See Schileyko (2014: 154) , Schileyko & Stoev (2016: 250) . Ecology in Martinique . This species ( Fig. 36 ) is found in the humid areas being mainly collected in the rain forests, but some specimens are observed in certain high-altitude cultivated environments such as banana plantations. Range (after Le, Schileyko & Nguyen 2023: 432 , improved). North America: Mexico ; Central America: Costa Rica , Honduras , Guatemala to Panama ; Greater Antilles: Puerto Rico , Haiti ( Dominican Republic ), Lesser Antilles: Martinique , Saint Vincent and Grenadines , Trinidad ; South America: Venezuela (States: Aragua , Miranda , Zulia ), Colombia (Pacific, Andean and Amazonian Regions), Ecuador , Peru , Brazil . South East Asia and Australasia: Nicobar Island, Vietnam , Taiwan , Philippines , Indonesia ( Java , Sumatra , Sulawesi , Maluku Islands , West Papua Province ), Papua New Guinea , Fiji Islands . Remarks. The present data indicate a high-altitude distribution of S. melanostoma , since the overwhelming majority of our specimens were collected above 550 m ; however Chagas-Jr et al . (2014) recorded for the Colombian population of this species a very wide altitudinal range (from 60 to 2760 m ).
