Dorynota (Dorynota) ohausi ( Spaeth, 1916) View in CoL ( Figs. 26–27 View Figs , 45 View Fig )

Batonota Ohausi Spaeth, 1916: 284 View in CoL (type locality: ‘Ecuador’).

Type Material Examined. Syntype, pinned: ‘ Ecuador ∣ Buckley [w, hw, cb, circular label] ∥ Ohausi [hw] ∣ m. Typus [hw] ∣ Spaeth det. [w, p, cb, Spaeth’ s hw] ∥ coll. Baly [w, p, cb] ∥ TYPE [r, p, cb] ∥ M/CR MUS ∣ SPAETH COLL. [w, p, cb] ∥ Manchester Museum ∣ SYNTYPE [b, p, cb]’ ( MMUE) .

Additional Material Examined (4). ECUADOR: Loja: without additional locality data, A. Gaujon lgt. (1 specimen, LSC; 3 specimens, MNHN) .

Diagnosis. Dorynota ohausi can be easily separated from other species by the regularly convex humeral angles which lack a carina. The only other species with this character is D. monneorum , but it differs from D. ohausi in the escutcheon body shape and black-patterned dorsum, while D. ohausi is uniformly yellow with a subtriangular body.

Remarks. So far, this species has been considered as being described in 1915. However, the description was published in the second issue of 1915 volume of the Stettiner Entomologische Zeitung which was released on 31 March 1916. Therefore, the year of publication must change to 1916.

Distribution. Ecuador (Zamora-Chinchipe) ( Borowiec 2002). New province record for Ecuador (Loja) ( Fig. 45 View Fig ).
