Notes
González-Sponga (2010)
was the first since
Simon (1893a
,
1893b
) to report new records for this species. He cited material from six localities. We reexamined this material but only one of the vials was found to contain
C. callaica
: 1 ♂,
1 ♀
,
1 juv.
, MIZA 105758 (MAGS 1375), La Venta,
1500 m
a.s.l.,
12 Oct. 1992
(E. González S., E. González L., M.A. González S.). All other vials contain
C. guatopo
Huber, 2000
(see below for details). It is
not
clear on which specimens the illustrations in
González-Sponga (2010)
are based, but they represent
C. guatopo
and
not
C. callaica
. One additional female specimen was found in a vial together with
Priscula salmeronica
González-Sponga, 1999:
1
♀, MIZA 105665 (separated from MAGS 1166), Quebrada Quintero, El Ávila National Park,
19 Aug. 1989
(A.R. Delgado, E. González S., M.A. González S.).
Coryssocnemis callaica
is thus currently known from three neighboring localities in El Ávila National Park (Fig. 1037):
The
type
locality “Corosal”, which is presumably along the old road between Caracas and the coast [approximately 10.56–
10.57° N
,
66.96° W
].
La Venta, maybe less than
1 km
from the
type
locality, presumably at approximately
10.554° N
,
66.960° W
. Both Corosal and La Venta appear to be slightly north of the border between
Distrito Capital
and La
Guaira
, i.e., in the state of La
Guaira
. Both localities were inaccessible to us due to security reasons.
Quebrada Quintero [
10.517° N
,
66.852° W
] in the state of
Miranda
.
