Distribution.

BOLIVIA: La Paz ( Ohaus 1910b, 1918, 1934b, Machatschke 1972, Soula 2006, Krajcik 2008).

Types.

1 ♂ lectotype and 2 paralectotypes of Microogenius arrowi at ZMHB; 1 ♂ paralectotype at BMNH (Fig. 41 ). Soula (2006) indicated that additional paralectotypes are deposited at BMNH, and we located a total of seven paralectotypes at BMNH (pers. obs. BHG Aug. 2016).

Remarks.

Krajcik (2012, 2013) considered M. arrowi to be a member of the genus Lasiocala . The specific epithet " arrowi " is also used in the closely related genera Lasiocala and Oogenius . Care should be taken in associating these epithets and genera.
