obesus Saussure, 1884: 214-215 [ Heliastus ].

Patris? (Brasilia?). Probably one ♀ (provenance unknown).

One ♀ syntype with labels: “ obesus Sauss., Patria ?” [handwritten on green paper]; “ obesus Sss. type” [handwritten on green paper]; “ Heliastus obesus Sauss. ” [handwritten on green paper]; “ Heliastus obesus Sauss , Holotypus, C S C 1966” [handwritten by Carbonell on red card]. Although the provenance was not known, the green paper labels indicate that Saussure thought (correctly) that the species was Neotropical. Specimen set with wings spread; the tarsi of the left front and right middle legs are lost. Images on OSF. Box V 32 .
