Rodrigues, Juliana Mourão Dos Santos, Moreira, Felipe Ferraz Figueiredo, Deckert, Jürgen & Galvão, Cleber, 2020, List of the type specimens of Triatominae (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Reduviidae) in the Hemimetabola Collection of the Museum für Naturkunde, Berlin, Zootaxa 4809 (2), pp. 329-348 : 341

protractus Uhler, 1894: 284 ; Conorhinus

( Figs. 64–67 )

Current status: Triatoma protracta ( Uhler, 1894) ; combination proposed by Neiva (1914: 58).

Non-type male ( Figs. 64–66 ) with labels ( Fig. 67 ): “Co- [hw] / type ” [red, pr] // “ Los Ange ” [hw] // “ PR Uhler / Collection” [pr] // “protractus / Uhler” [hw] // “379” [pr]

Remarks. The specimen above was mistakenly labelled as cotype, because it was not in the series originally examined by Uhler (1894), which is deposited in the National Museum of Natural History, Smithsonian Institution, Washington D.C., USA ( Lent & Wygodzinsky, 1979: 302). Uhler mentioned three specimens in the description of C. protractus : two labelled “Cal. II” and one from “Lower California (Santa Cruz?)”. He also stated that the species was common in San Diego, southern California but did not cite Los Angeles as being mentioned on the label of the type specimens. The presence of a label bearing “Los Ange” on the male specimen provides further evidence that the male specimen in the Museum für Naturkunde is not part of the type series.
