Otumba quadrata Hancock, 1907

( Figs. 105–106 )

Otumba quadrata Hancock, 1907: 235 . Lectotype, here designated. Male. ECUADOR, Cachabi , xii data. 96, Rosenberg. Code: 1903 9268. Type Orth: 120 4/5. Depository: UMO.

Remarks. This species has five syntype specimens deposited at UMO Oxford (three males and two females). The male with the labels “Cachabi, Ecuador, xii data. 96, Rosenberg. Code: 1903 9268. Type Orth: 120 4/5” is selected as a lectotype ( Fig. 105 ). The rest are considered paralectotypes: female, with the same data as lectotype, differing: code: 1903 9533. Type Orth: 120 1/5; female code: 1903 9534. Type Orth: 120 2/5 ( Fig. 106 ); male, code: 1903 9264. Type Orth: 120 3/5. An additional parallelectotype, a male specimen in poor condition, labeled “co-type, code: 1903 9260. Type Orth: 120 5/5,” does not belong to this species. It is a male of Allotettix or a close genus. The specimen photographed by J. Tumbrinck from Costa Rica and uploaded to OSF also does not correspond to this species, so the presence of this species in Central America is ruled out.
