Estoloides rufipes Breuning, 1940

( Figs 141–143 )

Estoloides (Estoloides) rufipes Breuning, 1940: 75 ; Blackwelder, 1946: 601 (checklist); Breuning, 1963: 506 (cat.); 1974a: 59; Monné & Giesbert, 1994: 220 (checklist); Monné, 1994b: 40 (cat.); 2005: 404 (cat.); 2017: 354 (cat.).

Estoloides rufipes was described based on a single specimen from Brazil (Bahia). Breuning (1940, 1974a) did not report the sex of the holotype. However, based on examination of photographs of the holotype ( Bezark 2017) the antennal length suggests it is a male. According to Breuning (1940): “Länge 10 mm. Breite 3 ¼ mm.” In Breuning (1974a) the recorded width is different: “Long.: 10 mm; larg.: 1,75 mm.” Measurements based on holotype photographs indicate that the overall length is approximately 3.1 times the width, which agrees with the original description.

The species is newly recorded from Brazilian state of Espírito Santo (new state record).
