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 &amp; Prendini (2019) removed it from the synonymy with C. griseus, and raised it to the species level, a nomenclatural action overlooked by Crew &amp; 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).</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/A97A87F3FFECFF88FFEBF9B4FB055B80	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

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 &amp; Esposito (2020: fig. 11) included this dubious species in their analyses, but likely they were in error.

This species was described from “ Porto Rico ”, but Teruel et al. (2020: 12) suggested that it seems to be a South or Central American taxon.</p><p>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 .</p><p>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).</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/A97A87F3FFE9FF8CFCABF856FDEC5D57	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
