[ Fig. 16 ] Original data : “ a. Ega. From Mr. Bates’ collection.” [ holotype ] HOLOTYPE ♁: red-margined holotype disc; green-margined type disc; “Ega / 58 6”; “19. OPLOMUS BASALIS .”; “NHMUK 010592401”. Right antenna, fourth and fifth left antennomeres, and anterior legs missing ( Fig. 16 ). Current status : Oplomus festivus Dallas, 1851 (originally synonymised to Oplomus tripustulatus Fabricius by Stål 1870: 28 , as Var. b; see Distant 1880: 31 ; Distant 1900a: 63 ; Schouteden 1907: 35 ; probably synonymised to Oplomus marginalis Westwood by Thomas 1992: 60 , although there is no mention of a new synonymy; Rider & Rolston 1995: 845–846 replaced preoccupied O . marginalis Westwood by O . festivus Dallas ). Note : Thomas (1992: 60) erroneously reported a label as reading “Equ.” and consequently listed Ecuador in the distribution of the species. The label actually reads “Ega/58 6”; Ega is now known as Tefé and is in Brazil .
