Two new whip spider species of the genus Charinus Simon, 1892, are described based on seven specimens collected in Guadeloupe (Grande-Terre) and three specimens collected in northern Martinique. The new taxa described here, Charinus grandisterrae n. sp. and C. marechali n. sp., raise the number of currently recognized species for the genus Charinus to 102 and the number of known species occurring in the Lesser Antilles to seven, confirming again that this genus is more widespread across Lesser Antilles than originally suspected. A map of the geographical distribution of the Lesser Antillean Charinus species is presented and a key for their identification is provided. Emended diagnosis is also provided for Charinus martinicensis Teruel & Coulis, 2017, based on additional material.
