SCLEROPACTES ESTHERAE ARCANGELI, 1930 View in CoL
Scleropactes estherae – Van Name (1936); Schultz (1970*); Schmalfuss (1980*); Leistikow & Wägele (1999*); Schmalfuss (2003*).
Holotype ♂ ( Costa Rica, La Palma, altitude 1500 m, leg. Tristán).
The type specimen was not available, and it is doubtful whether it still exists anywhere. This species does not belong to the genus Scleropactes , after Schmalfuss (1980). Here the name is reduced to a nomen dubium, because the original description does not allow identification of the species. The examination of the holotype or of new specimens from the type locality is necessary for a revalidation of the species name.
