Peck (2016) listed this species for St. Barthélemy without reference to a publication. It is possibly based on Questel & Le Quellec (2012) or Questel (2014: 22). It is not clear if vouchers are available (see also Meurgey, 2017).
Family ELATERIDAE Leach, 1815: 85
Subfamily DENTICOLLINAE Stein & Weise, 1877: 96
Hemicrepidius hemipodus (Say, 1826): 254
This is an east North-American and not an Antillean species. It was listed as common on Antigua by Marshall (1878: xxx, as Asaphes decoloratus). His account was the reason why Leng & Mutchler (1917: 205), followed by Blackwelder (1944b: 293), include Antigua in the range of this species. Peck (2011, 2016) omitted these records in his checklists but without comment. Nolan (1913) provided exact dates of publication for the “Journal of the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia” between 1817 and 1845. Say’s description was published in November 1826.
Subfamily ELATERINAE Leach, 1815: 85
Glyphonyx quadraticollis Champion, 1896b: 536
Leng & Mutchler (1914: 428) were the first to list Glyphonyx quadraticollis as part of the Antiguan fauna. Their record is probably based on Champion (1896b) in the Biologia Centrali-Americana which they mentioned as one of their sources. However, Champion clearly listed the place name “Antigua” as part of a series of locations in Guatemala and not as the Caribbean island. This error was repeated by Blackwelder 1944b: 296, Peck 2011: 26 and Peck 2016: 106 and is also made for several other species on GBIF. Glyphonyx quadraticollis is not part of the Antillean fauna.
Family CANTHARIDAE Imhoff, 1856: 69
Subfamily CANTHARINAE Imhoff, 1856: 69
Tylocerus crassicornis ( Dalman, 1823): 57
See Ivie & Geiser (2014) for the confusion over this species’ geographic provenance which, without any proof, included St. Barthélemy according to some authors. Constantin et al. (2017) recently discovered a specimen from Martinique, the only record of certain provenance. Tylocerus crassicornis is not part of the fauna of the northern Leeward Islands.
Family ANOBIIDAE Fleming, 1821: 50
Subfamily PTININAE Latreille, 1802: 112
Oviedinus dufaui (Pic, 1906): 21 and Oviedinus strangulatus (Fall, 1905): 120
Both species were included in the genus Ptinus by Peck (2016). Bellés (2010) described the genus Oviedinus for the “Ptinus semiobscurus group” as defined by Bellés (1986), which includes these two species.
Family CLERIDAE Latreille, 1802: 110
Subfamily ENOPLIINAE Gistel, 1848a: [6]
Pelonium fuscum Opitz, 2018: 464
First mentioned as Pelonium sp. nov. by Ivie et al. (2008b) from Montserrat and listed as such by Peck (2016). Also present on Guadeloupe (Opitz 2018).
Family COCCINELLIDAE Latreille, 1807: 70
Subfamily STICHOLOTIDINAE Weise, 1901: 430
Delphastus nebulosus Chapin, 1940b: 264
Listed for Nevis by Kairo et al. (2001: 48N), an island not listed by Peck (2011, 2016). It is not clear if vouchers are available.
Subfamily SCYMNINAE Mulsant, 1846: 189
Cryptognatha nodiceps Marshall, 1912: 321
Introduced as early as 1937 on Antigua (Cock 1985: 17). Later, in 1970, repeatedly introduced to control the coconut scale Aspidiotus destructor Signoret, 1869 (Hemiptera) on St. Kitts and Nevis with reported establishment on both islands (Cock 1985: 20, van Lenteren & Bueno 2020: 407). None of these islands are listed by Peck (2011, 2016). It is not clear if vouchers are available.
Decadiomus austrinus (Gordon, 1976): 341
Listed as Diomus austrinus by Peck (2016) but recently transferred to Decadiomus (Vandenberg & Hanson 2019).
Diomus thoracicus ( Fabricius, 1801a): 378
Included as native on St. Kitts in Cock (1985: 55), an island not mentioned by Peck (2016). It is not clear if vouchers are available.
Hyperaspis jucunda Mulsant, 1850: 608
Introduced in 1971 from Trinidad and Tobago to St. Kitts (van Lenteren & Bueno 2020: 407). It is not clear if the species has established itself and if vouchers are available.
