Syllophopsis subcoeca

Distribution
This species is currently only known from the Caribbean region, where it is considered to be a native species (Fernández, 2007). The name has been applied to specimens from other regions but always with qualifiers such as "compare with" or "near". Current data suggests that these are distinct species rather than S. subcoeca itself.
