Discussion.

The only three previously described species of Ulrica are known from Venezuela. There are about 20 more species that remain undescribed in various collections, but they were also collected from Venezuela. Among West Indian genera, Ulrica can be recognized based on the following key. The five specimens of Ulrica that were collected in Puerto Rico come from the same mountain region, El Yunque. Based on the labels, the substrate that they came from differs for two species: it is moss for Ulrica eltoro and leaf litter for Ulrica iviei . The exact collecting locations for Ulrica iviei are unknown.