Hyperaspis trilineata Mulsant, 1850: 667
Mentioned as having been introduced in 1958 on St. Kitts. In 1966 recoveries were made and in 1967 it was widespread but not island-wide (Cock 1985: 55, van Lenteren & Bueno 2020: 411). Its current status is unknown and it is unclear if vouchers are available.
Rhyzobius fagus (Broun, 1880): 648 / Rhyzobius pulchellus (Montrouzier, 1861): 306
Probably only one of these Australian species, presumably Rhyzobius fagus, was introduced to control coconut scale. Cock (1985) listed “R. satelles (as R. pulchellus)” (= R. fagus) in table 3 on page 16 as being introduced to St. Kitts (in 1970–1973), Montserrat (1970) and St. Lucia (1971) but in the text on page 19 and 20 he only listed R. pulchellus, as being introduced to respectively Montserrat (1971) and St. Lucia (1971). It is not clear if it has established itself and if vouchers are available. Peck (2011, 2016) did not list a Rhyzobius species for the Lesser Antilles.
Rhyzobius lophanthae (Blaisdell, 1892): 51
Another Australian species, which was introduced in 1973 to control coconut scale on St. Kitts (Cock 1985: 16). It is not clear if the species has established itself and if vouchers are available. Not listed by Peck (2011, 2016).
Scymnus coccivora Ramakrishna Aiyar, 1925: 491
Peck (2016) only listed St. Kitts. According to Sagarra & Peterkin (1999) it was also introduced on Montserrat. It is not clear if the species has established itself and if vouchers are available. Ivie et al. (2008b) mentioned a Scymnus (Pullus) sp. from Montserrat which might be this species.
Subfamily COCCINELLINAE Latreille, 1807: 70
Coelophora inaequalis ( Fabricius, 1775 ): 80
A record from Anguilla on iNaturalist (Roy 2020) is an addition to Peck (2016). Introduced.
Family CIIDAE Leach, 1819b: 206
Subfamily CIINAE Leach, 1819b: 206
Ceracis furcifer Mellié, 1849: 379
Pecci-Maddalena & Lopes-Andrade (2017: 19) recently added Antigua to the range of this species as published by Peck (2016). For the date of publication see Evenhuis (2016).
Family COLYDIIDAE Billberg, 1820b: 394
Endeitoma granulata (Say, 1826): 266
Listed as Asynchita granulata (Say, 1826) by Peck (2016) but see Ivie et al. (2016). The year of publication of this species is often quoted as 1827, probably because this is the date on the cover. However, Nolan (1913) provides exact dates of publication for the “Journal of the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia” between 1817 and 1845. Say’s description was published in November 1826.
Family TENEBRIONIDAE Latreille, 1802: 165
Subfamily PIMELLINAE Latreille, 1802: 166
Ortheolus antillarum (Champion, 1896a): 5
A record for St. Barthélemy by Questel (2018: 18) is an addition to the range as published by Peck (2016). It is not clear if vouchers are available. The reference to page number 4 of Champion (1896a) in Peck (2016) is probably a typo.
Subfamily OPATRINAE Brullé, 1832: 213
Blapstinus dominicus Marcuzzi, 1962: 34
Added to the northern Lesser Antillean fauna by Ivie & Hart (2016: 463) based on its occurrence on Anguilla.
Diastolinus coarctatus (Mulsant & Rey, 1859): 106
Listings of this species (as Sellio coarctatus) for St. Kitts belong to Diastolinus leewardensis (Hart & Ivie 2016).
Diastolinus costipennis Mulsant & Rey, 1859: 85
This taxon was synonymised with Xerolinus sallei by Ivie & Hart (2016). However, all previous records from St. Kitts belong to Diastolinus leewardensis (Hart & Ivie 2016).
Diastolinus puncticollis Mulsant & Rey, 1859: 83
This taxon was synonymised with Xerolinus sallei by Ivie & Hart (2016). Except for the records for Anguilla, all previous records listed for the northern Lesser Antilles belong to Diastolinus leewardensis. The Anguillan records are D. perforatus (Hart & Ivie 2016).
