Artema Walckenaer, 1837

Notes

In the New World, the genus Artema is only represented by its type species, the synanthropic, pantropical A. atlanta Walckenaer, 1837 ( Aharon et al. 2017). In Venezuela , the species has been recorded only twice (Fig. 1038): from Falcón, El Recreo [11.350° N, 69.814° W] ( González-Sponga 2005, as Coroia magna González-Sponga, 2005 ), approximately 10 ♂♂, 12 ♀♀, 10 juvs types of Coroia magna, MIZA 105732 ( MAGS 1440), Mar. 1999 (E. Bravo), examined; and from Zulia, Maracaibo [10.80° N, 71.73° W] ( Colmenares 2008), 1 ♂, 1 ♀, MBLUZ, not examined. The female paratype of Tibiosa coreana González-Sponga, 2005 (= Crossopriza lyoni ) illustrated in González-Sponga (2005) is also A. atlanta (as already noted in Huber 2009), but this material does not represent an additional record (the types of Tibiosa coreana also originate from El Recreo, but were collected earlier than the types of Coroia magna, in Sep. 1996 ).
