Strategus talpa (Fabr.)

Strategus talpa is known from Puerto Rico and the Leeward Islands ( Antigua, St. Barthélemy, St. Croix, St. John, St. Thomas, and Tortola) ( Ratcliffe 1976). Surface-currents could account for over-water dispersal from Puerto Rico to the Exumas in the Bahamas. It remains unknown if S. talpa is established in the Bahamas.
