Corynellus arrogans (Buquet, 1840), comb. nov.
(Figures 8–9)
Pteroplatus arrogans Buquet, 1840: 287; 1841a: 290; White, 1853: 82; Strauch, 1861: 127; Lacordaire, 1869: 165; Gemminger, 1872: 2966 (cat.); Thomson, 1878: 17 (type); Blackwelder, 1946: 588 (checklist); Monné, 1994: 47 (cat.); Monné & Giesbert, 1994: 132 (checklist); Martínez, 2000: 90 (distr.); Monné, 2005: 451 (cat.); Monné & Hovore, 2006: 114 (checklist); Monné, 2018: 671 (cat.).
Dimensions. According to Buquet (1840), the length is equal to 16 mm, and the width is equal to 8 mm at its widest area.
Distribution. Pteroplatus arrogans remains known only by the holotype from Colombia. According to Buquet (1840), the specimen is from Bogotá (Colombia). However, there is no information of a detailed place in Colombia on the original labels (Fig. 9), and the information in Buquet (1841a) is reported as only Colombia.
Type. Holotype, unknown gender, deposited at MNHN.
Remarks. Although we did not examine specimens of this species, the original description and photographs of the holotype allow us to exclude it from Pteroplatus . This exclusion is especially noted by the absence of a dense tuft of setae on antennomeres III–VI (present in Pteroplatus), and also by the presence of erect setae on antennomeres VII–XI (absent in Pteroplatus), and antennomere V being distinctly longer than VI (at most, as long as VI in Pteroplatus). Based on these features, the species is provisionally transferred to Corynellus Bates, 1885 . However, it may belong to a new genus, a possibility that may or may not be confirmed after examining specimens of this species.
