Gymnetis schistacea Burmeister, 1847: 553 (description; distribution); Soukup 1942: 336 (distribution).

Gymnetis flaveola F. subsp. schistacea Burm. : Schürhoff 1937: 58 (new status), 65 (list; distribution); Blackwelder 1944: 262 (catalog; distribution).

Gymnetosoma flaveola ssp. schistacea: Krajčík 1998: 78 (catalog; distribution).

Distribution: PERU ( Soukup 1942). BRAZIL: Pará: “Gameta” [= Cametá], Col. Schaum ( Burmeister 1847); ( Blackwelder 1944): Amazonia ( Schürhoff 1937, Krajčík 1998).

Material examined: PERU: Junín: Chanchamayo, La Merced, Rio Oxabamba , 1 ex. [ CBBA] ; Loreto: Iquitos, 1 male [ ODIC] ; BRAZIL: Bosq Collection, 3 exx. [ MLPA] ; Amazonas: Manicoré, Río Madeira , VI-1921, 1 ex. [ MACN], “ Gymnetis schistacea Burm. ; São Paulo de Olivença, Bosq Collection , 1 ex. [ MLPA] ; Pará: Itaituba, IX-1965, 1 ex. [ ODIC], X-1965, 1 ex. [ ODIC] ; PARAGUAY: “Chaco / paraguayo” [handwritten by Bosq], Bosq Collection, 2 exx. [ MLPA], “1213” [handwritten by Bosq], G. Pellerano Collection, 1 ex. [ MACN], “ Gymnetis / schistacea / Burm.” [handwritten by Bosq] ; ARGENTINA: Misiones: Dallas Collection, 1 ex. [ MLPA], “ Gymnetis / schistacea / Burm.” [handwritten by Bosq], “ Gymnetis / flaveola / schistacea Burm. / det. B.C. Ratcliffe 2004 ” ; Tucumán: C.S. Reed leg., 1 ex. [ CBBA], Dallas Collection, 1 ex. [ MLPA] ; Leales, XII-[illegible year], [illegible collector], Dallas Collection, 1 ex. [ CBBA] ; Santiago del Estero: Río Salado , A. Breyer Collection, 1 male [ MACN], “ Gymnetis / schystacea / Burm.” ; Chaco: Dallas Collection , 1 ex. [ MLPA], 1922, Dallas Collection, 1 ex. [ MLPA].

Male genitalia: parameres ( Fig. 73 View FIGURES 72–78 ).

Note 1: The mention of G. schistacea from Santiago del Estero by Burmeister (1866), repeated by Bruch (1911a), corresponds to the specimen of Gymnetis bruchi and not to the specimen from the Breyer Colletion, which was incorporated to the MACN after 1930.

Note 2: Schenkling (1921: 93) listed G. schistacea as a synonym of G. flaveola based on Kraatz (1888), but Schürhoff (1937) later treated it as a subspecies of G. flaveola . Gymnetis schistacea seems to be a color variation (Fig. 69) of G. flaveola (Figs. 70–71).

Note 3: The male parameres of G. flaveola ( Fig. 72 View FIGURES 72–78 ) are slightly different from those of G. schistacea ( Fig. 73 View FIGURES 72–78 ).
