Stenosfemuraia cuadrata
González-Sponga, 2005
Figs 972
, 1064
Synonymy and redescription, see
Huber & Arias (2017)
.
Notes
Previously published coordinates of the
type
locality Hacienda
Limón
(
González-Sponga 2005
;
Huber & Arias 2017
) were wrong. We assume that the true collecting site was at approximately
10.475° N
,
67.283° W
. Our new site below is at a higher elevation and approximately
3.7 km
SE of the
type
locality.
González-Sponga’s (2005)
record of
S. cuadrata
from Galipán (El Ávila National Park) is probably based on 1 ♂,
1 ♀
, MIZA 105577 (MAGS 1422). However, the specimens in this vial are
S. parva
González-Sponga, 1998
(see below). The only other
Stenosfemuraia
specimens from Galipán in the MAGS collection are also
S. parva
(and correctly identified as such by González-Sponga): 3 ♂♂,
2 ♀♀
, MIZA 105674 (MAGS 1172) (see under
S. parva
below). Since there are no unambiguous records of
S. cuadrata
from El Ávila National Park, we consider
González-Sponga’s (2005)
record as erroneous.
Figs 969–971.

. Male ocular area, clypeus, and chelicerae, oblique frontal view.
