Abstract

A new species in the genus Anotia Kirby, 1821 was collected in a malaise trap during a recent collecting event on Bonaire, Dutch Antilles. A single female of the same species, collected at light on Curaçao in 1957, was found in the collection of the Naturalis Biodiversity Center. Here Anotia posa sp. nov. is described and molecular data for the barcoding region (5’ half) of the cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI), 18S rRNA gene and D9–D10 expansion region of the 28S rRNA gene is provided. Some records of a second undescribed Anotia from Curaçao are included.
