Dorynota (Dorynota) rufomarginata ( Wagener, 1881)

( Figs. 36–38 )

Batonota rufomarginata Wagener, 1881: 41 (type locality: ‘Brasilia’).

Type Material Examined. Holotype, pinned: ‘ Brasil [w, hw, cb] ∥ rufomargin. [hw] ∣ coll. Wagener ∣ Typus! [hw] [w, p, cb] ∥ TYPUS [pink, p, cb] ∥ M/ CR MUS. ∣ SPAETH COLL. [w, p, cb] ∥ Manchester Museum ∣ SYNTYPE [b, p, cb] ∥ F2019.2722 [w, p, cb]’ ( MMUE) .

Diagnosis. See diagnosis under D. nodosa .

Remarks. This species is very close to D. nodosa and perhaps representative of just a local form. Unfortunately, both species are known only from the types, thus it is very difficult to evaluate them. Until we have an opportunity to study more material, we will leave D. rufomarginata as a valid species close to D. nodosa . It is also uncertain whether the specimen was actually collected in Brazil or was mislabeled.

Distribution. Brazil ( Wagener 1881).
