Remarks. Proctacanthus vittatus is the most widespread of the 3 species of Proctacanthus in Hispaniola, occurring at low altitude in southern Haiti and southern and northern Dominican Republic. It is most similar to P. dominicana , differing primarily by the dense setae on sternite 9 being undivided medially, and the apical fringe of setae on sternite 8 is shorter, finer, and doubled rowed ( Curran, 1951).
