Strategus anachoreta Burmeister

Strategus anachoreta occurs in Cuba ( Ratcliffe 1976). It seems likely that this species rafted to Eleuthera on flotsam, although the surface currents from Cuba to Eleuthera are not particularly conducive for this. It remains unknown (and unlikely in our opinion) that S. anachoreta is established in the Bahamas.
