Acanthoscelides metallicus

Acanthoscelides metallicus (Pic, 1947). Combination confirmed. Fig. 6. Bruchidius metallicus Pic, 1947: p. 3. From label: “Süd-Peru / Bei Ocana / 6.4.1936; Hbg.-Süd-Peru / Sammelreise 1936. / Eing. Nr. 1, 1937; Am Licht.” [Peru]. Syntype male deposited in the MNHN. There is a “ Lectotype ” label affixed to this specimen by J.M. Kingsolver. However, the original publication does not designate a holotype nor does it indicate the number of specimens examined. Because this lectotype has not been published, this must be considered a syntype.
