Nephropsis rosea - Guadeloupe, Karubenthos II 2015, field det. J. Poupin, st. CP4513, 8 June 2015, 16°12.58'N, 61°53.14'W, 644-406 m, MNHN-IU-2013-18772; st. CP4619, 25 June 2015, 16°20.98'N, 60°45.96'W, 774-643 m, MNHN-IU-2013-19091; st. CP4643, 28 June 2015, 15°44.98'N, 61°11.07'W, 609-611 m, MNHN-IU-2013-19153.
Comment: determination is based on distance between anterior supraorbital spine and gastric tubercle as 2/3 distance between gastric tubercle and cervical groove, which is the most constant and reliable character to distinguish this species from N. aculeata (cf. Holthuis, 1974: 788).
