Paracontias rothschildi Mocquard, 1905

Identity

This enigmatic species has remained largely unknown because because no additional material was reported since the description of the type specimens (see Brygoo 1980). We recently found several specimens that largely agree with the original description and subsequent descriptions based on the lectotype ( MNHN 1905.269 ) .
