Taxonomy of Neotropical Stelidota is very confused and a revision is badly needed. Therefore it is difficult to give the exact distributions of particular species. Nevertheless, this list attempts to correspond to present knowledge. Daltry 2009: 66 lists two undetermined species in St. Lucia. Plate 30.
