1. Lyrcus cyaneus (Girault) n. comb.

Figs 13–20

Catolaccus cyaneus Girault, 1911: 400 –402. Type data (Ƥ syntypes, INHS and ZMHB): described from eight females mounted on two cards labelled “Asuncion, Paraguay, 10/10. 1905, No. 55, J.D. Anisits” and “ Systasys sp.”. Neocatolaccus (Catolaccus) cyaneus; Girault, 1913: 56.

Discussion. Of the syntypes, I examined three mounted on a single card (Fig. 13) in INHS. An attached “ paratype ” label states “4Ƥ Ƥ”, suggesting that one female was lost from the card. The label data matches the published data though the collection date is written as “ 10.X.05 ”. The species is one of the comparatively rare species of Lyrcus with distinct, white, parallel-sided lanceolate setae (Figs 14–16). Further, although the fore wing (Fig. 17) has a single row of conspicuously long admarginal setae (Fig. 18: lower frame), these are entirely overlain by dorsal discal setae (Fig. 18: upper frame). Lyrcus cyaneus is typical for Lyrcus in other respects, including a plesiomorphic metapleural structure (Fig. 19), three anelli (Fig. 16), and absence of a malar depression (Fig. 14). The propodeum (Fig. 20) has a complete median carina, plical carinae that extend from the anterolateral plical depressions posteriorly through the nuchal furrow, and a transverse paraspiracular carina that does not extend mesally to the plical carina. It also lacks a costula and has a transverse band of short crenulae along the anterior margin (Fig. 20). No lectotype is designated at this time because the fate and condition of the syntypes in ZMHB is unknown.
