Pemona Huber, 2019

Note

Pemona is a monotypic genus and the type species P. sapo Huber, 2019 is only known from its type locality, Canaima in the Venezuelan state Bolívar (Huber & Carvalho 2019; Fig. 1040). Pemona was previously the only known representative of Ninetinae in Venezuela . We have no new data about this genus, except that it is apparently not closely related to the other Venezuelan Ninetinae described herein ( Galapa spiniphila Huber sp. nov.; Ibotyporanga bariro Huber sp. nov.). Neither morphology nor our preliminary molecular data suggest a close relationship between Pemona, Galapa, and Ibotyporanga, but the sister groups remain unknown for all three genera.
