Macraspis thomasi Soula 2005: 376( Venezuela(EO))
Distribution. Venezuela(EO): Soula 2005: 376(EO). Note. Soula (2002a: 285)mentions the name Macraspis thomasiin a remark about the various species of Rutelinaefound on a flowering shrub in eastern Venezuela. This appears to have been an accidental early remark, as there is no descriptive information regarding this species provided. Because the location, month and collector in Soula (2002a)are identical to those mentioned in the species description in Soula (2005), it may be assumed that this ecological information indeed refers to M. thomasi. The only deviating data are the names of the accompanying species, which are given as M. xanthosticta, M. lateralisand Pseudomacraspis affinisin Soula (2002a), but as M. viridisand P. affinis venezolanain Soula (2005).
