Microvelia lacunana Drake & Plaumann, 1953 View in CoL

Microvelia lacunana Drake & Plaumann, 1953: 415−416 View in CoL (original decription).

One paratype (allotype) is deposited in NMPC:

PARATYPE (♀ macr.): ‘1953 [p, vertical line] / Brasilien / Rio Caragualà / 21° 48´B. 52° 27´L. / Fritz Plaumann [p, horizontal lines] / 400 m [p, vertical line; white label with light blue vertical lines and black frame submarginally] // Allotype [p] / Microvelia / lacunana / D & P. [hw, red label] // ♀ [p]’.

Current status. Valid species: Xiphovelia lacunana ( Drake & Plaumann, 1953) (see POLHEMUS 1977, HECKMAN 2011, MOREIRA et al. 2011). However, ZETTEL (2012c: 100) expressed serious doubts concerning placement of this Nearctic species in Xiphovelia ; further revision seems necessary to elucidate its generic placement.
