4. Euconnus ranchoi Franz

Euconnus ranchoi Franz 1988a: 74 , fig. 17.

Euconnus ranchoensis O’Keefe , new name, for E. ranchoi Franz, 1989:43 . Etymology: The name was derived from Rancho Grande, the type locality. Franz described the senior E. ranchoi based on a single male collected from Parque Nacional Rancho Grande near Maracay, Venezuela ( Franz 1988a:74), and the junior E. ranchoi based on a single male collected from the same locality ( Franz 1989:43). The senior E. ranchoi is 0.90 mm long and 0.34 mm wide, has a 3­segmented antennal club, has two large fovea at the base of the pronotum, and has long, slender parameres ( Franz 1988a:76, fig. 17). The junior E. ranchoi is 2.00 mm long and 0.75 mm wide, has a 4­segmented antennal club, has four pits at the base of the pronotum, and the parameres are not distinguishable ( Franz 1989: 59, fig. 81). I propose E. ranchoensis as a replacement name for E. ranchoi Franz, 1989 .
