Euryptera latipennis var. virgata Gounelle, 1911 : 107 . New synonymy. Euryptera virgata ; Monné, 2006 : 122 (cat.). Euryptera brasiliensis Fuchs, 1956 : 568 . New synonymy. Gounelle (1911) , in the description of E. virgata , mentioned a series of 12 specimens , with no holotype selected. Therefore, the following lectotype designation is necessary to fix clearly the status of the taxon. Euryptera brasiliensis was described from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil . Upon examination of a photograph kindly sent by Herbert Schmid, we have determined that this species is only a color variation of E. latipennis . The color pattern of the elytra varies considerably from black with a minute postmedian orange macula to completely orange with a narrow black apical band. Geographical distribution. Brazil (Rondônia, Mato Grosso, Goiás, and Espírito Santo to Rio Grande do Sul), Bolivia , Paraguay and Argentina . Specimens examined.