Xerolinus sallei (Mulsant & Rey, 1859): 80
Except for the records for Anguilla, all previous records listed for the northern Lesser Antilles (as Diastolinus sallei) belong to D. leewardensis. The Anguillan records are D. perforatus (Hart & Ivie 2016).
Subfamily COELOMETOPINAE Lacordaire, 1859: 358
Cyrtosoma lherminieri (Guérin-Méneville, 1844): 123
Ivie et al. (2008b) attributed the Montserrat records listed in Leng & Mutchler (1917) to an undescribed species but that was later corrected in Spiessberger & Ivie (2018) who referred two female 19th-century specimens collected by H.G. Hubbard on the island to this species. Both specimens are now in USNM.
Family OEDEMERIDAE Latreille, 1810: 216
Subfamily OEDEMERINAE Latreille, 1810: 216
Oxycopis vittata (Fabricius, 1775): 125
Listed for St. Barthélemy by Questel (2018: 17). It is not clear if vouchers are available.
Family CERAMBYCIDAE Latreille, 1802: 211
Subfamily CERAMBYCINAE Latreille, 1802: 211
Chlorida festiva (Linnaeus, 1758): 389
Touroult (2012, Annexe I), followed by Peck (2016), was the first to list St. Kitts for this species. However, the entry is not in bold as are the other new island records in his table and he does not mention Antigua where this species is present. Julien Touroult kindly checked his collection and there is no voucher for Saba there (Touroult 2020 in litt). Although it is certainly possible that Chlorida festiva is present on St. Kitts, this particular record is probably a typographic error.
Elaphidion antiguensis Vlasak, 2019: 442
Recently described based on specimens from Antigua.
Stizocera vanzwaluwenburgi Fisher, 1932: 46
A record from Anguilla on iNaturalist (Bourque 2019) is an addition to the range of this species as published by Peck (2016).
Family BRUCHIDAE Latreille, 1802: 192
Subfamily BRUCHINAE Latreille, 1802: 192
Callosobruchus chinensis (Linnaeus, 1758): 386
Fennah (1947: 110) listed Antigua, an island not listed in Peck (2011, 2016). It is not clear if vouchers are available.
Stator monachus ( Sharp, 1885 ): 471
Romero & Johnson (2004: 628) mentioned “St. Kitts and Nevis”, both islands that are not listed by Peck (2011, 2016). It is not clear if this species occurs on both islands or on only one of these. Romero & Johnson’s records are based on “labels of specimens in many of the larger collections of bruchids”.
Family CHRYSOMELIDAE Latreille, 1802: 220
Subfamily GALERUCINAE Latreille, 1802: 228
Acalymma innubum (Fabricius, 1775): 117
Two specimens from Antigua on GBIF from UWIC (Rutherford & Auguste 2018b) are additions to the range as published by Peck (2016).
Disonycha leptolineata Blatchley, 1917: 143
Questel (2014: 19) listed Disonycha glabrata (Fabricius, 1781): 156 for St. Barthélemy but later seemed to correct this to D. leptolineata (Questel 2018: 17). It is not clear if vouchers are available. Hitherto the only Disonycha species known in the region is D. spilotrachela (see above).
Subfamily CRYPTOCEPHALINAE Gyllenhal, 1813: 582
Cryptocephalus irroratus Suffrian, 1852: 32
Questel (2018: 17) listed this species as introduced to St. Barthélemy. This species is not mentioned by Peck (2011, 2016). It is not clear if vouchers are available.
Family BRENTIDAE Billberg, 1820a: 40
Subfamily BRENTINAE Billberg, 1820a: 40
Brentus anchorago (Linnaeus, 1758): 383
Listed by Questel (2018: 16) for St. Barthélemy. This species is not mentioned by Peck (2011, 2016). It is not clear if vouchers are available.
Family CURCULIONIDAE Latreille, 1802: 195
Subfamily DRYOPHTHORINAE Schönherr, 1825: column 588
Cosmopolites sordidus (Germar, 1823 ): 299
Ballou (1918: 379) reported its first occurrence on Antigua, an island not listed by Peck (2011, 2016). It is not clear if Ballou’s record was based on vouchers. For the year of publication see Bousquet (2016).
