Abstract

The genus Heterophrynus is for the first time recorded from Transandean areas. Heterophrynus boterorum sp. nov. and Heterophrynus silviae sp. nov. are described respectively from Tolima and Valle del Cauca departments, Colombia, based on material from the 2006 Arachnological Expedition of Museu Nacional to Colombia. Heterophrynus nicefori Amado & Morales, 1986, from Meta department is newly considered a junior subjective synonym of Phrynus batesii Butler, 1873 (currently in Heterophrynus). Heterophrynus is currently known from Amazon forest, Brazilian Cerrado, Littoral Ridge of Venezuela and Andean forests. A revised terminology is proposed for the constituent parts of male and female gonopods of Heterophrynus.

Resumo

Este é o primeiro registro transandino do gênero Heterophrynus. Heterophrynus boterorum sp. nov. e Heterophrynus silviae sp. nov. são descritos respectivamente dos departamentos de Tolima e Valle del Cauca, baseado em material da Expedição Aracnológica do Museu Nacional à Colômbia. Heterophrynus nicefori, do departamento de Meta é considerado sinônimo júnior subjetivo de Phrynus batesii Butler, 1873 (atualmente em Heterophrynus). Heterophrynus é conhecido atualmente de floresta amazônica, cerrado brasileiro, Cordilheira Costeira da Venezuela e florestas andinas. Uma nova terminologia é proposta para as partes constituintes dos gonópodos masculino e feminino de Heterophrynus.
