Saica cruentata Bergroth, 1913: 234 . — Maldonado Capriles 1990: 478 [cat.]. — Swanson 2020: 978 [cit.].

DISTRIBUTION. — French Guiana ( Bergroth 1913) ( Fig. 7 ).

REMARKS

Only known from a female specimen. Bergroth (1913) suggested that S. cruentata could be related to S. erubescens , but that it can be distinguished by the different coloration pattern and scarce setation. The holotype was not found in any collection, and we consider it is lost. No other specimens assignable to the species were found in the collections studied.
