Geographic Distribution: Little Cayman, Cayman Islands.

Type Locality: West end of Little Cayman, Cayman Islands

West end of Little Cayman, Cayman Islands, near intersection of two paths.  Maynard (1889a: 28) noted "the Dwarf Strophias [Strophia nana] occur in a space which is only five or six yards wide by twenty long….. I consider that this species has the most restricted range of any animal with which I am aquainted."

Clench (1964:373, pl. 63, fig. 14) designated and figured as lectotype MCZ 246737. The other syntype became a paralectotype. The remaining 1,998 specimens have no status as types (Harasewych et al., 2007:380).
