Tikuna bilineata
(Needham & Murphy)
comb. n.
Choroterpes bilineata
Needham & Murphy 1924
:48
;
Traver 1947
:156
.
The genus
Tikuna
was established by
Savage et al. (2005)
and
Choroterpes atramentum
Traver, 1947
, was designated as the
type
species. Following this publication, two species from South and Central
America
remain incorrectly placed in
Choroterpes
. The first,
Choroterpes bilineata
Needham & Murphy, 1924
, originally described from female imagos and male subimagos from La Chorrera, Putumayo Dist.,
Peru
(now a part of
Colombia
), also belongs to the genus
Tikuna
, requiring the new combination
Tikuna bilineata
.
The
holotype
and
paratypes
(Cornell University) were studied by one of us (H.M. Savage); additional specimens deposited at the
U. S.
National Museum of Natural History, Florida A&M University, and the Zoologische Sammlung des Bayerischen Staates were recorded from
Brazil
,
Ecuador
,
Surinam
, and
Venezuela
. New records for
