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.

AbstractFrom plankton samples taken at a reef lagoon off Puerto Morelos, on the northern portion of the eastern coast of the Yucatan Peninsula, a new tropical subspecies of Monstrilla wandelii, only known from temperate-cold latitudes, is described from male specimens. The analysis of the main characteristics in the taxonomy of monstrilloids allowed its identification as M. wandelii. The new subspecies differs from the nominal species in the relative length and armature of the antennular segments, in the structure of the genital lappets of the fifth legs and in its total size, which is nearly 2.5 times that of the nominal subspecies.

Lithic Artifacts

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.
