Danielocandona lieshoutae Broodbakker 1983d

Danielocandona lieshoutae — Broodbakker 1983d: 318–323, fig. 13, 14; D. lieshoutae — Karanovic 2012: 278, fig. 63G, 67D.

Type locality: S 1982/557, open well of Nancy de Venega , in the vicinity of quarter “Misión Abajo” (emend., not “Misión”), Calabozo, GUÁRICO State (08º55’17” N, 67º27’00” W). Holotype (1♀)— ZMA, Ost.150.792.

In Venezuela: corresponds to the type locality .

Remarks: D. lieshoutae is an endemic stygobiont genus and species found only in Venezuela ( Karanovic 2012). This species was collected in the central region of the country. It corresponds to the Venezuelan mainland, therefore the geographical distribution indicated in Martens & Behen (1994) and Karanovic & Datry (2009) is incorrect. Based on the work of Broodbakker (1983d), the species has been erroneously associated with the West Indies Islands, a region where it does not occur. An amendment is made to the type locality provided for Venezuela in Broodbakker (1983d): the area from which the sample S 1982/557 was obtained is currently located north of Misión Abajo and Carraquelero quarters. This species is cited in Galán & Herrera’s (2006) review of the cave fauna of Venezuela.
