Type data: This species was described based on four females from
Peru
. In
HNHM
I found one female collected in “Yurimagua” and another one from “Tebas”. Both specimens must belong to the type series and are here designated
lectotype
and
paralectotype
, respectively.
Lectotype
with the following data label: [light greenish square without text]\ Yurimaguas [handwritten] Brasilia [printed]\ [black-rimmed] 685. 60. [handwritten]\
fulviventris
Typ. Mocs.
[handwritten].
Paralectotype
with the following data label: [purple square label without text]\ Tebas [handwritten] Brasilia [printed]\ [black-rimmed] 685. 60. [handwritten]. According to the accession book at
HNHM
the
lectotype
and
paralectotype
were purchased from insect dealer Otto Staudinger in 1884. The current condition and depository of the remaining type specimens, now
paralectotypes
, is unknown.
