Brazil , Sao Paulo State : RACELDA / Racelda spurca ( Stael [handwritten] / J.C.M. Carvalho. det. 1991 [printed; except two latter numbers, which were handwritten] // [handwritten label]: 20.XI.1955 / Barueri / K. Lenko leg., 1 male (MNRJ). Racelda spurca was described based on an unspecified number of male specimens from Rio de Janeiro , Brazil . Stal (1860 , 1872 ) cited "Mus. Holm." (NHRS) as the depository of the type specimen(s). Currently , there is only one type specimen of R. spurca deposited there ( G. Lindberg pers. comm.) ( Figs 58-60 ). The possibility that the species was described based on more than one specimen cannot be excluded and, following Art. 73.2 and the Recommendation 73F of the ICZN, this specimen is therefore considered as a syntype . Some characteristics of a non-type male specimen examined here (Figs 61 , 62 ) are noteworthy, such as the presence of pale veins on the coria of hemelytra (Fig. 61 ) and the longitudinal sulcus of the pronotum, which is clearly interrupted at the level of transverse sulcus (Fig. 62 ) and not continuous along the two lobes.
