§ Dendropaemon (Eurypodea) convexus ( Harold, 1869)

Dendropemon convexus Harold 1869a: 99 ( Brazil - NEOTYPE)

Distribution. Brazil: Harold 1869a: 99 (as Dendropemon convexus ); Gillet 1911b: 88 (as Dendropemon convexus ); Olsoufieff 1924: 159 (as Boucomontius convexus ); Blut 1939: 296 (as Boucomontius convexus ); Blackwelder 1944: 211 (as Eurypodea convexus ); Vaz-de-Mello 2000: 195 (as Tetramereia convexa ); Noriega et al. 2008: 133 (as Tetramereia convexa ); Gatty et al. 2012: 1 (as Tetramereia convexa ); Génier and Arnaud 2016: 43 (designation NEOTYPE Dendropaemon convexus ). Other: Génier and Arnaud 2016: 43 (Bolivia).

Note. Until the revision of Dendropaemon by Génier and Arnaud (2016), the species D. fredericki was mostly considered a synonym of D. convexa . Based on Génier and Arnaud (2016), the distribution of D. convexa appears to be limited to southern Brazil and Bolivia, with records from the Guianas, northern Brazil and Venezuela concerning D. fredericki . We have divided the records we have found in the literature accordingly. The literature records of D. convexus for French Guiana, Venezuela and other areas in northern South America are in this checklist thus found under D. fredericki .
