aztecus Saussure in Bolívar, 1884: 442-443 [Xyronotus].

Méjico (coll. Scudder, Saussure, Bolivar). Unspecified number of Ƌ and ♀ .

The lectotype Ƌ (designated by Kevan, 1952: 269) is in the OXUM. The MHNG collection contains seven Ƌ and nine ♀ paralectotypes and some nymphs which might also have been syntypes. Dirsh & Mason (1979: 202) refer to the lectotype without stating where it is. They also consider that both genus and species should be considered Bolívar’s, although this has not been generally accepted. Images on OSF. Box X6.
