Hexadesmus lateridens
Loomis, 1933
Published records
. “Behind the Mountain”; “Great Hill” (
Jeekel 1999
).
New records
. None.
Remarks
. Described from
Cuba
,
H. lateridens
is also known from
the Grenadines
(Carriacou) and
St. Kitts
(
Loomis 1933
,
1934
;
Jeekel 1999
), although
Hoffman (1999)
thought these records might refer to another species because they are based on females. It also occurs in the Galapagos, and
Shear and Peck (1987)
suggested that it may be parthenogenetic, which is important for synanthropic species.
