toltecus Saussure, 1884: 91-2 [ Xanthippus ].

Mexico alta. Unspecified number of ♁ and ♀ .

Two ♀ syntypes. A ♀ with labels: “ toltecus Sss. ” [handwritten on green paper]; “ Xanthippus toltecus Sauss. ” [handwritten on green paper]; “ Syntypus ” [printed on red paper]. The species name label in the insect box has the locality “ Mexique ” handwritten in the lower left corner. Specimen set with left wings spread and right wings folded; the right antenna, the tibia and tarsi of the right front leg, both middle legs, two tarsal segments of the left hind leg and the tibia and tarsi of the right hind leg are lost. There is considerable insect feeding damage to the abdomen. A ♀ with labels: “ Mexico City, Schumann” (top) and “21.6.88” (bottom) [locality printed, collector and date hand written on white card]; “ Xanthippus toltecus Sauss ” [handwritten on green paper]; “ Syntype of X. toltecus ?” [handwritten on red paper]. Specimen set with wings folded; both antennae are lost. The second specimen was regarded as a syntype by Otte (1984: 338) but the date suggests that it was captured after the description was published, in which case it is not part of the type series. Box V 5 .

A junior synonym of Xanthippus corallipes (Haldeman, 1852) .
