Dorynota (Dorynota) hastifera ( Spaeth, 1923) ( Figs. 11–12 , 44 )

Batonota hastifera Spaeth, 1923: 71 (type locality: ‘Bahia’).

Type Material Examined. Holotype, pinned: ‘ Bahia [hw by Spaeth] ∣ Brasil [w, p, cb] ∥ ex coll. ∣ v d. Poll [w, p, cb] ∥ hastifera [hw] ∣ Typus [hw] ∣ Spaeth det. [w, p, cb] ∥ TYPUS [pink, p, cb] ∥ M/ CR MUS. ∣ SPAETH COLL. [w, p, cb] ∥ Manchester Museum ∣ SYNTYPE [b, p, cb]’ ( MMUE) .

Diagnosis. See diagnosis under D. pugionata .

Remarks. Spaeth (1923) described D. hastifera from two specimens, one from Bahia and the

other from Colombia. As the second specimen is conspecific with the holotype but does not have more precise locality data and as no species of this group occur in Colombia, we consider this record as dubious and quite likely the specimen was mislabeled .

Distribution. Brazil (Bahia) and Colombia [?] ( Spaeth 1923) ( Fig. 44 ).
