( Fig. 8F View FIGURE 8 )
Diagnosis. All information present in the original description of Enderlein (1922) are also present in N. plurivittatus . We believe this species could be a junior synonym of Nerius plurivittatus , which is a species with wide morphological variation, as in the number of spots in the legs and body coloration.
Distribution. Mexico, Costa Rica, Colombia ( Sepúlveda & de Carvalho 2016).
Remarks. This species is probably a junior synonym of N. plurivittatus , based on the original description and the fact of N. plurivittatus has wide morphological variation. Future studies including the type material of this species are necessary to confirm this hypothesis.
