( Figs. 16 , 39 , 77-78 , 108 , 119 )

Plectonotum ruficolle Wittmer, 1988: 331 , homonym of P.ruficolle Pic,1926 (= Hyponotum ruficolle ( Pic, 1926)) .

Plectonotum neoruficolle Constantin , nom. nov., new name for P. ruficolle Wittmer, 1988 .

Type material: Holotype ♂ ( NHMB): Peru: Loreto, Mariscal Ramon Castilla, Estirón [near Pebas] on Rio Ampiyacu [03°22′S, 72°00′W, written Rio Ampi Paco on original label], 28.III-09.IV.1970, leg. B. Malkin.

Other material examined: A single male specimen, without abdomen, was collected with UV-light trap in the department of Madre de Dios at the CICRA [12°34′S, 70°06′W] biological station ( Constantin & Chaboo, 2016).

Pic (1926: 26) described as a new species Plectonotum ruficolle , from Chile, close to Plectonotum albocinctum Pic, 1926 , published in the same page. Wittmer (1949) erected the new genus Hyponotum , designated P. albocinctum Pic as type-species and transferred P. ruficolle Pic to Hyponotum . Thus, Plectonotum ruficolle Wittmer, 1988 is a junior primary homonym of P. ruficolle Pic, 1926 . A new name Plectonotum neoruficolle nom. nov., is proposed for P. ruficolle Wittmer, 1988 .
