Name

• Chimarra inchoata Blahnik & Holzenthal, 2012: figs. 3A–G, 10

Holotype: UMSP (UMSP000026863), ♂.

Type locality: VENEZUELA: Sucre: Península de Paria, Puerto Viejo, Río Puerto Viejo, 10°43.137'N, 62°28.743'W, 15 m, 2.iv.1995, Holzenthal, Flint, Cressa.

Etymology: This species is named Chimarra inchoata from the Latin word incohatus (or inchoatus), meaning only begun, incipient, or incomplete, and referring to the development of the lateral lobes of tergum X in this species, which are only suggestively sclerotized as compared to the strongly sclerotized, hooked processes in Chimarra creagra and Chimarra paracreagra.
