Archaeologists have long noted similarities between the lithic artifacts of the first colonists of the Greater Antilles (ca. 3500-2000 B.C.) and those from the eastern Yucatán Peninsula. Recent archaeological work in northern Belize has provided additional archaeological information on the characteristics and dating of the mainland assemblages. New findings by Caribbean archaeologists also have contributed to a clearer picture of the circumstances surrounding the first human migration to the Greater Antilles. A Yucatecan origin for the first Caribbean migrants is now considered probable.

First Time

<p><em>Aristelliger georgeensis</em>, previously known to occur in the Yucatan peninsula (Mexico), the coasts and islands from Belize and Honduras, and the oceanic islands of Colombia in the Caribbean (San Andres, Providence and Saint Catalina) was registered for the first time in Roncador Cay, a flat and small island of coralline origin, located in the southwest of the Caribbean. Being considered as an endangered species at the national level, the new locality for this gecko constitutes an opportunity for its conservation. Some topics regarding the possible origins of this new population are discussed. This new locality represents the eastern most documented record of this species so far.</p><p><strong>La especie amenazada <em>A</em><em>ristelliger georgeensis</em> (Squamata: Sphaerodactylidae) en el Cayo Roncador, Caribe colombiano</strong></p><p><em>Aristelliger georgeensis</em>, previamente conocido de la península de Yucatán (México), las costas e islas de Belice y Honduras y de las islas oceánicas de Colombia en el Caribe (San Andrés, Providencia y Santa Catalina), fue registrado por primera vez en el Cayo Roncador, una isla plana y pequeña de origen coralino, ubicada en el suroccidente del Caribe.

Over Time

The tribe Otteiini is a group of cave crickets, that were believed only to inhabit the Greater Antilles (Cuba, Cayman Islands, and Hispaniola). However, when reviewing and studying similar cave crickets in Mexico, their relationship was proven with island taxa, expanding their distribution to the continental area, from the Yucatan Peninsula to the Gulf and Northeast of Mexico. Herein, the genus Paracophus is divided, and three additional genera are described: Hubbellcophus n. gen., Venegascophus n. gen. and Hortacophus n. gen. Also, two additional species for Paracophus are described (P. victoriensis n. sp. and P. velazquezi n. sp.). Diagnoses for all genera and dichotomous keys for genera and species are provided. Finally, the taxonomic relationships between the insular and continental taxa of the tribe are discussed, and the different taxonomic placements they had over time, with some genera located in Phalangopsinae and Luzarinae (Phalangopsidae) and Pentacentrinae (Gryllidae).

A New Species

A new species of Remipedia (Crustacea) is described from a recently discovered section of the anchialine cave systemCenote Crustacea, situated on the northeastern coast of the Yucatán Peninsula. Speleonectes fuchscockburni n. sp. is thesecond remipede species from the Caribbean coast of Mexico. Adult specimens are relatively small and slender, with bodylengths between 12 and 16 mm, and up to 35 trunk segments. The new species can be distinguished morphologically fromS. tulumensis by sparsely setose appendages, a ventral antennular flagellum composed of 5–6 segments, and 10–12 deeplyincised denticles of the terminal maxillary and maxillpedal claws. The status of Speleonectes fuchscockburni as a new spe-cies is validated by a comparison of cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) sequences from selected remipede taxa, includ-ing Speleonectes tulumensis. The uniquely high abundance of S. tulumensis in Cenote Crustacea and the distribution of the two remipedes in this cave are discussed in relation to hydrology and cave morphology.
