Chlorodius limosus Desbonne in Desbonne & Schramm, 1867: 30, Guadeloupe [près des plages vaseuses] - Type not extant in Ratbhun (1930), accepted as Cataleptodius floridanus (Gibbes, 1850) in WoRMS (2016).
Chlorodius caribaeus Desbonne in Desbonne & Schramm, 1867: 31, Guadeloupe. - Leptodius ?caribaeus - A. Milne-Edwards, 1873-1880: 270, Guadeloupe [from Desbonne with this remark: cette espèce ne diffère d'ailleurs du Leptodius floridanus que par sa largeur plus grande]. - Rathbun, 1930: 462, footnote 52, 'the identity of Chlorodius caribaeus' Desbonne … has not been determined' - Chlorodius caribaeus Desbonne is a species incertae sedis, not located in MHNN, dry collection of Desbonne and not indicated in WoRMS (2016) nor in Ng et al. (1998); it is most probably a junior synonym of Cataleptodius floridanus.
