A taxonomic revision of the Chilean genus Homoeomma Ausserer, 1871 (Araneae; Homoeommaidae) with the description of four new species.
Abstract
The diversity and distribution of the genus Homoeomma Ausserer, 1871 in Chile has been updated. Four new species are described: H. toriyamai sp. nov. (♂♀) and H. minimum sp. nov. (♂♀) from the Metropolitan Region, and H. poqui sp. nov. (♂♀) from the Libertador General Bernardo O’Higgins Region.
A new species, H. espinozai (male), was discovered from La Araucanía. New distribution records were provided for H. chilense and H. orellanai. Finally, a species identification key and distribution map for the Chilean genus Homoeomma are presented.
