Notes on presence status	Although it is certainly possible that Methia necydalea is present on Saba, the particular record is probably a typographic error of Touroult (2012) and, without availability of a voucher, Colijn et al.(2020) have their doubts. Noted as Methia cf. necydalea by Vorst et al. (2025).
