Mycotretus aestuans Lacordaire, 1842 Mycotretus aestuans Lacordaire, 1842: 170 . Type locality: “ Brésil ”. Mycotretus aestuans Crotch 1876: 441 . — Gemminger & Harold 1876: 3691 . — Kuhnt 1909: 76 ; 1911: 48 . — Blackwelder 1945: 465 . — Alvarenga 1994: 20 . — Skelley 1998b: 15 . Type specimen Not located. Distribution Brazil . Remarks The specimen shown in Fig. 26C was identified by Moacyr Alvarenga and fits well the original description of Lacordaire (1842) . Probably, M. aestuans may be a synonym of M. hilaris ( Fig. 31B , see below). However, we have not examined the type of M. aestuans and it seems be a poorly represented species in collections (few specimens for comparison), we prefer not to synonymize them here.
