Semeiochernes armiger ( Balzan, 1892) View in CoL [NEW RECORD]

Chelifer (Trachychernes) armiger Balzan 1892: 527–528 .

Chelifer armiger Balzan : With 1908: 261.

Semeiochernes armiger (Balzan) View in CoL : Beier 1932d: 181–182.

Type locality: Pebas , Loreto, Peru (-3.3224; -71.8617) GoogleMaps .

Distribution: Colombia, Ecuador, Panama, Peru, Trinidad and Tobago and Venezuela.

Distribution in Colombia: Nariño: Tumaco (1.8077; -78.7705).

Repository of Colombian material: ICN-APs-646 (2 ♀).

Remarks: Collection data as in label: 2 masl; 10-ago-2017; William Gavis leg.; phoretic on a Pantophthalmus fly. The association of Semeiochernes with giant flies has been previously recorded ( Zeh and Zeh 1992a). Since Zeh and Zeh (1992b) work on sexual dimorphisms and phenotypic variation, Semeiochernes species are in strong doubt and waiting for a further taxonomic analysis. This record is the first in Colombia of S. armiger and agrees with the distribution of the species recorded from Mexico to Brazil including all Colombia’s neighbor countries ( Christophoryová et al. 2018)
