Gerald Handerson Thayer (1883–1939) was an artist, writer and naturalist who worked in North and South America, Europe and the West Indies. In the Lesser Antilles, Thayer made substantial contributions to the knowledge and conservation of birds in St Vincent and the Grenadines. Thayer observed and collected birds throughout much of St Vincent and on many of the Grenadines from January 1924 through to December 1925. Although he produced a preliminary manuscript containing interesting distributional notes and which is an early record of the region's ornithology, Thayer never published the results of his work in the islands. Some 413 bird and bird egg specimens have survived from his work in St Vincent and the Grenadines and are now housed in the American Museum of Natural History (New York City) and the Museum of Comparative Zoology (Cambridge, Massachusetts). Four hundred and fifty eight specimens of birds and eggs collected by Gerald and his father, Abbott, from other countries are held in museums in the United States.

Distribution Maps

Two genera and nine species of Peridinetini are recognised in the West Indies; four of the species are newly described. Peridinetus Schönherr is represented in the Greater Antilles by P. concentricus (Olivier), P. decipiens Prena sp. n., P. fuscosignum Prena sp. n., P. poeyi Jacquelin du Val stat. res., P. roeselii (Boheman) and P. sexguttatus (Fabricius) comb. n. and Palliolatrix Prena in the Lesser Antilles by P. insignis (Chevrolat), P. lateropicta Prena sp. n. and P. silacea Prena sp. n. Ephimerus Schönherr is synonymised with Peridinetus (syn. n.). The overlooked synonymy of Peridinetus signatus Rosenschöld with P. concentricus is reinstated. Habitus images, distribution maps and a key for identification are provided.

Abstract Lepidagathis alopecuroidea is a small perennial herb with a pantropical distribution, not reported as invasive in any of its current range. Although the species is not reported as present in the Pacific Islands, it is considered a threat at high altitudes (PIER, 2020). Oviedo Prieto et al. (2012) list L. alopecuroidea as potentially invasive, including it in the category of species naturalised in some areas with a tendency to proliferate. It is also considered as a potential invasive species for the Lesser Antilles by Meyer and Lavergne (2004) despite most references listing the West Indies as part of its native distribution (Acevedo-Rodríguez and Strong, 2012).
