Description

Locality: Dominica.

Identification

Endemic to the islands of Saba, Barbuda, St. Kitts, Nevis, Montserrat, Guadeloupe, Dominica, St. Vincent & Greneda in the Lesser Antilles. Does not occur St. Lucia & Martinique contrary to the claims in some books. Several recent reports indicate presence on Antigua.

Taxonomy

Hunt et al. 2001 present results that indicate that the Brown Tremblers from Guadeloupe/Montserrat (and probably from islands north of there) and the ones from Dominica/St. Vincent probably represent two different species, both separate from the already widely accepted Gray Trembler.
