Federal (3), Barinas, (2), Miranda (1), and Carabobo (1). were made in every month January, March, and September, with the majority in May (9), June (13), and July (16). Remarks: Of the four species assigned to this subgroup, P. vargasi is the most dissimilar in relation to the other three. In addition to the large, long, dorsal podosomal setae; this species may be distinguished from the female of other species by the slender, setaceous, recurved pos- teroventral setae of the femur, patella, and tibia of leg IV; by the ornamentation of the dorsal plate; and by the irregular shape of the sclero- tized part of the sternal plate. In the male of P. vargasi, the intercoxa IV area bears nine pairs of setae (rather than seven or eight pairs as in the other tliree species). This species is re- corded primarily from species of Anottra in Ven- ezuela. Subgroup B The two species of this subgroup (P. hopkinsi and P. herrerai) may be distinguished by the larger size of the proximal anterodorsal seta of each femur I, patella I, tibia I, and the antero- dorsal seta of tibia II and by the distance be- tween the first and second dorsal podosomal setae being equal to or less than the distance between the second and tiiird setae. However, in many phenetic characters, these two species are rather dissimilar. This is in agreement with host-parasite associations: P. Jwpkinsi is re- corded primarily from Lioni/cteris spurrelli (family Phyllostomidae, subfamily Glossophagi- nae) and P. herrerai parasitizes Desmodus ro- tundtis (subfamily Desmodontinae).
