Axina picta Schenkling, 1907: 309 . Lectotype . Female. Here selected. Type locality: Amazon, Bates (Brasil) (BMNH). Paralectotype . 1 specimen . Brazil : Estado do Amazonas , Amazon, collection date not noted, Bates (SDEI). Corporaal 1950: 98 . There is indication that Schenkling examined more than one specimen in his description of this species, but he did not select a holotype , therefore, I invoke Recommendation 73F of the ICZN (1999) and designate a lectotype for this nominal species. Diagnosis. The floricolorous marking on the elytron disc ( Fig. 103 ) will distinguish the members of this species from congeners. Redescription . Size . Length 12.0 mm; width 3.0 mm. Form .
