Abstract

FERNANDEZ GIL, Patrick  and  CASTRO, María Renée. The Latrodectus Walckenaer, 1805 Genus in Bolivia (Araneae: Theridiidae). J. Selva Andina Res. Soc. [online]. 2013, vol.4, n.2, pp.57-63. ISSN 2072-9294.

Through examination of specimens collected in 12 locations confirmed the presence of the genus Latrodectus distinguishing six morphotypes in six departments and four ecoregions of Bolivia. The results imply that there is a risk of accidents caused by the bite of these spiders.

Keywords : Araneae; Latrodectus; Morphotypes; Bolivia; Distribution.