Rhinostomus scrutator (Olivier, 1807): 233
A specimen found “on dried herbs” in a parcel-post package from Montserrat intercepted on December 6, 1938, in Boston is listed by Vaurie (1970). She added that it was an unusual record and that the species was probably not established on the island.
Subfamily CURCULIONINAE Latreille, 1802: 195
Anthonomus argentatus Gyllenhal, 1835c: 343
Not in Peck (2011, 2016) although described based on specimens from St. Barthélemy and listed by several authors including Leng & Mutchler (1914: 472), Blackwelder (1947: 838), O’Brien & Wibmer (1982: 106) and Clark (1990: 568).
Huaca pacha Clark, 1993: 11
Peck (2011, 2016) listed both Nevis and St. Kitts. We have not been able to find an earlier published record for Nevis. Clark described Huaca pacha based on two female specimens from St. Kitts (Philips Level, L.D. Coote; Bakers Ghut, L.D. Coote). A single-island endemic.
Subfamily CRYPTORHYNCHINAE Schönherr, 1825: column 585
Coelosternus balteatus Sahlberg, 1823: 50
Not in Peck (2011, 2016) although described based on specimens from St. Barthélemy and listed by several authors including Leng & Mutchler (1914: 475), Blackwelder (1947: 865) and O’Brien & Wibmer (1982: 152).
Euscepes postfasciatus (Fairmaire, 1849): 513
Myers (1931: 145, as Euscepes batatae) listed Montserrat, an island not mentioned by Peck (2011, 2016). It is not clear if vouchers are available.
Neoulosomus erinaceus (Schönherr, 1826): 294
Not in Peck (2011, 2016) although described based on specimens from St. Barthélemy and listed by several authors including Leng & Mutchler (1914: 474), Blackwelder (1947: 862) and O’Brien & Wibmer (1982: 143).
Subfamily ENTIMINAE Schönherr, 1823: column 1138
Myllocerus undecimpustulatus Faust, 1891: 266
An invasive weevil native to Sri Lanka. It was first found in the New World in 2000 in Florida (O’Brien et al. 2006), in 2016 followed by the Cayman Islands (Malumphy et al. 2018). Questel (2018) listed it for St. Barthélemy. It is not clear if vouchers are available.
Subfamily LIXINAE Schönherr, 1823: column 1146
Microlarinus lareynii (Jacquelin du Val, 1852): 714
Bennett (1971: 371) mentioned the introduction of this species on St. Kitts in 1968 as a biological control agent against the annual herb puncture vine (Tribulus cistoides). However, it did not seem to have succeeded in establishing itself on the island. Weevils were recovered in April, but none were recovered in October 1969 and in limited samplings in March 1971 (Bennett 1971, van Lenteren & Bueno 2020: 415).
Microlarinus lypriformis (Wollaston, 1861): 102
Listed by Peck (2011, 2016) for the Antilles from the Bahamas, Curaçao, Jamaica, Puerto Rico and St. Kitts. Cock (1985: 116) and van Lenteren & Bueno (2020: 415) also mentioned the introduction of this species on Nevis in 1968 as a biological control agent against the annual herb puncture vine (Tribulus cistoides). It established itself but the puncture vine stand on Nevis airport was later destroyed when the runway was enlarged. This may have eradicated the weevil population on the island (Bennett 1989). The current status of both weed and weevil on Nevis are unknown (Winston et al. 2014).
Subfamily SCOLYTINAE Latreille, 1804: 156
Ambrosiodmus devexulus (Wood, 1978): 398
Bright (2019: 252) noted that there is no voucher for the record for Montserrat in Ivie et al. (2008b) which was also listed by Peck (2016).
Ambrosiodmus obliquus (LeConte, 1878): 432
Bright (2019: 255) added Montserrat to the range as published by Peck (2016).
Araptus hymenaea (Eggers, 1933): 9
Bright (2019: 329) added Montserrat to the range as published by Peck (2016) who listed it as mentioned as an unidentified Araptus by Ivie et al. (2008b).
Araptus ineditus Bright, 2019: 331
This species is present on the Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, Montserrat and Dominica. Ivie et al. (2008b) and Peck (2016) listed it as an unidentified Araptus.
