( Fig. 1–5 ) Odontocera flavicauda Bates 1873: 40 ; Monné 2017: 443 (cat.). Odontocera flavicauda var. notatisternis Gounelle 1911: 40 . Species concept. Based on Bates (1873) original description and photograph of the male holotype ( Fig. 1 ) made available on Bezark (2017) , which compares well with those taken by the author ( Fig. 2-6 ). Comment. Having studied Gounelle (1911) description and photographs of his Odontocera flavicauda var. notatisternis , the author does not believe it to be a variety of Bates’ O. flavicauda for the following reasons: they don’t look like each other and they come from disjunct geographical areas, Gounelle’s from the humid Mata Atlântica of east-central Brazil ( MG ), Bates’s from the wet forests of southern Brazil ( PR ). However, as the author has not had access to the type material, nor a topotype to extract the genitalia, the true status of Gounelle’s subspecies will remain in doubt. Measurements (mm). 9 males / 2 females : total length, 11.85–13.50/12.70–14.25; length of prothorax, 1.75–1.95/1.85–2.05; width of prothorax, 1.40–1.60/1.70–1.85; length of elytra, 6.30–7.50/7.20–8.25; width at humeri, 1.70–2.00/1.95–2.30. Specimens analyzed. BOLIVIA , Tarija , 21°18 ʹ S / 63°30 ʹ W , 7 km W Villamontes , 600–700m , 3–4 km San Antonio Road , Foothill Chaco Forest , flying to/on flowers of Croton sp. A, male 5.I.2008 , female , 16.XII.2007 , Clarke and Zamalloa col. ( RCSZ ). Specimens examined. (all collected by Clarke and Zamalloa). BOLIVIA , Santa Cruz , 10 km S Abapo , 19°00 ʹ S / 63°14 ʹ W , 762m , Santa Cruz-Yacuiba Hwy , Foothill Chaco Forest , on flowers of Croton sp. A, male, 2.I.2008 , ( RCSZ ). Tarija , 21°18 ʹ S / 63°30 ʹ W , 7 km W Villamontes , 600–700m , 3–4 km San Antonio Road , Foothill Chaco Forest , on flowers of Croton sp. A, 2 males, 14-16.XII.2007 ( RCSZ ), same data: male ( CMNH ), male ( EMEC ). Distribution. Bates stated that his specimen came from Paraná , Brazil . The author considers the distribution of this species to be centered on the forests of southern Brazil ( PR , SC), Bolivia (TA), Paraguay and Argentina (MI, CH , CO, ER) as recorded by Di Iorio (2005) ; and records from east central Brazil and Uruguay require verification.
