PERU • “TYPE [blue label, printed] \ TYPE [printed],adalioides Peru.Jans.[handwritten] \ LECTOTYPE [printed], Mycotretus adalioides Crotch, 1876 [red label, handwritten]”; UMZC.

Distribution

Unknown locality in Peru.

Remarks

Mycotretus adalioides resembles Mycomystes apicalis ( Fig. 26E ) in body colour and shape ( Pecci-Maddalena et al. 2021b). More material and comparative genitalic studies are needed to verify whether M. adalioides must be transferred to Mycomystes or, on the other hand, considered a Mycotretus representative.
