P. exigua
(
Kirsch, 1871: 354
)
(
Choleva
);
Hatch, 1928: 163
comb. (to
Dissochaetus
, not stated as taxonomic change);
Jeannel, 1936: 66
comb. (to
Adelopsis
, as
exiguus
; not stated as taxonomic change, and not referring to Hatch’s change, probably not aware of it) [but see Notes 3 and 4]; Gnaspini, 1996: 538 comb. No information about types in original description;
?
Syntype
(s) (sex not given) in?SMTD [
Jeannel, 1936
gives no reference to type depository and lists several specimens from “vicinity of
Bogotá
” in MNHN, probably not types, therefore he probably did not have access to types].
Type locality:
Bogotá
, [
Cundinamarca Department
,
Colombia
].
Distribution:
Colombia
:
Cundinamarca Department
: known only from type locality.
Note 1: See synonymic Note 1 under
P. dispar
(Portevin)
.
Note 2: In
Hatch, 1928: 163
as
Peru
, in error, and
Guatemala
(as a senior synonym of
Dissochaetus magnicornis
Portevin [1907]
, presently a junior synonym of
Dissochaetus semipiceus
(Matthews)
[1888]).
Note 3:
Jeannel, 1936: 66
lists “several specimens” from “region of
Bogotá
” [
Cundinamarca Department
],
Colombia
, but it is not possible to know if he is referring to
P. dispar
or
P. exigua
, and if he is referring to
types
; but the
type
of
P. dispar
label reads only “
Colombie
” (
Gnaspini & Peck, 2019
).
Note 4:
Jeannel, 1936: 66
includes a record for “
Brazil
”, which may either refer to
P. exigua
or
P. dispar
, considering that he considered these species synonyms; and which may be in error, considering that species ranges in the tribe are generally not large and that the record in
Brazil
is not precise.
