Figs 113–115

Trilychnia ruficollis Motschulsky, 1854a: 6 .

Type material examined

Syntype FRENCH GUYANA • sex undetermined; “ruficollis ,, Dej. Bras.” // “typ”// “Guyana.” // “ Lucidota ,, discoidalis,, Cast.” [E. Olivier handwriting]; ZIN.

Preservation status

Poorly preserved, lacking one antenna, one mesoleg, one metaleg, the abdomen; one of the elytra is damaged.

Remarks

Kazantsev & Nikitsky (2008) found a female syntype at ZMMU. Motschulsky misattributed the authorship of Trilychnia ruficollis to Dejean. Since Motschulsky, the rightful author, didn’t determine the depository of his type specimens, the ZIN specimen is considered another syntype of Trilychnia ruficollis .

Current status

Lucidota ruficollis ( Motschulsky, 1854a) .
