azteca Saussure & Pictet, 1898: 415 , 419 [ Gongrocnemis ].

Mexico, Cordova in Vera Cruz (Höge, Saussure). Unspecified number of Ƌ and ♀ (size variation mentioned) .

Four Ƌ syntypes. A Ƌ with labels: “Cordova, Mexico, Hoege” [printed on white card]; “ Gongrocnemis azteca Sauss. ” [handwritten on green paper]; “ Syntypus ” [printed on red paper]. Specimen set with right wings spread and left wings folded; most of the right antenna is missing. A Ƌ with labels: “Cordova, Mexico, Hoege” [printed on white card]; “ Gongrocnemis azteca Sauss. ” [handwritten on green paper]; “ Syntypus ” [printed on red paper]. Specimen set with right wings spread and left wings folded; most of the left antenna, the tarsi of the right front leg and the left front and middle legs are lost. A Ƌ with labels: “Potrero, Sumichrast” [handwritten on white paper]; “ Gongrocnemis azteca Sauss. ” [handwritten on green paper]; “ Syntypus ” [printed on red paper]. Specimen set with wings spread; the right antenna is missing and the right hind leg is detached and secured through the femur on the original pin. A Ƌ with labels: “Gongroc-, nemis, azteca, Ss., Ƌ Type!” [handwritten on green paper]; “ Syntypus ” [printed on red paper]. The species name label in the insect box has the locality “ Mexico ” handwritten in the lower left corner. Specimen set with wings spread; most of both antennae are missing. The left hind leg is detached and secured through the femur on the original pin, and the top of the abdomen has split so that the end is now curved under the body parallel to the proximal part. The specimens collected by Höge are smaller than the others, which presumably represent the varieties. Although the description treats both sexes no ♀ specimens were identified in the MHNG collection. Box E 20 .
