Poeciloderrhis imperialis Rocha e Silva & Jurberg, 1978 View in CoL

The species was described by Rocha e Silva & Jurberg in 1978 and compared to P. proxima Brunner von Wattenwyl, 1865 , differing in details of coloration, size and genitalia of the male. The entire entomological collection of Blattodea was examined but no specimen designated as a holotype was found, which led us designate as neotype a specimen examined from the same locality ( Fig. 32). The exemplar exhibits a pronotum with a central dark brown to black mark, and the basal portion of the tegminal discoidal and anal fields have black pigmentation. In addition, the neotype was collected in a bromeliad, the same habitat originally reported for the original type specimen. The genitalia of the neotype are identical to those of the lost holotype. identical genitalia.
