Catoclastus chevrolatii Solier, 1851

Catoclastus chevrolatii Solier, 1851: 96-97 [original combination].

Catoclastus chevrolati Solier [incorrect subsequent spelling by Harold 1869b: 1226].

Distribution.

PERU: Ayacucho ( Ohaus 1918, 1934b, 1952, Blackwelder 1944, Machatschke 1972, Ratcliffe et al. 2015).

Types.

Soula (2010a: 4) designated the male neotype of Catoclastus chevrolatii at MNHN.

Remarks.

Solier (1851) described C. chevrolatii from "various parts of Chile" (translated from Spanish) and subsequent authors continued to cite these data ( Harold 1869b, Reed 1876, Philippi 1887, Ohaus 1910c, 1918, 1934b, 1952, Blackwelder 1944, Machatschke 1972, Krajcik 2008, Soula 2010a). We have not examined any Catoclastus specimens from Chile and we consider these data erroneous. Catoclastus chevrolatii is currently known only from Peru.
