A97A87F3FFECFF88FFEBFA97FE255803.taxon	distribution	DISTRIBUTION. Hispaniola and Mona Island (Puerto Rico). This species was recorded from Mona Island by Esposito et al. (2017: 27), but without mentioning the material examined. Teruel et al. (2017) synonymizes Centruroides mariaorum Santiago-Blay, 2009, described from Mona Island, to C. bani, and added new localities from this small insular territory, as well as notes on its habitat.	en	de Armas, Luis F.

A97A87F3FFECFF88FFEBF9B4FB055B80.taxon	distribution	DISTRIBUTION. Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico, including some satellite islands of the last (Vieques, Culebra, Caja de Muertos, Magueyes). The presence of C. griseus in Desecheo Island (Torres-González, 1965, cited by Santiago-Blay, 2009: 112) was considered by Teruel et al. (2015: 13) as needed of verification and probably erroneous. The Puerto Rican population was described by Armas (1982) as Centruroides griseus borinquensis, but later downgraded by him to subspecies (Armas, 1988: 50). Nevertheless, Santiago-Blay (2009: 112) mentioned it as a subspecies of C. griseus (C. L. Koch, 1844), whereas Esposito & Prendini (2019) removed it from the synonymy with C. griseus, and raised it to the species level, a nomenclatural action overlooked by Crew & Esposito (2020: fig. 11), who again mentioned it as a subspecies of C. griseus. If C. griseus borinquensis is a good species, then it would be most strongly demonstrated. Consequently, at this moment caution seems preferable. This is the most common scorpion in Puerto Rico and Virgin Islands, also being synanthropic (Santiago-Blay, 2009).	en	de Armas, Luis F.

A97A87F3FFECFF88FCAAFA34FB8558A0.taxon	distribution	DISTRIBUTION. Only known from the type locality: Puerto Rico: Patillas: Barrio Guardarraya, close to Barrio Pollo. This species was barely described on the basis of a single adult female, which is the only known specimen. On July 28, 2010, personal effort for rediscovering it in the type locality was fruitless. It remains as a species pendant of confirmation (Teruel et al., 2015: 12).	en	de Armas, Luis F.

A97A87F3FFECFF8FFCAAF8D4FE825969.taxon	distribution	DISTRIBUTION. Only known from the type locality: Caja de Muertos Island. This species was described on the basis of a single adult male, which is the only known specimen. Its description is very inadequate and efforts for rediscovering it have been unproductive, because all the collected specimens were C. griseus (Armas, 2010; Teruel et al., 2015). In a very recent paper on Caribbean arthropod biogeography, Crew & Esposito (2020: fig. 11) included this dubious species in their analyses, but likely they were in error. Its taxonomical status is pendant of confirmation (Teruel et al., 2015: 12; but also see Armas, 2010: 62).	en	de Armas, Luis F.

A97A87F3FFEBFF8FFFEBF8AEFD7B59A9.taxon	distribution	DISTRIBUTION. Cosmotropical. This synanthropic species was recorded by Banks (1906) from San Juan, Puerto Rico; Santiago-Blay (2009) mentioned 60 specimens that he alleged were examined, but data on their localities were lacking.	en	de Armas, Luis F.

Only known from the type locality: Puerto Rico: Sabana Grande Municipality: Barrio Susúa, Susúa State Forest (18 ° 05 ' 34 " N 66 ° 54 ' 32 " W). This species was described on the basis of a single adult female, which is the only known specimen.	en	de Armas, Luis F.

A97A87F3FFEBFF8EFCAAF84EFCB65B3E.taxon	distribution	DISTRIBUTION. Only known from the type locality: Culebrita Island (18 ° 05 ' 34 " N 66 ° 54 ' 32 " W). This species was described on the basis of a single adult female, which is the only known specimen. On the apical area of the left comb of the holotype (Fig. 13) there are two egg-like organisms solidly attached, similar to those found on some scorpions and a Colombian schizomid (Armas, 2003: fig. 2; Delgado-Santa & Armas, 2013: fig. 3 B), which were overlooked by Teruel et al. (2014). This enigmatic organism resembles an insect or mite egg, but its real origin is yet unknown. It also has been observed on an Oiclus sp. (Diplocentridae) from St. Kitts, Lesser Antilles (pers. obs.).	en	de Armas, Luis F.

A97A87F3FFEAFF8EFFEBF99BFE6F597E.taxon	distribution	DISTRIBUTION. Dominican Republic (Hispaniola Island) and Mona Island (Puerto Rico). This species was described from Mona Island as Rhopalurus virkkii Santiago-Blay, 2009, but Esposito et al. (2017) transferred it to Heteroctenus and synonymized it with H. abudi, as previously suggested by Teruel & Armas (2012: 216 - 217).	en	de Armas, Luis F.

