Type
locality:
[
Brazil
] “Caxoeira, dans la province de
Bahia
et dans les bois de St.-Gonzales”
.
Label:
“
Bahia
”, in Moricand’s handwriting.
Dimensions:
“Hauteur, 33 mill.; largeur, 15 mill.”; largest figured specimen herein H 33.0, D 15.2,
W 7.2
.
Type material:
MHNG-INVE-64548,
five syntypes
;
25410,
two syntypes
;
25416,
one syntype
(ex
Blanchet
,
Moricand
coll.)
.
Remarks:
Moricand evidently had several specimens at hand, as he recognized five different colour variations (
trizona
,
dizona
,
nigrescens
,
purpurascens
,
unicolor
), partly on the basis of subadult or juvenile specimens. These names are considered as infrasubspecific, were not adopted as valid names before 1985, and are thus unavailable (
Lingafelter & Yanega, 2012
).
Type
material of this taxon is also present in ZMB (
Köhler, 2007
) and SMF (
Neubert & Janssen, 2004
).
Current systematic position:
Simpulopsidae
,
Leiostracus coxeiranus
(S.
Moricand, 1836
)
.
