Bidessonotus pollostus Young, 1990 View in CoL

PUBLISHED RECORDS. YOUNG (1990).

STUDIED MATERIAL. This species is to date only known from the holotype and allotype which were not studied during this project.

DISTRIBUTION. Belize ( YOUNG, 1990; MILLER, 2016). To date only known from the type locality, Corozal Town , in north Belize ( Fig. 2 G View Fig ).

HABITAT. Nothing is known on the habitat preference of this species.

NOTE. This species was described by YOUNG (1990) from Coraxol Town [= Corozal Town], Belize and to date only known from its type locality ( YOUNG, 1990; MILLER, 2016). Most probably this species is also present in Mexico, taking into account that Bidessonotus are good fliers and that the type locality in Belize is only 10 km from the border with Mexico and there are no major natural features that are likely to restrict this species to this single locality.
