Buenoa antigone antigone (Kirkaldi, 1899) View in CoL

This widespread species of the Caribbean and Central America has previously been reported from St. Croix and Puerto Rico ( Truxal 1953; Nieser 1967). We present the first record of this species from St. Thomas. We found B. a. antigone in the water hazards at the Herman E. Moore Golf Course on the University of the Virgin Islands campus. The species was present in large numbers.
