Notes
This genus currently contains three species: the type species C. diluta (Gertsch & Mulaik, 1941) from Texas, USA; C. baja ( Gertsch, 1982) from Baja California, Mexico; and the recently described C. caquetio Huber, 2019 , previously known from Curaçao and Aruba only. The last species is here newly documented for mainland South America. This is the only known indigenous member of Arteminae in Venezuela . Other Arteminae in Venezuela are introduced [ Artema atlanta Walckenaer, 1837 ; Physocyclus globosus (Taczanowski, 1874) ]. Together with the Chilean genus Aucana Huber, 2000 (whose position in Arteminae needs to be confirmed) it is the only indigenous member of Arteminae known in all of South America.
