Mycotretus sedecimguttatus – Crotch 1876: 440. — Gemminger & Harold 1876: 3695. — Kuhnt 1909: 71; 1911: 53. — Blackwelder 1945: 467. — Alvarenga 1994: 35. — Skelley 1998b: 15.

Not found.

Other specimens examined

COLOMBIA • 1 spec. ( Fig. 22D View Fig ); “ TYPE. [printed, crossed out], 16-guttatus, ex descr. [handwritten] \ L [printed] \ N gran [handwritten]”; UMZC .

Unknown locality in Colombia.

Remarks

The unique individual examined by us has a label “ex descr”, which means “ex description”, and it was probably identified by Crotch based on the original description by Guérin-Méneville. Labels with the word “ Type.” crossed out by Crotch indicate the specimen is probably not the type ( Skelley 1998b).
