REMARKS

Already cited from French Guiana by Brindle (1968b) and by Hebard (1920).

Very common in French Guiana and widely distributed. Although it matches well with Hebard’s and Brindle’s descriptions (and specimens identified by these authors), it is uncertain whether this species belongs indeed to that genus, or if it would be better placed in Epilandex Hebard, 1927 or Capralabis Brindle, 1981 . Further investigations are needed.
