Deltochilum bolivariensis [sic] González-Alvarado & Vaz-de-Mello, 2021a: 68 (original description). Type locality: Venezuela: Bolívar: Puente Cocuizas, 70 km of Ciudad Bolívar. Name-bearing type: holotype (CMNC), not examined. Note: As noted above for D. abdominale , the grammatical gender of the genus-group name Deltochilum is neither masculine nor feminine as implied by González-Alvarado & Vaz-de-Mello (2021a), but neuter. Therefore, the original spelling of the specific name as rendered by the authors, bolivariensis ‒ a two-termination New Latin adjective in the nominative case meaning ‘from Bolívar’, the Venezuelan state ‒, is incorrect and must be amended from the masculine/feminine to its neuter form, bolivariense .
