Bidessonotus caraibus (Chevrolat, 1863)

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.) .

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).

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).

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.
