Distribution. Neotropical Region: South America: Colombia ( HERRERA MADRIGAL 2015); Ecuador ( BOLÍVAR 1879, MONTANDON 1898, KIRKALDY & TORRE BUENO 1909, DRAKE 1952, POLHEMUS & POLHEMUS 2014).

Note. MONTANDON (1898) described Pelogonus splendidulus based on an unknown number of specimens. DRAKE & GÓMEZ- MENOR (1954) wrote: ‘type, male, in Museum d’Histoire Naturelle, Paris, and a female also labeled type (should be allotype) in British Museum of Natural History, London’. Using the term ‘type’ for one of the syntypes they used for definition of the taxon, DRAKE & GÓMEZ- MENOR (1954) fulfilled the requirements of the Article 74.5 ( ICZN 1999) and their action constitutes a valid lectotype designation.
