The species is endemic to Bequia, an island in the Grenadines that is part of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines. EtymologyThe specific name, kirbyi, is in honor of Dr. Ian Earle Ayrton Kirby (1921-2006), who was a government veterinarian and naturalist on St. Vincent.[2] DescriptionS. kirbyi reaches a snout-to-vent length (SVL) of {{convert|25|mm|in|abbr=on}}.
