Treatment

72. Mycotretus puncticollis ( Duponchel, 1825)

Erotylus puncticollis Duponchel, 1825: 54 . Type locality: “ Brésil ”.

Mycotretus puncticollis – Lacordaire 1842: 142 [junior synonym of M. ornatus ]. — Alvarenga 1994: 30.

Type specimen

Not located.

Remarks

New junior synonym of M. ornatus ( Duponchel, 1825) ( Fig. 14A, see above). Lacordaire (1842) synonymized M. puncticollis under M. nigropunctatus (one of the new junior synonyms of M. ornatus proposed here, see above). Based on the description and redescription of M. puncticollis ( Duponchel 1825: 54 and Lacordaire 1842: 142), we’ve noted that this species is just another variation of M. ornatus .
