Trichadenotecnum pichincha New & Thornton

Trichadenotecnum pichincha New & Thornton, 1975: 73 , figs. 167-174.

Paratypes: two males and three specimens without sex identified. Ecuador: mts N.W. of Quito, 3,350 m., beating, 16.II.1967, (I.W.B.T.).

Condition of the two male paratypes: male 1, specimen not dissected, resected, stored in a separate micro eppendorf with ethanol (№ 536); male 2, specimen not dissected, extremely resected, stored in a separate

micro eppendorf with ethanol (№ 531). The two micro eppendorfs stocked in a glass bottle with ethanol (MZSP 000226).

Condition of three paratypes without sex identified: specimen 1, without abdomen, stored in a separate micro eppendorf with ethanol (№ 535); specimen 2, without abdomen and wings, stored in a separate micro eppendorf with ethanol (№ 533); specimen 3, only with a small part of the thorax and the right wings, stored in a separate micro eppendorf with ethanol (№ 534). The three micro eppendorfs stored inside the glass bottle mentioned above ( MZSP 000226 ) .

Comments: In the original paper the authors chose 8 male and 4 female specimens as paratypes. For this reason, it is not possible to deduce the sex of the specimens without abdomen mentioned above. Probably the paratype specimens without identification of sex were mounted on slides, not found.
