Heniartes erythromerus
Spinola, 1837
Although several specimens were here identified as
H. erythromerus
following
Wygodzinsky (1947a)
, it is possible that more than one species is involved. External morphology and color pattern agree well with the description of this species. However, the male genitalia of one of the male specimens examined (from ‘Santa Maria’ [UNCB]) are more similar to that of
H. lopesi
Wygodzinsky, 1947
, than those of
H. erythromerus
as illustrated by
Wygodzinsky (1947a)
. More specimens are required in order to clarify this situation.
H. erythromerus
has been recorded from
Argentina
,
Bolivia
,
Brazil
,
Paraguay
, and
French Guiana
(
Wygodzinsky 1959
;
Maldonado 1990
); the specimens listed below represent a new record from
