Ceriomura perita ( Peckham & Peckham, 1894)

Omura perita Peckham & Peckham, 1894: 104 , pl. 10, figs. 3, 3a (holotype female from Pumamarco , [Ayacucho], Peru, deposited in MCZ 22614, not examined) .

Ceriomura perita Simon, 1901: 458-459 (nom. praeocc.). Petrunkevitch 1911: 609. Rubio & Baigorria 2016: 1. World Spider Catalog 2017.

Comments. Known only from its type locality in Pumamarco, Ayacucho, in the south-central high Andes of Peru ( Fig. 2 ). Known altitudinal range: about 3000 m above sea level . Male unknown . Unlike the other species placed in Ceriomura , all found in tropical, humid and low forests, C . perita is recorded from a much colder and dryer ecosystem more than 3000 m above sea level. Petrunkevitch (1911: 609) reported the name "Pumamarca" for the type locality of this species. In gazetteers I was able to find two Peruvian locations with this name . The first one is located in the Huancavelica Department (13.9441°S, 74.9836°W) at an altitude of about 3500 m above sea level . The second one is located in the Apurímac Department (14.0330°N, 72.2666°W) at an altitude more than 3900 m above sea level . Both locations are outside of the Ayacucho department .
