Note This species was described from a single male specimen from Venezuela , Monagas , “ 27 km SW Caripe” [approximately 10.08° N , 63.63° W ]. The new material listed below was included in a vial with numerous paratypes of Carupania tarsocurvipes González-Sponga, 2003 (= Coryssocnemis t .; see above). The specimens in that vial originate from two neighboring localities ~ 100 km NE of the type locality of C. monagas : Playa Pui Pui and Playa Medina. It is unclear if both species were found at both localities, or if each species was found at only one of the two places.

[ 10.698° N , 62.968° W ] and Playa Medina [ 10.715° N , 63.010° W ] (“Playa Puipui y Playa Medina”), at sea level, 7 Jan. 1999 ( A.R. Delgado, M . García, M.A . González S. , M.A. González D. ). Description of female In general similar to male but femora without spines. Tibia 1 in five females: 3.9–5.1 (mean 4.6). Epigynum ( Fig. 169 ) anterior half light brown plate, posterior half whitish with pair of internal structures visible through cuticle, posterior margin heavily sclerotized protruding rim with pair of shallow pockets; posterior plate short and narrow. Internal genitalia ( Figs 165 , 170–171 ) with sclerotized arc; pore plates in vertical position. Distribution Known from the Venezuelan states Monagas and Sucre (Fig. 1037).
