instabilis valens Carl, 1914b: 881-882 View in CoL [ Rhinocricus ].

Zwischen Fresno und Mariquita, 400 m (Coll. Fuhrmann); Sta. Inez, in Ecuador leg. Haensch (Berliner Museum). Unspecified number of ♂ and one ♀.

The MHNG collection contains two specimens in alcohol in separate jars. One jar (MHNG-ARTO-14451) contains a specimen with a pin running along the anterior of the body, the specimen is slightly split, exposing the gonopods. The identification labels in the jar have “ ♂ Sta Inez, Ecuador ” written on them, and the specimen is probably a syntype. The other jar (MHNG- ARTO-14452) contains a smaller specimen. The data label reads “Colombie acheté à M. Bonnal XII.1901 ” and the specimen is probably not a syntype. The ZMHB contains three ♂ syntypes ( Moritz & Fischer, 1975).
