Female holotype from PERU: checar localidade: " PERU \ Pucalipa \ Rio Ucayali \ (200 Mtr.) \ Dirings[hofen collection.] \ [reverse] JUL ...", " Erechtia \ foleata \ J. P. Fonseca det. 1969 ", "[red label] Cotypus". Doublemounted on minuten, left metathoracic leg lacking tarsomeres.

Remarks. The type series consists of a female holotype only, however, there are two conspecific females marked as types, both of which have the same collection locality, but with different dates. The listed holotype was determined based on comparison with the illustration provided in the original description, since the two specimens differ in the position of the legs. The other female (with identical labels except for “ FEV 1960 ” on the reverse side of the first label) is not considered part of the type series.
