Abstract
ABSTRACTData from well-studied taxa are used together with explicit assumptions and estimates of the world fauna to estimate the number of insect species in Trinidad and Tobago. The median estimate of the world fauna is 4.8 million, while the median estimate of Trinidad and Tobago’s share in the world fauna is 4.8%. Accordingly, it is estimated within broad confidence limits that Trinidad and Tobago harbour 230,400 species. The approach used allows for a refinement of this estimate as new or better data become available.
