Sargus cyanifrons
Rondani, 1848
ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION: 1848b: 103.
TYPE
LOCALITY: “
Brésil
…
Guyana
[
Brazil
…
Guyana
]” (
Macquart 1838a: 211
) [localities for
Sargus testaceus
(
Fabricius, 1805
)
sensu
Macquart (1838)
].
TYPE
MATERIAL: not found in this study.
CURRENT STATUS: valid species, as
Ptecticus cyanifrons
(
James 1973: 17
,
Woodley 2001: 211
).
REMARKS:
Rondani (1848b: 103)
proposed
Sargus cyanifrons
for
Sargus testaceus
(
Fabricius, 1805
)
sensu
Macquart (1838a: 211)
, which he considered a new species. Rondani referred to Macquart’s redescription of the female of
Sargus testaceus
,
so the
types
for
Sargus cyanifrons
Rondani
should be in Macquart’s collection. The
type
material of
Sargus cyanifrons
has presumably been lost because it is not in the
MNHN
, OUMNH or MHNL where Macquart’s collection is distributed (E. Delfosse, Z. Simmons, O. Boilly, pers. comm., 2019).
