Nyctophanes bremei Motschulsky, 1854a: 13 .

Type material examined

Syntype BRAZIL • ♀; “Bremei,, Bresil Deyrolle” // “Typ” // “ Aspisoma ,, Bremei,, M.” [E. Olivier handwriting] // “Cayenn.”; ZIN .

Preservation status

Fairly well-preserved, missing one elytron.

Remarks

Motschulsky (1854) listed Deyrolle as the source of the specimen from Santa Catarina, Brazil. The type specimen analysed here has a label saying “ Brazil Bremei Deyrolle”. However, it has another label saying “Cayenn.”. Because of the confusion with the labels, we decided to interpret this specimen as a syntype. We also note that McDermott (1966) misspelled the species name as Aspisoma bremeri , which should be considered a lapsus calami and not an available name.

Current status

Aspisoma bremei ( Motschulsky, 1854a) .
