Meibomeus bicoloritarsis ( Pic, 1933) . New combination. Fig. 4

Bruchus bicoloritarsis Pic, 1933: p. 17 . From label: “Brésil—Mendés / á 92 kil. De Rio de Janeiro / col. Ection le Moult” [ Brazil]. Syntype female deposited in the MNHN. There is a “ Holotype ” label affixed to this specimen not added by M. Pic. However, the original publication does not designate a holotype nor does it indicate the number of specimens examined. Because no lectotype has been published, this must therefore be considered a syntype.

Acanthoscelides bicoloritarsis : Blackwelder (1946), p. 759 (catalog, comb. nov.); Udayagiri & Wadhi (1989), p. 39 (catalog).
