cilipes Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830: 325 .

Type locality: “ Surinam ”. (Senior synonym over leucophrys Wiedemann sec Evenhuis et al., 2010: 97). HT F should be in MNHNP ( Townsend, 1931b: 175), but probably lost ( Toma & Guimarães, 2002: 67). Distr.: Mexico, Colombia, Venezuela, Surinam, Guyana, Ecuador, Bolivia, Peru, Brazil, Paraguay, Argentina and Uruguay ( Walker, 1853: 284; Curran, 1934a: 517; Blanchard & De Santis, 1975: 33; Toma & Guimarães, 2002: 66). Refs.: Guimarães, 1971a: 186 (cat., with leucophrys as senior synonym); Toma & Guimarães, 2002: 66 (rev., key to species, with leucophrys as senior synonym); Evenhuis et al., 2010: 97 (the name cilipes has priority over leucophrys , see below). Comm.: Records in localities of America north of Mexico are probably misidentifications sec Toma & Guimarães (2002: 67), which described the new species L. reinhardi for the material erroneously determined as “ L. leucophrys ” from north of Mexico. Date of publication of cilipes Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830 [ 06 June] is earlier than leucophrys Wiedemann, 1930 [September] (see Evenhuis et al. 2010: 97).
