Peltidocylapus tapirapensis Carvalho

Peltidocylapus tapirapensis Carvalho, 1991b: 483, fig. 4 (sp. nov.)

Peltidocylapus tapirapensis: Carvalho & Froeschner, 1994: 499 (list); Schuh, 1995: 32 (catalog), 2002–2013 (online catalog); Gorczyca 2006a: 19 (catalog)

Remarks. I was not able to study any specimens belonging to this species. Based on the long, erect setae on dorsum, including pronotum (Carvalho 1991), it is likely that it belongs rather to Valdasus as defined by Wolski et al. (2020) than to Peltidocylapus . Further studies, including additional specimens of this species, are required to correctly indicate placement of this species.

Biology. Unknown.

Distribution. Brazil (Mato Grosso).

Type material. Holotype ♀: Brazil, Barra do Tapirap, Mato Grosso, XI.1964, Boris Malkin ( Museu Nacional, Rio de Janeiro, not examined).
