In Venezuela , it has been collected at numerous localities in the states Bolívar , Falcón , Mérida , Nueva Esparta , Sucre , Táchira , and Zulia ( González-Sponga 2004 , under various names – see Huber 2009; Colmenares 2008 ; Huber 2011; below; Fig. 1055). González-Sponga (2004) described four species in his new genus Mariguitaia that were all synonymized with Micropholcus fauroti without seeing the types (Huber 2009). Our reexamination of all types in Nov. 2018 confirmed these synonymies. As usual, González-Sponga did not separate the holotype from the paratypes if originating from the same locality, so they are here simply treated as ‘types’ (except for Mariguitaia museorum and M. sucrensis , each with only one male specimen). MIZA 105783 (MAGS 1302), 3 ♂♂, 3 ♀♀ , types of Mariguitaia divergentis González-Sponga, 2004 from Bolívar , Los Pijiguaos [ 6.570° N , 66.810° W ].
