Notes

In Venezuela , C. lyoni is common in buildings and has been recorded from numerous localities (Fig. 1039) in the states Amazonas, Aragua, Bolívar, Capital, Falcón, Lara, Sucre, and Zulia (GonzálezSponga 2006, under various names – see Huber 2009; Colmenares 2008).

González-Sponga (2006) described five species in his new genus Tibiosa González-Sponga, 2006 that were all synonymized with Crossopriza lyoni without seeing the types (Huber 2009). The types of Tibiosa casanaimensis González-Sponga, 2006 (MAGS 1314) seem to be lost. Our reexamination of all other types confirmed the synonymies. As usual, González-Sponga did not separate the holotypes from the paratypes if originating from the same locality, so they are here simply treated as ‘types’ (except for T. caracensis and T. moraensis , each with only one male specimen).

MIZA 105741 ( MAGS 1286 ), ♂ holotype; and MIZA 105706 ( MAGS 1379 ), 3 ♂♂, 5 ♀♀, 5 juvs paratypes of Tibiosa caracensis González-Sponga, 2006 from Caracas (holotype: Edif. Aloa, Urb. Horizonte [10.4945° N, 66.8155° W]; GoogleMaps paratypes: Edif. Turpial, Terrazas del Ávila [10.501° N, 66.792° W]). GoogleMaps

MIZA 105705 ( MAGS 1303 ), 2 ♂♂, 1 ♀, 2 juvs types of Tibiosa guayanesa González-Sponga, 2006 from Bolívar, Los Pijiguaos [6.570° N, 66.810° W]. GoogleMaps
