Presence

Presence status Incorrectly reported (3b)
Notes on presence status Based on a recent paper on the genus Parvimysis we can conclude that this species is incorrectly reported from Bonaire and Curaçao. There are two new species described from Bonaire and Curaçao, which likely belong to this record from Brattegard (1975). Wittmann (2020) includes the note that in the literature there are many misidentifications and research is necessary to correct these.
