Stratocles forcipatus Bolívar, 1896

Stratocles forcipatus Bolívar, 1896: 11 .

One syntype is deposited in NMPC (ex coll. N. M. Kheil):

SYNTYPE (♂): ‘Atalapo / leg. Vráz [hw] // Stratocles St. / forcipatus / Bol. [hw] // Orig. [hw, pink label] // Stratocles Stål / forcipatus Bol. / Atalapo [hw, pink label] // TYPE / STRATOCLES / forcipatus Bolívar, 1896 / label attached by NMP [p, red label]’.

Current status. Valid species.

Comments. Two males are mentioned in the original description: the first collected by S. Vráz in the Atalapo river basin is described in detail, the second collected by Garlepp at the locality of Cumbase ( Peru) (deposited in Museo Nacional de Ciencias Naturales in Madrid: PARIS 1994) is only briefly mentioned. Both specimens should be considered syntypes and both above localities are type localities of the species prior to designation of a lectotype (which also agrees with the opinion of PARIS (1994)). This stands in contrast to BROCK (2014) who erroneously listed Cumbase as the only type locality for the species.
