Family Halophilosciidae Verhoeff, 1908 View in CoL

Remarks

The family Halophilosciidae comprises 34 species distributed in three genera, Halophiloscia Verhoeff, 1908 (9 spp.), Littorophiloscia Hatch, 1947 (22 spp.), and Stenophiloscia Verhoeff, 1908 (3 spp.) (WoRMS 2020c). In Colombia, Pearse (1915) recorded Philoscia culebrae Moore, 1901 [= Littorophiloscia c.] in coffee plantations from Hacienda Cincinati and Hacienda La Rosa, Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta (ca 1400 m a.s.l.), which is considered to be a misidentification by Van Name (1936). Littorophiloscia culebrae (Moore, 1901) is recorded from coastal areas of Angola, Brazil, Canary Islands, Caribbean islands, Florida ( USA), Hawaii, Iraq, Madagascar, Socotra Archipelago and Yemen ( Schmalfuss 2003; Taiti & Ferrara 2004; Araujo & Taiti 2007; Taiti & Lopez 2008; Naser et al. 2015; Lisboa et al. 2017; Campos-Filho et al. 2018). Recent expeditions to the north coast of Bolívar revealed the existence of this species in Colombia, inhabiting the coastal areas of the Barú Peninsula, Cartagena de Indias (C. López-Orozco & Y. Carpio-Díaz, pers. obs.).
