Arvelius gladiator Spinola ̡ 1837: 346 ( Figs 4 ̡ 11̡ 12)

= Arvelius albopunctatus (De Geer, 1773) ; synonymized by DISTANT (1880: 82).

Material examined. One female and one male, both in poor condition. Green label: “ Arvelius gladiator, Spin. , Cimex albopunctatus, Deg., D. Buquet , Brésil ” .

Remarks. A LECTOTYPE is herein designated for A. gladiator in order to assign a single specimen of this species as the name-bearer and thus, stabilize the nomenclature. There are two specimens labeled as A. gladiator Spinola in the MRSN, none of which is designated as a type. Therefore, the male was selected and a lectotype label was attached to its pin.

Box 13 (13-14).
