Treatment

Sennius amazonicus (Pic, 1929) , comb n.

Bruchus amazonicus Pic, 1929a: 26 (description, distribution).

Acanthoscelides amazonicus: Blackwelder, 1946: 758 (combination, catalog); Udayagiri & Wadhi, 1989: 36 (catalog). Sennius amazonicus: Santos et al., 1997: 883 –886 (host, biology).

Type material (1, MNHN): Lectotype male with labels: 1, “D r Hahnel. / Amazonas / (Staudinger.)” “ type ” “ amazonicus / n sp” “ Holotype ” “ amazonicus / Pic / det. 70 / J. M. Kingsolver” “ Lectotype / Bruchus amazonicus Pic, 1929 / design. J. H. Viana”.

Remark. In the original description, Pic does not indicate the number of specimens studied. One specimen was received from MNHN, here designated as a lectotype, with location data identical to what was given in the original description (Amazones) and Pic’s labels " type " and " amazonicus n sp". Santos et al. (1997) cited Acanthoscelides amazonicus as belonging Sennius but no paper was found with this transference. Here it is formally transferred to Sennius , as Sennius amazonicus ( NEW COMBINATION), due mainly to the following characters: hind femur with one tooth at inner ventral margin, and internal sac of male genitalia with hinge sclerites.
