Eantis busiris negro Kaye : Kaye (1921, no. 357) TL, Barcant (1970, no. 457) [misspelling of sp.] Achlyodes busirus (Cramer) View in CoL f. negro (Kaye): Williams and Bell (1931)

Achlyodes busirus negro (Kaye) View in CoL : Evans (1953), Cock (1982, no. 118), Hernández (1992), Cock (2000), Beccaloni et al. (2008)

Eantis thraso (Hübner, [1807])

Eantis thraso (Hübner) : Kaye (1914), Kaye (1921, no. 356), Barcant (1970, no. 456)

Eantis papinianus (Poey) : Kaye (1921, no. 358), Barcant (1970, no. 458) [a different species] Achlyodes thraso thraso (Hübner) View in CoL : Evans (1953), Cock (1982, no. 119)

Achlyodes thraso (Hübner) View in CoL : Cock (2000)

Achlyodes mithridates thraso (Hübner [1807]) View in CoL : Mielke (2004), Beccaloni et al. (2008)

Brown and Heinemann (1972) considered the Jamaican E. mithridates (Fabricius) View in CoL to be a separate species from the mainland E. thraso View in CoL , and Cock (2000) followed this, pointing out the apparent differences in the caterpillars. In his unpublished 1996 honours thesis, A.D. Warren (1996) reinstated the genus Eantis View in CoL for thraso View in CoL , which he considered a valid species, and this was subsequently published ( Warren 2000) but without explanation. These changes were not followed by Mielke (2004), but were accepted by Pelham (2008) for the North American checklist, and so are followed here.

Ouleus fridericus (Geyer, 1832) View in CoL sinepunctis ( Kaye, 1904) View in CoL

Achlyodes terrens (Schaus) : Kaye (1904, no. 237), Kaye (1921, no. 353), Barcant (1970, no. 452) Staphylus sinepunctis Kaye View in CoL : Kaye (1904, no. 251) TL, Kaye (1921, no. 374), Barcant (1970, no. 490) Achlyodes caliginea (Mabille) : Kaye (1914), Kaye (1921, no. 354), Barcant (1970, no. 453) [misspelling of coeliginea, a synonym of fridericus View in CoL ]

Quadrus contubernalis contubernalis (Mabille, 1883) View in CoL

New island record: ♂ collected Mt. Tamana, 14 Oct 1995, MJWC.

Quadrus lugubris (R. Felder, 1869) ophia (Butler, 1870)

Pythonides lugubris (R. Felder) : Kaye (1904, no. 235), Kaye (1921, no. 348), Barcant (1970, no. 447) Quadrus lugubris (R. Felder) View in CoL : Williams and Bell (1931)

Quadrus lugubris ophia (Butler) View in CoL : Evans (1953), Cock (1982, no. 101), Cock (1996), Beccaloni et al. (2008)

Pythonides pvianus jovianus (Stoll) View in CoL : Cock (1996) [misspelling]

Evans (1953) treated Pythonides jovianus as having four subspecies, but Austin and Warren (2002) suggest that it should be treated as a single variable species pending further study. This species still needs confirmation from Trinidad.

Pythonides limaea (Hewitson, 1868)

This species is now monotypic, its former subspecies having been raised to species rank by Austin and Warren (2002).
