Potamophilops Grouvelle 1896

Potamophilops has been recorded from as far south as northern Argentina, Mato Grosso and São Paulo States, Brazil (Spangler and Santiago-Fragoso 1987; Vanin and Costa 2011), and Paraguay (USNM, pers. obs.) (Potamophilops cinereus), and from as far north as Taquaruçú, Tocantins state, Brazil (Potamophilops bragaorum Fernandes & Hamada, 2012). Here I report the first records of Potamophilops from Venezuela (Fig. 1).
