Treatment

Ibotyporanga Mello-Leit View in CoL View at ENA ṳo, 1944

Notes

Ibotyporanga View in CoL previously included four species, all of them endemic to Brazil ( Huber 2000; Huber & Brescovit 2003). Unpublished material in collections suggests that the genus is species-rich and widespread in South America, ranging from Paraguay to northern Colombia (B.A. Huber, L.S. Carvalho, unpublished data).

The material available to us suggests that at least two species occur in Venezuela. One of them is formally described below. The second species is not formally described because no males are available. The shape of the epigynum and the internal female genitalia ( Figs 197–199 View Figs 194–199 ) suggest that the following specimens are not conspecific with I. bariro Huber View in CoL sp. nov.: 2 juveniles, ZFMK (Ar 21861) and 1 ♀, 1 juv. in pure ethanol, ZFMK (Ven18-182) (female abdomen transferred to ZFMK Ar 21861), from Falcón, Península de Paraguaná, near Cueva del Guano (11.9026° N, 69.9456° W), under pieces of wood on ground in arid vegetation, 140 m a.s.l., 16 Nov. 2018 (B.A. Huber, O. Villarreal M.).
