Cataleptodius floridanus is very abundant in Barbados and was collected by hand at low tide in nearshore rubble habitat, under rock rubble, on the west coast of Barbados . Rathbun (1921: 69) reported specimens of Leptodius floridanus ( one juvenile , USNM 76108; one male , one juvenile female, USNM 76166; four females (three ovigerous), USNM 58006; two males , USNM 76107; three males , USNM 58007) collected in Barbados by the Barbados-Antigua Expedition in 1918.
