PRIMER REGISTRO DEL GÉNERO Descanso Peckham & Peckham, 1892 (ARANEAE: SALTICIDAE: DENDRYPHANTINI) EN EL CARIBE COLOMBIANO

FIRST RECORD OF THE GENUS Descanso Peckham & Peckham, 1892 (ARANEAE: SALTICIDAE: DENDRYPHANTINI) IN THE COLOMBIAN CARIBBEAN

This article documents, for the first time, the presence of the genus Descanso Peckham & Peckham, 1892 in the Colombian Caribbean. The record is based on specimens collected in a fragment of tropical dry forest in the rural area of Purísima, Córdoba Department, through vegetation beating and daytime direct collection. Additionally, we provide photographs of the specimens, images of male pedipalps, and a distribution map featuring both new and previously published records. This finding constitutes a significant contribution to the knowledge of jumping spider fauna of the Colombian Caribbean region.
