Treatment

A valid species, Stromboceridea gratiosa (Konow, 1907) .

Types. Stromboceros gratiosus Konow, 1907a: 497 . Holotype ♀, “ México ”. Type locality. Mexico. MNCN_ Ent 82359, MNCN Cat. Tipos Nº 2269 (see http://dx.doi.org/10.6084/m9.figshare.852133).

Discussion. The Latin description of the species contains an indication that Konow (1907a: 497) had more than one specimen to hand, as he gave a body size range from 8 to 8.5 mm. Furthermore he noted: “Die Type befindet sich im Naturhistorischen Nationalmuseum in Madrid ” [translated: ‘The type is housed in the Natural History National Museum in Madrid’]. The latter is clearly a fixation of a holotype (MNCN). The specimen in the SDEI collection, labeled as paralectotype by Smith in 1976 ( Oehlke & Wudowenz, 1984) is— if it is considered to be a type specimen—a paratype.
