Morphological identification.
Both specimens mostly agree with the description and figures of Hebard (1916). However, there are slight differences in the supra-anal plate when compared to Hebard’s illustration. The white region on the SA plate of our specimen is slightly larger than in Hebard’s illustration. It is possible that this is a different species than that described by Hebard, but this cannot be fully determined without a full phylogenetic treatment of sexual morphology and genetic information of individuals from both Trinidad and Guyana.
Known geographic distribution.
Trinidad and Tobago, and Guyana
