Eucranium cyclosoma Burmeister, 1861

Eucranium cyclosoma Burmeister, 1861: 60 (original description. Type locality: Ecuador).

Remarks.

This species was recorded for Ecuador by the following authors: Gemminger and Harold (1869: 983), list, distribution; Gillet (1911a: 5), complete list of species; Blackwelder (1944: 197), list of species from Latin America; Martínez (1959: 16), but the Ecuadorian record is here considered doubtful; Carvajal et al. (2011: 314-315), list of species, quoting Burmeister (1861) and Blackwelder (1944) as references; Krajcik (2012: 105), list of species.

Ocampo (2010: 14) suggested the Burmeister’s (1861) Ecuadorian record to be erroneous because the genus is endemic to Argentina. Moreover, we did not find any specimens collected in Ecuador in the collections we visited.
