Hexadesmus lateridens Loomis, 1933

Published records. “Behind the Mountain”; “Great Hill” ( Jeekel 1999).

New records. None.

Remarks. Described from Cuba, H. lateridens is also known from the Grenadines (Carriacou) and St. Kitts ( Loomis 1933, 1934; Jeekel 1999), although Hoffman (1999) thought these records might refer to another species because they are based on females. It also occurs in the Galapagos, and Shear and Peck (1987) suggested that it may be parthenogenetic, which is important for synanthropic species.
