Type material examined Syntype BRAZIL • ♀ ; “Bremei,, Bresil Deyrolle” // “Typ” // “ Aspisoma ,, Bremei,, M.” [ E. Olivier handwriting] // “Cayenn.”; ZIN . Preservation status Fairly well-preserved, missing one elytron. Remarks Motschulsky (1854) listed Deyrolle as the source of the specimen from Santa Catarina , Brazil . The type specimen analysed here has a label saying “ Brazil Bremei Deyrolle”. However, it has another label saying “Cayenn.”. Because of the confusion with the labels, we decided to interpret this specimen as a syntype . We also note that McDermott (1966) misspelled the species name as Aspisoma bremeri , which should be considered a lapsus calami and not an available name. Current status Aspisoma bremei ( Motschulsky, 1854a ) .
