ABSTRACT

The Antillean subregion comprises the Antilles or West Indies (Greater and Lesser Antilles) and the Bahamas (Morrone, 2004a, 2006, 2014b). The Greater Antilles include Cuba, Jamaica, Hispaniola, and Puerto Rico, and the Lesser Antilles include Grenada, The Grenadines, St. Vincent, Barbados, St. Lucia, Martinique, Dominica, Marie Galante, Guadeloupe, La Desirade, Montserrat, Antigua, Nevis, St. Kitts, Barbuda, St. Eustatius, Saba, St. Barthélemy, St. Martin, and Anguilla. The Antillean subregion was recognized originally by Wallace (1876). This subregion has been previously lumped with Central America (Clarke, 1892; Rivas-Martínez and Navarro, 1994; Holt et al., 2013) and with southern Mexico, Central America, and northwestern South America (Morrone, 1999, 2006).
