Microogenius lanterii (Soula, 2006)

Minilasiocala lanterii Soula, 2006: 143 [original combination].

Microogenius lanterii (Soula) [new combination by Moore and Jameson 2013: 380-381].

Distribution.

ARGENTINA: Jujuy ( Soula 2006).

Types.

Soula (2006) stated that the holotype was from his personal collection ("Un Mále argentin de ma collection représente”). He purposefully omitted the collector’s names (S & J Peck) from the published label data, thus allowing him to retain the unique, type specimen in his collection undetected. Based on the catalog at CMNC, this specimen unequivocally belongs at CMNC. It was returned from CCECL to its original collection at CMNC and has the following label data: 1 ♂ holotype: "ARG: Jujuy Prov, AbraPampa, 3500m 22-25. XII.87, S&JPeck sandy puna grassland carrion trap". Genitalia card-mounted underneath the male holotype.

Remarks.

Krajcik (2012, 2013) considered M. lanterii to be a member of the genus Lasiocala .
