Comments.
The species name refers to
the Dominican
Republic. It is apparently allopatric from
P. baorucensis
—see that species for discussion. Like that species,
P. dominicus
may also occur in
Haiti
where similar habitats have been conserved. There is a single specimen labelled as being from
Trinidad
in DEBU; it is presumably mislabelled, and it is unlikely this species occurs outside of Hispaniola.
