Coryssocnemis Simon, 1893

Notes

Coryssocnemis now includes seven species from Venezuela and Trinidad (including the Venezuelan type species C. callaica Simon, 1893 ), five species from Mexico and Central America, and three species from Brazil (Rio de Janeiro). However, all species except those from Venezuela and Trinidad are certainly or very likely misplaced ( Huber 2000: 344). Coryssocnemis is thus currently endemic to Venezuela (Coastal Ranges) and Trinidad. Judging from its known distribution (Fig. 1037), it is not likely to range into Guyana, Brazil, or Colombia. All five Venezuelan species are treated below.
