Forty-nine of these 93 species (52.7%) are country endemics, 13 (14.0%) are state endemics, and 31 (33.3%) are non-endemics. Thus, 62 species (66.7%) are endemic, but are not represented within the protected areas of the state.

Additional surveys are necessary to determine which of these 93 species might be located in one or more of the existing protected areas, and which would require protection in newly-established areas. The numbers of these species recorded in the four physiographic regions of the state are as follows: GCL (35), SLT (0), SMO (57), and TVB (38). Interestingly, the largest proportion of these 93 species that are not represented in existing protected areas is in the SMO (61.3%), a region that currently does not contain any designated protected areas. This fact provides an additional reason why protected areas should be established in the limited portion of the state occupied by elements of the SMO.
