Cangrejos dulceacuícolas de las tierras altas de la Guayana venezolana
Palabras clave:
biogeografía, cangrejos dulceacuícolas, ciclo de taxones, distribución insular, Microthelphusa, Neotrópico, tepuyes
Resumen
Los cangrejos de agua dulce neotropicales tienen un amplio rango de distribución desde el sur de México hasta Perú, incluida toda la cuenca del Amazonas y las Guayanas. Entre ellos, las especies de grandes altitudes del género Microthel-phusa Pretzmann, 1968, tienen una biogeografía muy peculiar. Su distribución es insular y discontinua, presentando una separación considerable entre ellos. Doce especies se encuentran al sur del río Orinoco, de las cuales seis se encuentran en la Guayana venezolana, y de estas, cinco son endémicas del altiplano de los tepuyes. En este artículo intento explicar la distribución de las especies de Microthelphusa y su presencia en las elevaciones superiores de los tepuyes.
