Galerita aequinoctialis Chaudoir, 1852

Galerita aequinoctialis Chaudoir, 1852: 37 (as aeguinoctialis). Type locality: «Mexique» (original citation), herein restricted to Jalapa Enríquez, Veracruz (see Reichardt 1967: 90). Syntype(s) probably in MHNP. Note. The fact that Chaudoir’s name is spelled aequinoctialis in "Table des Matières” of the original publication (page 103) should be regarded as a clear indication of an inadvertent error in the original spelling aeguinoctialis (page 37).

Distribution.

This species ranges from the Rio Grande in southeastern Texas south to Colombia ( Martínez 2003: 7) [see Reichardt 1967: Fig. 76]. The record from “Arkansas” (Bousquet and Larochelle 1993: 285) is in error.
