French Guiana : Paulian 1982: 105 (?); Howden and Gill 2000: 323 ; Ocampo and Ballerio 2006: 182 ; Ballerio 2014: 83 . Venezuela : Paulian 1982: 105 ; Howden and Gill 2000: 323 ; Ocampo and Ballerio 2006: 182 . Other: Harold 1874b: 32 (“Columbien” - as Acanthocerus setulosus ); Arrow 1912: 49 (Colombia - as Acanthocerus setulosus ); Blackwelder 1944: 218 (Colombia - as Acanthocerus setulosus ); Howden and Gill 2000: 323 (Colombia); Ocampo and Ballerio 2006: 182 (Colombia). Note. Paulian (1982: 105) states that the holotype of Astaenomoechus setulosus was collected by Dr. Moritz in 1858 in Venezuela . However, he also mentions that the type is from Colombia . Harold clearly writes “Columbien.” In 1830, what was then Gran Colombia was split into several countries, including Colombia and Venezuela . We assume that Paulian had access to the original labels of the holotype and found detailed information which is not reproduced in either Harold (1874b) or Paulian (1982) . We therefore adopt Paulian’s vision of Venezuela as the origin of the holotype .
