rhinoceros Pictet, 1888: 48-49 , fig. 25 [ Copiophora ].

Amérique centrale. Unspecified number of ♀.

Possible syntype with labels: “Guaitilde, Pinus, 252 (Pac.), Copiphora ?, P. Biolley” [handwritten on white paper]; “ Copiophora longicauda Serv. ” [handwritten on green paper]; “Type of C. rhinoceros Pictet, 1888 ? Hollier 2010 ” [handwritten on red paper]. Specimen set with right wings spread and left wings folded; most of the left antenna is missing. The left middle leg is detached and secured on the original pin. No specimens in the MHNG collections were labelled as C. rhinoceros . This specimen was placed in the collection as C. Longicauda Serville, 1838 but is clearly not that species; the specimen matches the description, measurements and illustration of C. rhinoceros given by Pictet. A specimen in the BMNH is recorded as a type on their database. Box F1.
