Priocera diverselutea PIC, 1936: 15 .

LECTOTYPE: Gender not known. Here designated. Type locality: Colombie ( MNHN). CORPORAAL 1950 About MNHN : 99. It is not known how many specimens were available to Pic. He did not select a holotype, therefore, I invoke Recommendation 73F of the ICZN (1999) and designate a lectotype for this nominal species.

D i a g n o s i s: The stout spine at the apex of the prothoracic tibia will distinguish the members of this species.

R e d e s c r i p t i o n: Size: Length 22.0 mm; width 6.0 mm. Form: As in Fig. 128 View Figs 128-131 . Head: Frons wider than length of antennal pedicel; EW/FW 95/55. Thorax: Pronotum finely punctate, with 2 tumescenses (PW/PL 240/315); elytral disc sculptured with circular, asetiferous punctures that are not seriate, they extend slightly beyond elytral 1/2, elytral apex bispinous (EL/EW 1,020 /200); prothoracic tibial apex with stout spine; metathoracic femur gradually increasing in diameter to femoral apex. Abdomen: Aedeagus as in Fig. 42. View Figs 34-42

V a r i a t i o n: The available specimens are quite homogeneous.

D i s t r i b u t i o n ( Fig. 89 View Figs 89 ): In addition to the lectotype, I examined 2 specimens from: Colombia: No other information available. Specimens are deposited in MNHN and WOPC.

N o t e s: The lectotype was examined, but the description is based on a homotype specimen.
