incerta Brunner von Wattenwyl, 1895: 167 [ Gongrocnemis ].

Guatemala (coll. Brunner) ; Mexico (Mus. I. R., & Mus. Genav.). Unspecified number of ♁ and ♀ .

One ♁ and two ♀, possibly syntypes. A ♁ with labels: “3 28, Guatemala, M H. d. Sauss.” [handwritten on ruled white card]; “ Gongrocnemis incerta Brunn. ” [handwritten on green paper]. Specimen set with wings spread; the right antenna, right front leg, left middle leg and both hind legs are missing. There is a detached right hind leg pinned through the femur next to the specimen which may belong to it. A ♀ with labels: “2 14, Guatemala, M H. d. Sauss.” [handwritten on ruled white card]; “ Gongrocnemis incerta Brunn. ” [handwritten on green paper]. Specimen set with wings folded; most of both antennae are missing (having been repaired with glue) and the left hind leg lacks the last tarsal segment. A ♀ with labels: “3 28, Guatemala, M H. d. Sauss.” [handwritten on ruled white card]; “ Gongrocnemis incerta Brunn. ” [handwritten on green paper]. Specimen set with wings spread; most of both antennae are lost, as are the left front and middle legs. The right front leg lacks the tarsi and the right back leg lacks two tarsal segments. The original description gives the provenance of the MHNG specimens as Mexico, but the type series also included specimens from Guatemala and specimens from Mexico in another collection, and so confusion in Brunner’s notes is possible.
