Santos-Silva, Antonio & Bezark, Larry G., 2022, The primary types of Bisaltes (Bisaltes) Thomson of the Museu de Zoologia Universidade de São Paulo, with notes and synonymies regarding other species of this subgenus and Bisaltes (Craspedocerus) Aurivillius (Coleoptera, Cerambycidae Lamiinae), Zootaxa 5165 (1), pp. 95-106 : 104

Bisaltes (Craspedocerus) poecilus Aurivillius, 1900

( Figs. 34–35 )

Craspedocerus poecilus Aurivillius, 1900: 414 .

Bisaltes (Craspedocerus) poecilus ; Breuning, 1942: 141.

Bisaltes (Bisaltes) columbianus Breuning, 1971b: 285 . Syn. nov.

Aurivillius (1900) described C. poecilus based on syntypes from Venezuela. Later, Breuning (1971b) described B. columbianus from Colombia. Comparing the photographs of a syntype of the former ( Fig. 34 ) and the holotype of the latter ( Fig. 35 ), we conclude that they belong to the same species. Therefore, we synonymize Bisaltes (Bisaltes) columbianus with Bisaltes (Craspedocerus) poecilus .
