A new species, Bituberochernes jonensis, from St. John, U.S. Virgin Islands, is described. It has a protuberance only on the palpal chela, and none on the tibia. The generic diagnosis is revised to reflect this and other differences. This article specifically mentions the occurrence of species on St. John.
