Type locality: "Orixaba [Veracruz, Mexico]" (original citation). Syntype(s) location unknown (possibly in UMO). Lebia bicincta Laporte, 1834 [30 June]: 47. Type locality: "Orizaba [Veracruz], Mexique" (original citation). Syntype(s) location unknown (possibly in MHNP). Synonymy established by Chaudoir (1871a: 208). Note. Based on bibliographic research I made, this name may be older than Chevrolat's name but is not in "prevailing usage" (see Principle of priority under "Nomenclature" section). Lia femorata Motschulsky, 1864: 228. Type locality: "Am[erique ] centr[ale]" (original citation). One syntype in ZMMU (Keleinikova 1976: 197). Synonymy established with doubt by Chaudoir (1871a: 208). Lebia callizona Bates, 1878a: 607. Type locality: "Guatemala" (original citation). Syntype(s) probably in BMNH. Synonymy established (as aberration) by Csiki (1932b: 1332). Distribution.
