Type material examined Lectotype (designated here) BRAZIL • ♂ ; “Bicellonych [probably cut through without the “a” at the end of the genus name],, livida,, Motsch,, Brasil” // “ Serra da Strella ” // “ ” [red label left in blank]; ZIN . Preservation status Complete, well-preserved. Remarks One of the labels says “livida Motsch. Brasil ”, as seen in another syntype of Bicellonycha lividipennis Motschulsky, 1854b ( Kazantsev & Nikitsky 2008 ). Moreover, this specimen bears a red label, and fits the description given for Bicellonycha lividipennis Motschulsky, 1854b . Together, we interpret this as evidence that this specimen is a male syntype of Bicellonycha lividipennis Motschulsky, 1854b , which we hereby designate as lectotype . “Serra da Strella” probably refers to the Serra da Estrela Mountain, part of the Serra do Mar Mountain range, Southeastern Brazil . Several European naturalists set foot at the Serra da Estrela, where the diplomat and “academic extraordinary” baron Georg Heinrich von Langsdorff had a property, named “Fazenda da Mandioca” (Portuguese for “Cassava farm”) ( Papavero 1971 ). Langsdorff in fact shipped many specimens to ZIN ( Papavero 1971 ). Therefore, it is reasonable to attribute “Serra da Strella” to the piedmont of the Brazilian Serra da Estrela, in today’s Magé Municipality, Rio de Janeiro State , Brazil . Current status Bicellonycha lividipennis Motschulsky, 1854b: 58 .
