Boa Confusion: Haitian/DRMB

Could someone please explain these names?
Epicrates striatus
Chilabothrus striatus
Haitian boa
DRMB

Are these the same animal with different names?
Are these closely related, but different boas?
I see all of these names in ads, but I don’t understand the distinctions.

Epicrates striatus is the previous taxonomic name, Chilabothrus striatus is the current. Haitian boa is a common name. DRMB, or the Dominican Red Mountain Boa is a subspecies, Chilabothrus striatus striatus.
