Dendropaemon convexus

Dendropaemon convexus (Harold, 1869) Erroneous literature records for Venezuela Blackwelder 1944: 211 (cited as Eurypodea convexus). — Vulcano & Pereira 1967: 566 (cited as Tetramereia convexa). — Arnaud 2002b: 16 (cited as Tetramereia convexa, Venezuela: Suapure). — Noriega et al. 2008: 132 (cited as Tetramereia convexa, Venezuela: Bolívar: Suapure). Actual distribution Brazil and Bolivia (Génier & Arnaud 2016). Remarks For more than a century, specimens from many parts of South America were identified both in collections and in the literature as Tetramereia convexa (see compilation in Ampudia Gatty et al. 2012). Génier & Arnaud (2016), however, argued that they actually refer to at least two different species, both belonging to Dendropaemon, D. convexus, from central Brazil and Bolivia, and D. fredericki (Klages, 1906), from the Amazon. Only the latter is present in Venezuela; the references reporting Tetramereia convexa (and other combinations) for the country all refer to it.
