Comments. Princis (1969) believes this species is probably of East Asian origin, and Roth (1985) agrees. Although no specimens collected, it is most likely a result of our target bias for natural habitats. In addition to these previous records on St. Croix, St. John, and St. Thomas, a local BVI pest control agent has also confirmed its presence in major edificarian habitats on Virgin Gorda and Tortola (J. Egelhoff 24.X.2011, pers. comm.).
