Acanthoscelides vianai

Acanthoscelides vianai (Pic, 1938). Combination confirmed. Bruchus vianai Pic, 1938d: p. 78. From labels: “ Buenos Aires Argentina / Isla Martin Garcia / 6-1936 M.J. Viana ”; “ Buenos Aires Argentina / Tigre / 1938 M.J. Viana ”. Syntype female deposited in the MNHN, five syntypes deposited in the MLPA. The female specimen in Paris has a “ Holotype ” label affixed by Kingsolver. However, the original publication does not designate a holotype nor does it indicate the number of specimens examined. Because no lectotype has been published, these must therefore be all considered syntypes. Bruchus vianai: Pic (1938a), p. 20 (brief description); Cabrera & Fernández (1998), p. 4 (catalog). Acanthoscelides vianai: Blackwelder (1946), p. 761 (catalog, comb. nov.); Udayagiri & Wadhi (1989), p. 68 (catalog).
