Tachygerris
Drake, 1957
(4 species)
Comments:
Champion (1898)
affirmed seeing
two female
specimens from PE that appeared to belong to
T. quadrilineatus
(
Champion, 1898
)
. This is the only record of the species from
Brazil
, and here is considered erroneous, probably corresponding to some of the other species reported for the country.
Drake and Harris (1934)
recorded the species from
Paraguay
, which is also a very suspicious record, and not considered valid here.
Drake and Harris (1934)
probably mistakenly mentioned
Paraguay
instead of
Panama
, a country where the occurrence of the species is expected, considering its known distribution from
Mexico
to
Costa Rica
.
