Primary type

, here designated (

)
BRAZIL
• “maculifrons Chevrolat. [handwritten] \ femoratus Chevrolat. [handwritten]”;
MRSN
.
Remarks
New junior synonym of
M. ornatus
(
Duponchel, 1825
)
(
Fig. 14A
, see above). The names “
maculifrons
Chevrolat” and “
femoratus
Chevrolat” are nomina nuda, and appear only in the catalogue of
Gemminger & Harold (1876)
under the name “
maculosus
Duponch
”. We have located only the specimen with two labels (“
maculifrons
Chevrolat” and “
femoratus
Chevrolat”) among the Dejean specimens in the
Brême
collection (
Fig. 14B
) and selected it as the
lectotype
of
M. maculosus
(see the Remarks for
M. ocellatus
(Germar)
above).
