SYNONYMS: None.

DISTRIBUTION: Tlacuatzin insularis occurs in the Islas Marías (also known as the Tres Marias Islands) off the Pacific coast of Mexico ( Arcangeli et al., 2018: fig. 3).

REMARKS: A very brief morphological diagnosis and tabulated measurement data were provided by Arcangeli et al. (2018), whose phylogenetic analyses of DNA sequence data suggest that Tlacuatzin insularis is the sister taxon of T. sinaloae .
