Remarks.
The
type
specimen of
C. nobilis
was unavailable for my study and this species is not treated in this paper. Based on the description by
POPPIUS (1909)
this species seems to be most similar to
C. antennatus
,
C. luridus
, and
C. tucuruiensis
in having black pronotum, broadly tinged with red laterally (
Figs 37–39
,
43
,
54, 55
). Within the material deposited in USNM I found
two specimens
from
Brazil
each being identified as both
C. antennatus
and
C. nobilis
and both bearing the “compared with
type
” label attached by J. C. M. Carvalho. However, those specimens do not seem to belong neither to
C. antennatus
nor to
C. nobilis
as they have a yellow stripe along the outer margin of cuneus not found in both species (
Figs 37–39
;
POPPIUS 1909
). The finding of these specimens identified as
C. antennatus
and
C. nobilis
bearing a “compared with
type
label” would suggest affinity of
C. nobilis
with group of similar
Cylapus
species
with red patches on lateral portion of pronotum (
C. antennatus
,
C. luridus
, and
C. tucuruiensis
).
