Artema
Walckenaer, 1837
Notes
In the New World, the genus
Artema
is only represented by its type species, the synanthropic, pantropical
A. atlanta
Walckenaer, 1837
(
Aharon
et al.
2017
). In
Venezuela
, the species has been recorded only twice (Fig. 1038): from
Falcón
, El Recreo [
11.350° N
,
69.814° W
] (
González-Sponga 2005
, as
Coroia magna
González-Sponga, 2005
), approximately 10 ♂♂,
12 ♀♀
, 10 juvs types of
Coroia magna
, MIZA
105732 (
MAGS
1440),
Mar. 1999
(E. Bravo), examined; and from
Zulia
, Maracaibo [
10.80° N
,
71.73° W
] (
Colmenares 2008
), 1 ♂,
1 ♀
,
MBLUZ
,
not
examined. The female
paratype
of
Tibiosa coreana
González-Sponga, 2005
(=
Crossopriza lyoni
) illustrated in
González-Sponga (2005)
is also
A. atlanta
(as already noted in Huber 2009), but this material does
not
represent an additional record (the types of
Tibiosa coreana
also originate from El Recreo, but were collected earlier than the types of
Coroia magna
, in Sep. 1996
).
