Piriana migsominea ( Gilmour, 1950) , comb.nov.

( Figs 22–23 )

Sparna migsominea Gilmour, 1950: 550 ; 1954: 78; Fuchs, 1956: 575 (key); Gilmour, 1965: 631 (cat.); Monné & Giesbert, 1994: 274 (checklist); Monné, 1995: 24 (cat.); Martínez, 2000: 97 (distr.); Monné, 2005: 356 (cat.); Monné & Hovore, 2006: 237 (checklist); Monné, 2017: 312 (cat.).

The drawing by Gilmour (1950) ( Fig. 23 ) although certainly similar to the holotype photograph ( Fig. 22 ) does show differences (narrower width of distal portion of elytra and possibly the apices as well) between them. Unfortunately, the photograph, drawings and Gilmour’s description of this species do not allow us to be certain of its’placement as a species.Consequently, the holotype male, from Colombia, may well be the only specimen of this species known.
