Notes. Some of the specimens recorded from St. Vincent & the Grenadines and Grenada as Pelogonus marginatus Latreille, 1804 (= O. marginatus (Latreille, 1804)) ( Uhler 1893, 1894a) actually belong to this species ( Kment et al. 2020). Records from Cuba are erroneous ( Muñoz et al. 2010; D. Polhemus & J. Polhemus 2016). The incorrect subsequent spelling in prevailing usage “ perbosci ” (instead of the original spelling “ perboscii ”) was fixed by Kment et al. (2020).
