Ophtalmibidion luscum Martins, 1971 View in CoL ( Fig. 2E View Figure 2 )

Ophtalmibidionluscum Martins,1971:1449; Monné,1993:39 (cat.); Monné & Giesbert, 1994: 76 (checklist); Monné, 2005: 357 (cat.); Monné & Hovore, 2006: 94 (checklist); Martins & Galileo,2007:203; Monné et al., 2017:5 (distr.); Santos-Silva et al., 2019:6 (key); Monné, 2021:516 (cat.). Remarks: According to Martins (1971) (translated):“Elytra orangish; each with a whitish, well-developed, slightly oblique downward macula, from margin to the suture in the middle of the anterior half, and a whitish reverse oblique band in the middle. Macula and band bordered by slightly darker color.” Looking at the photograph in Martins (1971), the description of the whitish areas of the elytra seems to agree very well. Martins & Galileo (2007) repeated the original description of the color of the elytra, but provided a different photo of the holotype, taken from a slightly different angle, that appears to contradict the original description and the redescription. This is the same photograph provided here ( Fig. 2E View Figure 2 ) (taken by Karl Ernst Hüdepohl, Germany). The elytra appear not to have two isolated whitish maculae,but a single and large C-shaped band centrally (X-shaped considering both elytra). It is possible that this whitish area between the two oblique areas is just light reflection. It will be necessary to examine the holotype or get better photographs to be sure. Martins & Galileo (2007) also listed a second specimen of O. luscum View in CoL : “ BRASIL, Espírito Santo: Linhares, female, XI.1972, P.C. Elias col. (MZSP).” However, this specimen is O. oculatum View in CoL , practically identical to the holotype, and it is correctly identified in the MZSP collection.
