Bidessonotus caraibus (Chevrolat, 1863) View in CoL
PUBLISHED RECORDS. YOUNG (1990)
STUDIED MATERIAL. TOLEDO: Punta Gorda , shallow pool, 16°05'19,7"N, 88°48'53,4"W, 05.V.2015, Leg. K. Scheers & A. Thomaes (1 ex.) GoogleMaps .
DISTRIBUTION. Belize, Cuba ( Young, 1990; Miller, 2016). B. caraibus is known only from one record in the extreme north and another in the south of Belize ( Fig. 2 D View Fig ).
HABITAT. Nothing is known on the habitat preference of this species. The single specimen found during this survey was collected at coastal level in a shallow pool on exposed substratum in open vegetation ( Fig. 5 View Fig ).
NOTE. The disjunct distribution of this species is notable and could reflect a lack of sampling effort in the intermediate areas, but could also be an indication that the Belizean and Cuban populations may not be conspecific.
