Remarks.
The
type
material of
Paraphasma fasciatum
is likely to be lost (
Brock
et al
. 2022
). Only a brief and superficial description was presented by
Gray (1835)
and the collecting locality mentioned for the species is vague (“Brasiliâ” =
Brazil
). For these reasons, the identity of
P. fasciatum
can only be clarified if the
type
is found and it is considered a
nomen dubium
[for more details, see
Chiquetto-Machado & Cancello (2021)
].
