REMARK

A male specimen of P. flavopunctata labeled “f 289 - 291 flavopunctata” labeled in Herrich-Schäffer’s hand is housed in ZMHB. It does not match figure 289. The type locality Cayenne [ French Guiana] is probably an error because the genus Phaegoptera is not found in Guyanas. This species is probably originates from South East Brazil.
