Historical background of Roquettea View in CoL . Mello-Leitão (1931) described the genus Roquettea View in CoL with the type species Roquettea singularis View in CoL from Utinga (Pará state). Almost at the same time, Sørensen (1932) described the genus Tetracyphus View in CoL with the type species Tetracyphus mirabilis Sørensen from Cametá (Pará State, Brazil). Mello-Leitão (1933) synonymized both species and accordingly, their monotypic genera. Later, Ferreira & Kury (2010) made a revision of the genus and described three new Brazilian species, Roquettea jalapensis View in CoL from Mateiros (Tocantins State), Roquettea taurina View in CoL from Taquaruçú (Tocantins State) and Roquettea scrotalis View in CoL from Ferreira Gomes (Amapá State).
