Sci., 27:19 . TYPE LOCALITY: Puerto Rico , Jobo Dist., near Utuado . DISTRIBUTION: Hispaniola ( Haiti and Dominican Republic ) and offshore islands. Introduced on Puerto Rico , St. Thomas, St. Croix, and Mona Islands. The only known jutfa on La Gonave island. STATUS: Probably extinct, but possibly surviving on La Tortue island off the north coast of Haiti ( Woods et al., 1985 ). SYNONYMS: levir . COMMENTS: Even though the type locality is Puerto Rico , the species was apparently introduced there by Amerindians and the natural range is restricted to Hispaniola. Reported as extinct by Hall (1981:868) , but this species survived in Hispaniola and Puerto Rico until the last few decades, and may still survive in certain remote areas ( Woods et al., 1985 ). Includes I. levir ( Reynolds et al., 1953 ) .
