Butocrysa insignis ( Lucas, 1857)

( Fig. 15 )

Material examined: BRAZIL, Espírito Santo (new state record): Linhares, 1 ♂, 09.XI.1990, J.S. Santos col. ( RNV).

Butocrysa insignis was described from“Brésil intérieur” [inland Brazil], as Amphionycha insignis . It has been reported that the species was described based on a single specimen (holotype). However, Lucas (1857) indicated: “ AMPHIONYCHA INSIGNIS (2)” ; “(2) Dej. Cat. des Coléopt., 3 e edit., p. 379”. Accordingly, the specimens from Pierre François Marie Auguste Dejean (currently in the BMNH) are syntypes. Apparently, Dejean was involved in the identification of the specimens because Lucas himself indicated this (translated): “By doing so, I hope to signal sufficiently the entomological riches gathered by the Scientific Commission of South America , under the skillful direction of M. Le Comte de Castelnau ”. Currently, it is known from Brazil (Minas Gerais, Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo) ( Monné, 2020b) .
