Coryssocnemis
Simon, 1893
Notes
Coryssocnemis
now includes seven species from
Venezuela
and
Trinidad
(including the Venezuelan
type
species
C. callaica
Simon, 1893
), five species from
Mexico
and Central America, and three species from
Brazil
(
Rio de Janeiro
). However, all species except those from
Venezuela
and
Trinidad
are certainly or very likely misplaced (
Huber 2000: 344
).
Coryssocnemis
is thus currently endemic to
Venezuela
(Coastal Ranges) and
Trinidad
. Judging from its known distribution (Fig. 1037), it is
not
likely to range into
Guyana
,
Brazil
, or
Colombia
. All five Venezuelan species are treated below.
