Endemic reptiles include the Dominican Anole Anolis oculatus (CalPhotos) and the Dominican Ground Lizard Ameiva fuscata (Wikipedia). The Dominica Racer Alsophis sibonius (BioLib) has recently been elevated to a full species (Zootaxa pdf file).  The Dominica Boa Boa nebulosa (caribherp) and the Dominica Blindsnake Typhlops dominicanus (p. 14 of IRCF 3 MB pdf file) are both sometimes considered full species unique to Dominica.

The Dominican Whistling Frog Eleutherodactylus amplinympha (ARKive) is also unique to the island.

There are 62 endemic beetle species (Univ. Nebraska pdf file) including a tortoise beetle Cephaloleia simplex (Bio-Nica pdf file), a weevil Peridinetus lateropicta (p. 3 of Zootaxa pdf file), and the longhorned beetles Neseuterpia deknuydti (Lamiaires du Monde) and Anisopodus dominicensis (Smithsonian). Other endemic insects include a stick insect Sermyle kirbyi (Phasmida), a grasshopper Nesophyllidium fulvicosta (Mel J.

Dominica is part of the Caribbean Islands biodiversity hotspot (Biodiversity Hotspots). More information on the natural history of Dominica can be found in Dominica’s Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan (CBD pdf file).
