Primary type

Lectotype, here designated ( Fig. 6F View Fig )

BRAZIL • “TYPE. [printed], fulvilabris S. Paulo Bates [handwritten] \ TYPE [blue label, printed] \ LECTOTYPE [printed], Mycotretus fulvilabris Crotch, 1876 [red label, handwritten]”; UMZC.

Other specimens examined

BRAZIL • 1 ♂ (dissected); “ Coleção M. Alvarenga [printed] \ Estirão do Equador , Amazonas, Brasil X.1979, M. Alvarenga [printed] \ M [printed] \ Mycotretus ? Haemetichytus [?] [handwritten]”; MNRJ • 1 ♂ (dissected); “Coleção M. Alvarenga [printed] \ Jacareacanga, Pará Brasil, XII-1968, M. Alvarenga [printed] \ 2040 [printed] \ Mycotretus 164 [handwritten] \ n. sp [handwritten]”; MNRJ .

Distribution

North Brazil ( Alvarenga 1994).

Remarks

1) The locality “S. Paulo” mentioned on the labels of the lectotypes of M. fulvilabris and M. rastratus ( Figs 6 View Fig F’ and 10B’) refers to “ São Paulo de Olivença” (in the state of Amazonas, North Brazil), where Henry Walter Bates collected specimens a few years before Crotch published his revision ( Crotch 1876; Papavero 1973; Alvarenga 1994). 2) We examined the lectotype of M. rastratus in the Crotch collection and, excepted for its resemblance with a teneral ( Fig. 10B View Fig ), there is no morphological variation between it and the lectotype of M. fulvilabris . It is worth noting that the coloration observed in the lectotype of M. rastratus is typical of tenerals or not fully pigmented adults of Erotylidae .
