Of these eight unnamed species, three had an existing nomenclatural history under misidentifications, some going back as far as 1859. Hundreds of misidentified island records were discovered and corrected, changing a picture of widespread, dispersalist taxa making more-orless random multispecies assemblages across the eastern Caribbean into a far more informative pattern of three groups of species, ordered in adjacent regions, with most species clearly limited to banks exposed during the Pleistocene.
