Remarks.
BOHEMAN (1854)
described
Chelymorpha ignobilis
from ZMHB material.
SPAETH (1909a)
proposed for this species the genus
Exestastica
Spaeth, 1909
, however, pointed that the specimen he used for description did not fully agree with the original description of
C. ignobilis
but with additional specimens identified as that species in various collections. BOROWIEC (1999a) synonymized
Hybosa margineguttata
Wagener, 1877
with
E. ignobilis
but he was not able to locate the type of the latter in the ZMHB collection. During my stay in ZMHB I was also unable to trace the type of
E. ignobilis
and I thus follow Spaethʼs concept of the species. I studied the
holotype
of
Hybosa indecens
and found that it is conspecific with
E. ignobilis
and I therefore synonymize both species.
Distribution.
Brazil
:
Espirito Santo
(
SPAETH 1909
) and
Rio de Janeiro
(
BOROWIEC 1996
).
