Zeugomantispa chlorotica

Zeugomantispa chlorotica (Navás) Fig. 2 Mantispilla chlorotica Navás, 1912: 200. Lectotype: female (ZSMC) (here designated). Type locality: Paraguay: San Bernardino. Notes. The status of this species is very similar to the previous one. It was described by Navás (1912) from San Bernardino, Paraguay, but the number of specimens used for the description is not clear (Ohl 2004). In this sense, we are herein designating the female from ZSMC, the sole specimen found here, as the lectotype. After the original description, the species was listed in Mantispa by Penny (1977) and Ohl (2004), and more recently transferred to Zeugomantispa by Snyman et al. (2018) without any justification. Herein after analyzing the lectotype we reached the same conclusion, that this species has all the diagnostic characters of Z. virescens (Rambur). In this sense, we are herein synonymizing Mantispilla chlorotica Navás, 1912 under Zeugomantispa virescens (Rambur, 1842) (new synonym).

Abstract

Zeugomantispa chlorotica (Navás) Fig. 2 Mantispilla chlorotica Navás, 1912: 200. Lectotype: female (ZSMC) (here designated). Type locality: Paraguay: San Bernardino. Notes. The status of this species is very similar to the previous one. It was described by Navás (1912) from San Bernardino, Paraguay, but the number of specimens used for the description is not clear (Ohl 2004). In this sense, we are herein designating the female from ZSMC, the sole specimen found here, as the lectotype. After the original description, the species was listed in Mantispa by Penny (1977) and Ohl (2004), and more recently transferred to Zeugomantispa by Snyman et al. (2018) without any justification. Herein after analyzing the lectotype we reached the same conclusion, that this species has all the diagnostic characters of Z. virescens (Rambur). In this sense, we are herein synonymizing Mantispilla chlorotica Navás, 1912 under Zeugomantispa virescens (Rambur, 1842) (new synonym).
