Canthon acutoides Schmidt, 1922 View in CoL

Canthon acutoides Schmidt, 1922 View in CoL : (original description). Type locality: Colombia. Name-bearing type: lectotype (NHRS), designated by Vaz-de-Mello & Cupello (2018), examined by FZVM. Note: though, in the original description, Schmidt (1922) indicated the species as present in Venezuela in addition to Colombia, neither we nor Vaz-de-Mello & Cupello (2018) could locate any Venezuelan syntypes (now lectotype and paralectotypes) in collections, solely Colombian ones. All the other authors who have ascribed the species to Venezuela (see below) seem to have done so relying on Schmidt’s record. In the absence of specimens originating from the country, we consider the presence of Canthon acutoides View in CoL in Venezuela as dubious.

Distribution

Supposedly Colombia and Venezuela ( Schoolmeesters 2023).
