Alloraphes magnus Franz

(Figs. 12, 26, 67, 68)

Alloraphes magnus Franz, 1980a: 215 .

Type material. Holotype: Brazil (São Paulo): ♀, three labels (Fig. 67): "Barueri, Sao Paulo / Brasij [sic!], lg. K. Lenko" with "No 10" on reverse side [white, printed; reverse handwritten in blue ink]; " Alloraphes / magnus / m. / det. H. Franz" [white, handwritten and printed]; " Holotypus " [red, handwritten] (NHMW).

Remarks. Alloraphes magnus is known from a single female collected in the southern part of Brazil (Fig. 68 j). It differs from all species of Alloraphes in the pronotum without even traces of lateral marginal carinae or edges, different shape of the mesoventral intercoxal process and the presence of an additional median carina within the asetose impressions of mesoventrite (Fig. 26). All other characters agree with those of Alloraphes, but basing only on a single female specimen it is not possible to clarify the taxonomic placement of this interesting and unusually large (BL 1.25 mm) species. Examination of males and their genital characters may help solving this problem. Currently A. magnus should be treated as a species inquirenda, genus incertae sedis within Cyrtoscydmini, but certainly close to Alloraphes .
