Distribution. Western Atlantic: Bahamas, Cuba, Jamaica, St. John, St. Croix, St. Martin, Guadeloupe, Isla de Aves, Martinique, Barbados, Isla de Blanquilla, Isla de Margarita, Isla de Cubagua, Tortuga, Bonaire, and Curaçao ( Rathbun 1897; García & Capote 2015; Poupin 2018).

Material examined. Barbados, Drill Hall , St. Michael, nearshore rubble, 13°04’36.30” N, 59°36’26.63” W, 1 ♀ CW: 20.4 mm ( BLSZ 124 ) GoogleMaps .

Remarks. Specimens of Ozius reticulatus were collected by hand in nearshore rubble habitat at low tide. These crabs were caught in the high intertidal (splash) zone on the west coast of Barbados under rubble rocks. Rathbun (1921: 72) reported one female specimen of Ozius reticulatus collected from Barbados during the Barbados-Antigua Expedition in 1918 (USNM 75968). Another specimen was collected by Nutting, during the same expedition (one male, USNM 69041). This species is very abundant on the south coast, but no specimens were collected from the east or west coasts of Barbados.
