DOI: 10.31611/ch.68
Date of observation: 8 December 2018. Location: Grenada, St. George’s, Port Louis Marina. Coordinates:
12.044523, -61.747993. Elevation: 0 m. Voucher: image (Fig. 1). This species has not been reported previously
from Grenada. I observed two individuals on the outer wall of a small shack located on a pier of Port Louis Mari-
na, approximately 120 m from shore. I did not encounter additional individuals in the marina during a period of
ten days, suggesting that it is not yet well-established in the area.
