Dziedzickia Johannsen

HERTWIGIA Dziedzickia 1885: 166 (preocc. Schmidt 1880). Type-species, H. marginata Dziedzicki (mon.).

Dziedzickia Johannsen 1909: 44 (nom. nov. for Hertwigia Dziedzicki ). Type-species, Hertwigia marginata Dziedzicki (aut.). SYNTEMNA, authors, not Winnertz.

D. absyrta Lane 1954a: 96 , fig. 1 (♂ terminalia). Type-locality: Brazil, São Paulo, Salesópolis, Estação Ecológica de Boracéia. Holotype ♂, MZUSP.

( Figure 62 )

Notes. The type series included the male holotype, a female allotype, two male and five female paratypes. The labels with the holotype are: “HOLO- / TYPE” [printed in black on a rounded label with red border]” // “HOLOTIPO [printed in black on a rose label with black border]” // BR-S.P.: Salesópolis / (Boracea) / 14-viii-1947 / E. Rabello & Trav. F. / & J. Lane ” // Dziedzickia / absyrta [hw] / det. John Lane 195[pr]2[hw]” / “BMNH(E) # 253820”. Despite the information in the original description that the type would be in the MZUSP , the male holotype and two male paratypes were at the NHM and had collection numbers, probably sent by mistake by John Lane himself, together with other material returned or donated to the London collection. The holotype and one of the male paratypes were returned to the MZUSP ( BMNH (E) # 253821/3) and one of the male paratypes were kept at the NHM ( BMNH (E) # 253822) .

Notes. The type series included the male holotype, a female allotype and four male paratypes, of which a male paratype ( BMNH (E) # 253838) from the type-locality is at the NHM .

D. cryptura Edwards 1941: 308 . Type-locality: Brazil, Mato Grosso do Sul, Salobra. Holotype ♂, NHM.

( Figure 65 )

Notes. The type series included the male holotype and one female paratypes, both of which are at the NHM . The labels with the holotype are: “1.197” [pr]” // “ M. Grosso / Salobra / vii.1939 / Exp. C.Z.B.” // “ Brazil / J. Lane / B.M. 1939-636” // [male terminalia dissected, mounted on an acetate sheet] // “HOLO- / TYPE” [printed in black on a rounded label with red border]” // Dziedzickia / cryptura / F.W. Edwards 1939” // “ HOLOTYPE [pr] / Dziedzickia / cryptura / Edwards / det. J.E. Chainey 1996 [pr]” // “BMNH(E) / # 253811”. The distal half of the abdomen of the holotype was removed and is mounted with the terminalia. The female paratype ( BMNH (E) # 253812) and another identified specimen from the type-locality are at the NHM .

D. fiebrigi Edwards 1934: 364 . Type-locality: Paraguay, La Cordillera, San Bernardino. Holotype ♂, NHW.

( Figure 66 )

Notes. The type series included the male holotype (in the Viena Museum) and a male paratype at the NHM. The paratype at the NHM is also from the type-locality. Its labels are: “Fiebrig / Paraguay / S. Bernardino ” // “Para- / type” [printed in black on a rounded label with yellow border]” // “ HOLOTYPE / Dziedzickia / fiebrigi / F.W. Edwards 1934 ” // “BMNH(E) # / 253813”. The paratype at the NHM is well preserved and is not dissected. There are two additional specimens from Nova Teutônia identified as D. fiebrigi .

D. flavonigra Lane 1954a: 100 . Type-locality: Brazil, Santa Catarina, Nova Teutônia. Holotype ♀, NHM.

( Figure 67 )

Notes. The type series included only the female holotype. The holotype is in good condition. The right wing is missing and the terminalia was not dissected. Its labels are: “HOLO- / TYPE” [printed in black on a rounded label with red border]” // “HOLOTIPO [printed in black on a rose label with black border]” // “ Brasilien / Nova Teutonia / 27º 11’ S 52º 23’ W / Fritz Plaumann / 1.8.1938.” // “Brit. Mus. / 1938-682” // “ Dziedzickia / flavonigra [hw] / det. John Lane 1952” // “BMNH(E) # / 253837” .

D. funerea Freeman 1951: 66 , figs. 128 (♂ terminalia). Type-locality: Argentina, Río Negro, Lago Gutierrez. Holotype ♂, NHM.

( Figure 68 )

Notes. The type series included only the male holotype. The labels with the holotype are: “ Dziedzickia / funerea / Freeman. / HOLOTYPE ” [printed on red label]” // “Lago Gutierrez. / 3–14.xi.1926.” // “ Argentina: / Río Negro / F. & M. Edwards. / B.M. 1927–63.” // [part of the abdomen and the male terminalia on a microslide attached to a pinned card]” // “HOLO- / TYPE” [printed in black on a rounded label with red border]” // “BMNH(E) # / 253846”. In Papavero (1978: 24) the type-locality is incorrectly written as “Lago Correntoso”. The original description and the holotype label agree it to be “Lago Gutierrez” .

D. hypsipile Lane 1954a: 101 , fig. 7 (♂ terminalia). Type-locality: Brazil, São Paulo, Salesópolis, Estação Biológica de Boracéia. Holotype ♂, MZUSP.

Notes. The type series included the male holotype and sixteen male paratypes. There are three male paratypes at the NHM , all from the type-locality (BMNH(E) # 253814-7). There is an additional specimen without the abdomen, and missing a label with collecting site details (BMNH(E) # 253819).

D. liriope Lane 1954a: 102 . Type-locality: Brazil, São Paulo, Campos do Jordão. Holotype ♂, MZUSP.

Notes. The type series included the male holotype and seventeen male paratypes. There are two male paratypes and two other paratypes with the abdomen missing at the NHM, all of which were collected at the type-locality ( BMNH (E) # 253832-5). One of them has only a wing glued to the card. The two males are in good condition .

D. medea Lane 1954a: 103 , fig. 9 (♂ terminalia). Type-locality: Brazil, São Paulo, São Paulo (Cantareira). Holotype ♂, MZUSP.

Notes. The type series included the male holotype and ten male paratypes. There are two male paratypes in good condition at the NHM , both from the type-locality (BMNH(E) # 253824-5).

Notes. The type series included the male holotype, a female allotype, four male and two female paratypes. There is one paratype at the NHM ( BMNH (E) # 253814), with the entire abdomen missing .

D. variabilis Lane 1954a: 104 , fig. 11 (♂ terminalia). Type-locality: Brazil, São Paulo, Salesópolis, Estação Biológica de Boracéia. Holotype ♂, MZUSP.

Notes. The type series included the male holotype, a female allotype, five male and seven female paratypes. There are one male and three female paratypes in good condition at the NHM , all from localities in the State of São Paulo, but none from the type-locality ( BMNH (E) # 253826-30) .