A97A87F3FFEAFF8EFFEBFA5BFE81587E.taxon	distribution	DISTRIBUTION. Only known from the type locality: Vieques Island (probably from Monte Pirata, western part of the island). The female holotype and a male paratype are the only known specimens.	en	de Armas, Luis F.

A97A87F3FFEAFF8EFFEBF89BFE1359BE.taxon	distribution	DISTRIBUTION. Only known from the type locality: Vieques Island, probably from Monte Pirata (eastern part of the island).

A97A87F3FFEAFF8EFCAAFBBBFB3F5B7E.taxon	distribution	DISTRIBUTION. Southwestern Puerto Rico. Of this species only two specimens are known: the female holotype from Susúa State Forest, Sabana Grande Municipality, and other female from Juana Diaz, approximately 40 km E of the type locality (Teruel et al., 2015: 10).	en	de Armas, Luis F.

A97A87F3FFEAFF8EFCAAFA9BFBB25B9E.taxon	distribution	DISTRIBUTION. Most parts of Puerto Rico. A redescription of this species and data on its natural history were provided by Teruel et al.

A97A87F3FFEAFF8EFCAAFA3BFB7F58FD.taxon	distribution	DISTRIBUTION. Mainly northeastern Puerto Rico. According with Teruel et al. (2015: 10 - 11), an adult female and two immatures collected on south of Sierra de Guardarraya, Patilla, southeastern Puerto Rico, recorded by Armas (2010) as this species, might be T. alejandroi.	en	de Armas, Luis F.

A97A87F3FFEAFF8EFCAAF91BFC1259BE.taxon	distribution	DISTRIBUTION. Only known from the type locality: Puerto Rico: Ponce municipality: Guánica Forest. This is a very rare species of which only limited specimens have been collected (Teruel & Armas, 2006). As pointed out by Teruel & Sánchez (2009: 332), it is probable that some of the 25 adult specimens mentioned by Santiago-Blay (2009: 118) really belong to Tityus riverai (unfortunately, data of those specimens are unknown).	en	de Armas, Luis F.

A97A87F3FFE9FF8DFFE8F8D6FA315841.taxon	distribution	DISTRIBUTION. Mona Island. This species was erroneously described from Puerto Rico: Cordillera Central: Cerro de Puntas, but Armas (2006) emended this mistake. It was also described by Santiago-Blay (2009) as Cazierius tatae, but synonymized by Armas (2006). In their study on the scorpion fauna of Mona Island, Teruel et al. (2017) provided additional data on its natural history an also suggested that this species might be a junior synonym of Cazierius cicero (Armas & Marcano Fondeur, 1987) from the Dominican Republic.	en	de Armas, Luis F.

A97A87F3FFE9FF8DFCABF9F5FA805901.taxon	distribution	DISTRIBUTION. Southwestern parts of Puerto Rico, including the adjacent islands of Cueva, Caja de Muertos, Magueyes and Guayacán. The presence of this species in the Desecheo Island (Torres-Gonzalez, 1965, cited by Santiago-Blay, 2009: 111) was considered by Teruel et al. (2015: 13) as needing a verification and probably erroneous. An immature recorded by Armas (2005) from Mona Island was really a mislabeled specimen from Puerto Rico (Teruel et al., 2017).	en	de Armas, Luis F.

A97A87F3FFE9FF8DFFE8FA76FDDC5801.taxon	distribution	DISTRIBUTION. Puerto Rico. This species is widely distributed in this island and has been studied from several points of view (Torres-González, 1965, 1967; Armas, 1977, 1982, 2010; Santiago-Blay, 2009; Teruel & Sánchez, 2010).	en	de Armas, Luis F.

A97A87F3FFE9FF8CFCABF856FDEC5D57.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Of the 16 confirmed species of scorpions described from these Greater Antillean islands, four (M. borincanus, M. santosi, T. alejandroi, T. angelesae) are known for a sex and only one or two adult specimens. Seven species, six of them belonging to the genus Tityus, are endemic of Puerto Rico Island; Vieques has two ones (M. vieques and T. alejandroi), whereas Mona Island and Culebrita Island has one species each (C. garridoi and M. santosi, respectively). At least two species (C. bani and H. abudi) are shared with Hispaniola and one (C. griseus) is also found in Virgin Islands. The only introduced species is I. maculatus. Two species (Centruroides jorgeorum Santiago-Blay, 2009 and C. sasae Santiago-Blay, 2009) remain to be confirmed and are not listed among the 16 confirmed ones; and one more species (Tityus dasyurus Pocock, 1897) is possibly not a Puerto Rican taxon (Teruel et al., 2020).	en	de Armas, Luis F.