Chramesus opacicollis Eggers, 1940: 124
Bright (2019: 40) added Montserrat to the range as published by Peck (2016) who mentioned it as listed as an unidentified Chramesus in Ivie et al. (2008b).
Chramesus squamosus Bright, 2019: 44
Endemic to Montserrat. Listed as an unidentified Chramesus in Ivie et al. (2008b) and Peck (2016).
Cladoctonus interruptus (Eggers, 1940): 126
Bright (2019: 47) added Antigua and Montserrat to the range as published by Peck (2016). Listed for Montserrat by Ivie et al. (2008b) and Peck (2016) as Cladoctonus sp.
Cnesinus brevisetosus Bright, 2019: 24
Endemic to Montserrat. Listed as Cnesinus sp. by Ivie et al. (2008b).
Cnesinus guadeloupensis Eggers, 1940: 137
Bright (2019: 24) added Montserrat to the range as published by Peck (2016). Listed as Cnesinus sp. by Ivie et al. (2008b).
Coccotrypes robustus Eichhoff, 1878a: 391
A record from Antigua for a species elsewhere known from the Greater Antilles and the Bahamas (Bright 2019: 239). A species not listed by Peck (2016).
Corthylus tuberculatus Eggers, 1940: 140
Bright (2019: 406) added Montserrat to the range as published by Peck (2016).
Cryptocarenus seriatus Eggers, 1933: 10
Bright (2019: 110) added Antigua to the range as published by Peck (2016).
Dendrocranulus fulgens Bright, 2019: 245
This species occurs on Montserrat and Martinique (Bright 2019).
Dryocoetoides cristatus (Fabricius, 1801a): 389
Bright (2019: 260) added Montserrat to the range as published by Peck (2016) who listed this species as Dryocetoides (sic!) cristatus.
Gymnochilus insularis (Eggers, 1932): 232
Listed as Gymnochilus reitteri (Eichhoff, 1878a: 388) in Ivie et al. (2008b) and Peck (2016) (Bright 2019: 184). Note that the citation for Egger’s paper in Bright (2019) referred to volume 48 of the “Wiener Entomologische Zeitung”. This should be volume 49. For the correct citation for G. reitteri see Johnson et al. (2020).
Hylocurus anomala Bright, 2019: 74
Endemic to Montserrat. Mentioned as unidentified Hylocurus spp. in Ivie et al. (2008b) and Peck (2016).
Hypothenemus californicus Hopkins, 1915: 19
Bright (2019: 127) added Antigua to the range as published by Peck (2016).
Hypothenemus collinus Bright, 2019: 129
This species occurs on Montserrat and St. Lucia (Bright 2019).
Hypothenemus erectus LeConte, 1876: 356
Bright (2019: 29) added Montserrat to the range as published by Peck (2016). Specimens of this species from Montserrat were listed as Hypothenemus birmanus (Eichhoff, 1878a: 384) in Ivie et al. (2008b). However, Bright (2019) concluded that the characters hitherto used to distinguish the two species are all extremely variable and cannot be used to distinguish them. As such, he considered all New World identifications of the Old World tropical H. birmanus misidentifications. However, Bright added that further research might show that the two taxa are synonymous. For the correct citation see Johnson et al. (2020).
Hypothenemus fuscicollis (Eichhoff, 1878a): 386
Listed for Montserrat by Ivie et al. (2008b) and Peck (2016) as Hypothenemus comosus Bright, 1972: 50 which was synonymised by Bright (2019: 140). According to Bright (2019) no vouchers exist for this island record. For the correct citation see Johnson et al. (2020).
Hypothenemus gossypii (Hopkins, 1915): 25
Listed by Ivie et al. (2008b) and Peck (2016) for Montserrat but most likely based on a misidentification. Until authentic species are available this island record should be ignored (Bright 2019).
Hypothenemus obscurifrons Bright, 2019: 155
This species is present on Antigua, the Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico (Bright 2019).
Hypothenemus opacus (Eichhoff, 1872): 132
Ivie et al. (2008b) listed a specimen of Hypothenemus dolosus Wood, 1974 from Montserrat. Bright (2019: 159) synonymised this taxon with H. opacus. He referred to Ivie’s record for Montserrat but noted that this is a literature record and there is no voucher available. Elsewhere, known from Cuba, Dominican Republic, Jamaica and Puerto Rico.
