Morphological variation in a series of 30 specimens of Monophyllus redmani representing the first records of this species from the Bahamas was examined. Comparisons were made between specimens from all parts of the known range of this species; M.redmani of the Bahamas appears morphologically closest to the Cuban-Hispaniolan segment of the population. Divergence between two separate population segments of M. redmani within the southern Bahamas corroborates evidence from other sources that the islands and banks in the Bahamas south of the Crooked Island Passage have had a relatively long history of isolation from each other.
