Heniartes distinguendus
Wygodzinsky, 1947
H. distinguendus
has never been mentioned in the literature after its description (
Maldonado 1990
). The specimens examined here exhibit some degree of variation not mentioned by
Wygodzinsky (1947a)
: the anterolateral angles of the collar vary from blunt to pointed; the color of the posterior pronotal lobe varies from red to yellowish, but the anterior lobe is always red; the abdomen varies from mostly yellowish with black spots to completely black.
H. distinguendus
was previously recorded only from an unspecified locality in
Ecuador
(
Wygodzinsky 1947a
). The specimens listed below are new records from
Colombia
and
Venezuela
(
