(Figs. 150–151)
Adelopsis grouvellei; Szymczakowski, 1963: 671 [and Figs. 10–12 or 13—it is not possible to recognize which one refers to the specimen here assigned to this species] (misidentification—Gnaspini, 1996: 540, and see Notes under A. grouvellei, below).
Holotype, male (NMPC). Type locality and data: Brazil: São Paulo State: São Paulo, Jaro Mráz leg. Labels: “ São Paulo / Bras. Mráz lgt / Mus. Pragense”. One male paratype with same data. Holotype here illustrated. Note: specimens misidentified as Adelopsis grouvellei Jeannel, 1936 in Szymczakowski (1963: 671) —Gnaspini, 1996: 540, and see Notes under A. grouvellei, below.

Etymology. The name is given in honor of Wacław Szymczakowski, who examined the specimens, for his large contribution to systematics of cholevines.

Taxonomic Remarks. The lateral view of the aedeagus (Fig. 150) seems to help in the recognition of this species.
