Cylapus nobilis Poppius, 1909: 11, 43 (new species). Cylapus nobilis: BERGROTH (1920): 71(list); CARVALHO & FONTES (1968): 274(list); SCHUH (1995): 24(catalog); GORCZYCA (2006b): 16(catalog); SCHUH (2013)(online catalog). Cylapus( Cylapus) nobilis: CARVALHO (1957): 30(catalog).
Typematerial (not examined). VENEZUELA:“Venezuela, 11°, 8’ S. Br., 75° 17’ W. von Greenw., 1800 in.EL. d. M., 10. IX. 1906, N ICONNIKOFF” ( ZMUM).
Remarks.The typespecimen of C. nobiliswas unavailable for my study and this species is not treated in this paper. Based on the description by POPPIUS (1909)this species seems to be most similar to C. antennatus, C. luridus, and C. tucuruiensisin having black pronotum, broadly tinged with red laterally ( Figs 37–39, 43, 54, 55). Within the material deposited in USNM I found two specimensfrom Brazileach being identified as both C. antennatusand C. nobilisand both bearing the “compared with type” label attached by J. C. M. Carvalho. However, those specimens do not seem to belong neither to C. antennatusnor to C. nobilisas they have a yellow stripe along the outer margin of cuneus not found in both species ( Figs 37–39; POPPIUS 1909). The finding of these specimens identified as C. antennatusand C. nobilisbearing a “compared with typelabel” would suggest affinity of C. nobiliswith group of similar Cylapusspecieswith red patches on lateral portion of pronotum ( C. antennatus, C. luridus, and C. tucuruiensis).
