Correction 2023
Microprosthema jareckii Martin, 2002: Tortola (Guana Island) - Accepted as M. semilaeve (cf. Goy & Martin, 2013).
J. Goy kindly informed us that this is an error, M. jarecikii being accepted as Microprosthema manningi Goy & Felder, 1988. This latter species therefore added to the Lesser Antilles database.
