Brontostoma sanguinosum
(
Stål, 1872
)
In his redescription of the female
holotype
of this species,
Wygodzinsky (1951)
stated that the
holotype
was labeled as “Bogotá/Lindig/sanguinosus/
Typus
/149.”
As
in other species collected by Lindig, Bogotá is probably not the real locality but the place from which the specimens were shipped to Europe. This is argued given the fact that this species has not been found above 1500 meters, while Bogotá is at 2600 meters. Lindig collected plants and insects in
Colombia
between
18591863
, including many lowland areas (
Horn & Kahle 1935
;
Barnhart 1965
;
Hertel & Schreiber 1988
). Furthermore, around the same period of time a similar situation ocurred with bird skins labeled as “Bogotá,” which it was just the shipping denomination for the commercial trade, the real locality being someplace else (
Paynter 1997
).
B. sanguinosum
has been recorded from
Colombia
,
Brazil
and
Peru
(
Maldonado 1990
;
Dougherty 1995
). Additional localities from
Colombia
are given here (
