Notes: Data sources (literature, online sources, images) are listed in Table 2. Deep species are those exclusively or typically found below 40 m depth. Uncommon shallow species are those found at 1–3 sites by CJE, AME, LR, and third-party photographers as indicated in Table 2. Ichthyocide collection: recorded as being collected with rotenone by a source cited by Dennis (2000). Ichthyocide only: the only collection method listed for a species from St. John-Thomas by Dennis (2000). DNA barcodes: (see Suppl. material 7: File S6). The single DNA Barcoded species collected at St. Croix (see Suppl. material 7: File S6) is not known from St. John-Thomas. The St. John-Thomas species count includes four identified only to genus. DNA barcode data for Pteroisvolitans are not included in this table.
