was only subsequently treated in taxon lists and has received no revisionary attention. La Greca only included the type locality, but no repository for the type. It is presumed that the specimen remains in an Italian collection. In addition, the species was cited in subsequent works with the repository listed as the Natural History Museum Zoological Section 'La Specola', University of Florence. Therefore, Luca Bartolozzi was contact in hopes of locating the specimen. After an extensive search it was not located in Florence. Luca Bartolozzi contacted museums in Genoa, Milan and Rome looking for the specimen, but nothing was located in these collections. After consulting with Luca Picciau, of the Museo Regionale di Scienze Naturali, Torino, in search of the type specimen of

type was female and the designated neotype is male, a female specimen has also been located and is treated herein, which demonstrates a match with the original name-bearing type. A male is designated as the neotype herein as a measure of consistency across the entire genus, which now includes holotype descriptions of male genital structures. Finally, the neotype is not from the original type locality, but from just south within Guyana and still on the eastern side of the Guyana Shield, within the same elevational range, forest type, and climate conditions.

Frontal suture with a medial carina forming a continuous arc, the region just ventral depressed for most of the length. Ocelli small and protruding prominently on small cuticular mounds; the lateral ocelli oriented outward. The carina on the frons pronounced, the medial region just ventral to the carina depressed and sloped ventrally. Clypeus transverse, the upper margin convex, the lower margin straight; the central carina strongly pronounced and straight. Antennae pale at the base, the flagellum absent on specimen. The vertex and juxta-ocular protuberances pale and with brown speckled markings; the area immediately adjacent to lateral ocelli black; the ventrolateral margins of the frons with a dark brown margin. Palpi are pale.</paragraph>

Prozone squat with convex margins widening anterior to supra-coxal bulge before narrowing to the anterior margin; the margins smooth. Metazone with sweeping concave lateral margins, the nadir at the three quarter point from the supra-coxal bulge, then widening slightly to the posterior margin; margins with small, disperse tubercles; posterior margin with a slight medial emargination, almost straight; the dorsal surface of the posterior third of the metazone depressed; tubercles more common in the posterior half.

Legs: Femur squat and robust with a near straight dorsal margin; strongly defined pale to dark banding on posterior (external) surface; anterior (internal) surface with a very thin black band running medially from the base to terminus, a black mark dorsal to the band at the midpoint and some thickening of the line near the femoral brush; the ventral surface pale. Posterior surface of femur with few tubercles. A shallow femoral pit to accommodate terminal posteroventral tibial spine positioned just distal to the first most proximal posteroventral spine and in line with the most distal discoidal spine; pit is pigmented darkly. Posterior prothoracic femoral genicular spine much smaller than posteroventral spines, originating distal to the beginning of the genicular lobe. Prothoracic tibial posteroventral spines with the first (proximal) smallest and the fourth through sixth of similar length, the second and third are slightly longer. Prothoracic coxae smooth, the anterior surface with a very small, black mark in the proximal half and adjacent to the medial line.

Forewings asymmetrically colored; one being mottled as described the other is darkened significantly with a rust tone, the mottled pattern still visible; extending just beyond the abdomen. The discoidal region of the hindwings opaque, a pale rust color proximally that fades to a dark, rusty opaque color in the distal half; the anal region of the hindwing smoky and translucent; the terminus of the discoidal region projecting beyond the distal margin of anal region, the wing appearing elongate.</paragraph>
<paragraph id="0A023EA6D4C8E73ADEAFDD52B064A178" pageId="39" pageNumber="40">Abdomen: Broad, widening until the fifth tergite before a gradual posterior narrowing; a smooth, brown and black colored dorsal surface. Tergites without posterolateral tergal projections. Supra-anal plate transverse, a broadly rounded terminus with a medial emargination. Subgenital plate irregularly rounded and without styli.</paragraph>
<paragraph id="03A55D5128A00E9B8834A07016A9B77F" pageId="39" pageNumber="40">Genital Complex (Fig. 51C.1): The main body of ventral left sclerite (L4A) with a convex terminal margin that tapers to a medially positioned, blunt point that is well sclerotized, but lacking a distal process (pda). The apofisis falloid (afa) of the main body of dorsal left sclerite (L4B) elongate, slender and curved, terminating in a blunt, but narrow point; the apical process (paa) short, cylindrical and curved, the terminus with a rounded end. The right dorsal phallomere (fda) of the first sclerite of right phallomere (R1) tapers to a rounded, membranous terminus; the ventral plate (pia) long with strongly defined grooves; the ventral process (pva) tooth-like and curved at the proximal base, the distal tip narrowing with a rapid constriction towards the end.</paragraph>
