Cephaloleia Chevrolat, 1836

diplothemium Uhmann, 1951: 70 , Fig. 4

Paratypes: 2 ♂♂, BRAZIL, Bahia: G. Bondar leg., MZFS#34002 ( Fig. 1 C–D, G–I) .

Additional material: 1 ♂, same data, MZFS#34001 mistakenly designated as holotype ( Fig. 1 E–F) .

Comments: According to Staines & García-Robledo (2014: 137, Fig. 122), the holotype of Cephaloleia diplotemium , is deposited at The Natural History Museum, London (NHMUK) deposited by Uhmann (Michael Geisel, curator for Chrysomelidae at NHMUK, in litters). Uhmann (1951) described the species with 9 specimens collected by Bondar and labelled with the catalog number 4665 ( Fig. 1 A–D, G–H). In our collection there are one specimen of the C. diplothemium labeled with the number 4584 with the same data of the type series ( Brazil, Estado da Bahia, G. Bondar leg. ( Fig. 1 E–F), and another label writing “Holotipo”. The catalog number 4584 was not cited by Uhmann (1951) and the holotype label was erroneously labeled in the EMBRAPA collection.
