Lathrolestes scutellatus

)
stat. rev.

This species was synonymized with
Lathrolestes luteolator
(Gravenhorst, 1829)
by
Barron (1994)
i.q.
Homalomma eriocampoides
Rohwer, 1915
and
H. caliroae
Rohwer, 1915
.
The
holotype
specimens of these species are similar to that of European
L. luteolator
(Gravenhorst, 1829)
but differ from the latter by the sculpture and punctation of the mesopleuron. Specimens of
L. scutellatus
(
Ashmead, 1890
)
from AEI and CNC show variation in sculpture and punctation of the mesopleuron and coloration but nevertheless individuals of
L. scutellatus
(
Ashmead, 1890
)
never have shiny smooth surface of mesopleuron and deep distinct punctures.
L. scutellatus
(
Ashmead, 1890
)
stat. nov.
reestablished here as a valid species.
