Biology:Abria

From HandWiki

Abria is a genus of harvestmen in the family Cosmetidae with three described species (as of early 2024).[1][2] All species are from Venezuela.[1][3][4] An overview of the taxonomy was provided by Villarreal, Medrano & Kury (2023)[5]

Description

The genus Abria was described by Sørensen, 1932, originally as a subgenus of Cynorta, with the type species Cynorta innominata (Henriksen, 1932). The revised group needs further comparison with other genera to establish their placement within the wider family Cosmetidae.[5]

  • Abria innominata (Henriksen, 1932) – Venezuela
  • Abria maculabnormis (González-Sponga, 1992) – Venezuela
  • Abria reticulata (Roewer, 1947) – Venezuela
