Criodion tuberculatum

.
Although the pronotal sculpturing and shape of the elytral apex with two spines in
C. tuberculatum
allow easily recognizing the species, we are taking the opportunity to illustrate a
syntype
for the first time.
Martins and Monné (2005)
commented that males of
C. tuberculatum
were similar to those of
C. rhinoceros
Bates, 1870
, but cannot be confused due to the mandibles without a distinct dorsal projection, which is present in
C
.
rhinoceros
, especially in large males.
Gahan (1892)
reported: “
Hab
.
Peru
, Sarayacu; and (?) Cayenne.” According to
Martins and Monné (2005)
(translated): “The original localities, “
Peru
, Sarayacu; and (?) Cayenne” (
Gahan, 1892: 26
), encloses a misunderstanding because Sarayacu is located in
Ecuador
, and the hitherto dubious occurrence in Cayenne was recently confirmed (Tavakilian
in
Hequet, 1996).” However, this information about Sarayacu is wrong. Sarayacu is placed in the region of
Loreto
, province of
Ucayali
in
Peru
. It is true that there is a place in
Ecuador
named Sarayacu in the province of
Pastaza
. But there is no reason to suppose that the information on the original description was a mistake. Therefore, one of the
type
localities is restored to
Peru
.
