Stenosfemuraia pilosa ( González-Sponga, 2005)

Figs 973 , 1064

Synonymy and redescription, see Huber & Arias (2017).

Note

For the junior synonym of this species ( Chichiriviche costanero ) González-Sponga (2011b) reports a second locality in addition to the type locality: Henri Pittier National Park (in the diagnosis of the genus). This national park is indeed home to a species of Stenosfemuraia ( S. cumbre Huber sp. nov.) but we found no Stenosfemuraia from Henri Pittier National Park in the MAGS collection. We conclude that S. pilosa has not been collected in Henri Pittier National Park.
