Priocera diverselutea
PIC, 1936: 15
.
LECTOTYPE
:
Gender
not known.
Here
designated. Type locality:
Colombie
(
MNHN
).
CORPORAAL 1950
: 99
. It is not known how many specimens were available to Pic. He did not select a
holotype
, therefore, I invoke Recommendation 73F of the ICZN (1999) and designate a
lectotype
for this nominal species.
D i a g n o s i s: The stout spine at the apex of the prothoracic tibia will distinguish the members of this species.
R e d e s c r i p t i o n: Size: Length 22.0 mm; width 6.0 mm. Form: As in
Fig. 128
. Head: Frons wider than length of antennal pedicel; EW/FW 95/55. Thorax: Pronotum finely punctate, with 2 tumescenses (PW/PL 240/315); elytral disc sculptured with circular, asetiferous punctures that are not seriate, they extend slightly beyond elytral 1/2, elytral apex bispinous (EL/EW 1,020 /200); prothoracic tibial apex with stout spine; metathoracic femur gradually increasing in diameter to femoral apex. Abdomen: Aedeagus as in
Fig. 42.
V a r i a t i o n: The available specimens are quite homogeneous.
D i s t r i b u t i o n (
Fig. 89
): In addition to the
lectotype
, I examined
2 specimens
from:
Colombia
: No other information available. Specimens are deposited in MNHN and WOPC.
N o t e s: The
lectotype
was examined, but the description is based on a homotype specimen.