Hypothenemus pygmaeomorphus Bright, 2019: 166
Endemic to Montserrat (Bright 2019).
Hypothenemus setiferous Bright, 2019: 169
Endemic to Montserrat (Bright 2019).
Monarthrum antillicum Bright, 2019: 416
This species occurs on Montserrat, Guadeloupe and Dominica (Bright 2019).
Pagiocerus frontalis (Fabricius, 1801a): 389
Bright (2019: 29) added St. Kitts to the range as published by Peck (2016).
Pityophthorus laevis ( Schedl, 1938): 181
A specimen from Montserrat (Bright 2019: 375). A species not listed by Peck (2016).
Pityophthorus pauculus Bright, 2019: 380
New species from Montserrat and St. Lucia (Bright 2019).
Pityophthorus subconcentralis Schedl, 1938: 183
A specimen from Montserrat (Bright 2019: 387). An addition to the range as published by Peck (2016).
Premnobius cavipennis Eichhoff, 1878b: 404
Bright (2019: 249) added St. Kitts to the range as published by Peck (2016).
Pseudothysanoes lautus Bright, 2019: 92
New species from Antigua, Montserrat and Guadeloupe. Listed as Pseudothysanoes sp. for Montserrat by Ivie et al. (2008b) and Peck (2016).
Pseudothysanoes minutissimus Bright, 2019: 96
Endemic to Montserrat. Listed as an unidentified Pseudothysanoes in Ivie et al. (2008b) and Peck (2016).
Pycnarthrum pallidum (Chapuis, 1869): 41
Bright (2019: 193) added Antigua to the range as published by Peck (2016).
Scolytodes iviei Bright, 2019: 204
New species from Antigua, Montserrat, St. Kitts and Guadeloupe. Listed as Scolytodes sp. for Montserrat by Ivie et al. (2008b).
Scolytogenes jalappae (Letzner, 1849): 99
The year of publication should be 1849, not 1848 as mentioned in most publications including Wood & Bright (1992), Wood (2007) and Bright (2019). Bright (2019: 180) added Antigua and Montserrat to the range as published by Peck (2016) who listed this species as Scolytogenes knabi (Hopkins, 1915: 34). The latter taxon was synonymised with S. jalappae by Wood (2007).
Xyleborinus gracilis (Eichhoff, 1868b): 145
Bright (2019: 281) added Montserrat to the range as published by Peck (2016).
Xyleborus bispinatus Eichhoff, 1868b: 146
A specimen from Montserrat (Bright 2019: 291) but Bright noted that this species is doubtfully distinct from Xyleborus ferrugineus (see above under the species from the Dutch islands).
We would like to thank Jeroen van der Brugge, Thijs van den Burg, Marijke Kanters, Hannah Madden, Ellen van Norren, Wesley Overman, Rens Vogel, Sil Westra and Ambrosius van Zanten for collecting beetles outside the plots during the St. Eustatius Scientific Terrestrial Expedition. The librarians of Naturalis Biodiversity Center and the Netherlands Entomological Society were of great help during the literature research. The help of Rafael Braga (Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro) with identifying a female Thermonectus is highly appreciated. Ron Beenen (Naturalis Biodiversity Center) contributed several records from Bonaire and Jaap Winkelman and Dré Teunissen (both EIS) donated their collections of beetles from Bonaire and Curaçao, respectively. Mike Ivie, Fortuné Chalumeau and Julien Touroult (Muséum National d’Histoire Naturelle) provided valuable information and photos. The St. Eustatius National Parks Foundation (STENAPA) provided the collecting permits for the 2015 St. Eustatius Expedition. Oscar Vorst, the first author’s mentor in coleopterology, and Hans Huijbregts, curator Coleoptera at Naturalis Biodiversity Center, took ample time to read an earlier version of this lengthy manuscript and provided useful comments and advice which helped to improve this catalogue. Michiel Boeken, Gert van Ee, Elisabeth Haber, Donna Ivie, Marijke Kanters, Mardik Leopold, Tyler Tran en Jaap Winkelman contributed their excellent photos. This study was co-funded by Naturalis Biodiversity Center, the European Invertebrate Survey, and the first author.
