Artiotonus sp.

Comments. the genus Artiotonus occurs in the Biogeographic Chocó, from Valle del Cauca (Colombia) to Esmeraldas province (Northern Ecuador). The species here studied looks similar to Artiotonus tinae Montealegre-Z et al., 2011; but it differs in the pronotum shape and the dorsal midline that goes through the dorsal margin from the fastigium apex is more noticeable than in the species previously described. The shape of the cerci and subgenital plate styli also do not fit any of the three know described species in the genus Artiotonus Montealegre-Z et al., 2011. The authors abstain to describe this as a new species due to poor conditions of the specimen preservation.
