Description
editThe genus Abria was described by Sørensen, 1932, originally as a subgenus of Cynorta, with the type species Cynorta innominata (Henriksen, 1932). The revised group needs further comparison with other genera to establish their placement within the wider family Cosmetidae.[5]
Species
editThese species belong to the genus Abria:
- Abria innominata (Henriksen, 1932) – Venezuela
- Abria maculabnormis (González-Sponga, 1992) – Venezuela
- Abria reticulata (Roewer, 1947) – Venezuela
Etymology
