Lachnopus [genus] (4)
sp. [species]

Girón et al. (2018) recently published an annotated checklist of this genus. They could not resolve the so-called ‘curvipes conflict’, i.e. the fact that the variation in characters of Lachnopus curvipes (Fabricius, 1787b: 113), including the male genitalia, can overlap with those of L. valgus. According to Girón et al. (2018) L. villosipes may also be included in this conflict and a full revision would likely split the genus and synonymise several of the known taxa. As such, two St. Eustatius specimens are listed provisionally here as Lachnopus species.
