The  L. elegans type is black and partly brownish yellow; that of  L. oakleyi uniformly reddish brown. This is the main difference separating them, according to Fisher (1935). Both types were examined and compared with a series of 14 other Puerto Rican  Lamproclytus specimens, in which the range of variation in color encompasses the differences cited within the original descriptions for separating the two taxa.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/260E87977D61880CAA93FFACFC2A9ED7	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Apparently, he did not examine the type specimen of  L. puertoricensis, or he would have noticed its distinct similarity to the type of  L. nigricans . Both species were described from unique specimens. Type-specimens of the two taxa were examined and found to have similar pronotal and elytral sculpture, including the unique elytral, post-basal, setose tubercles; the proportional width of the prosternal process is similar also. Additionally, the two types were compared with a series of 41 additional specimens from Puerto Rico within which the putative type differences are encompassed.  Within this series, the relative width of the male prosternal process to the width of a procoxal cavity varies from 1: 3 to 1: 2, while in females the proportion is 1: 2 to 3: 4.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/260E87977D60880DAAA8FE2BFDAF9E73	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Typical  L. antillarum has a transverse, thin, W-shaped, whitish line at the apical one-third of the elytra (Fig. 1, b), while typical  L. albosignatus has a large, rectangular, whitish patch at the middle of the elytra (Fig. 1, c). Types of both species were examined and compared with a series of 34 Puerto Rican specimens. Within this material there is broad range of variation in the elytral color pattern, with some individuals being entirely plain (Fig. 1, a), some marked with a large, rectangular, whitish patch, and others with a transverse, thin, W-shaped, whitish line. Specimens within series from any given locality may exhibit the full range of variation.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/260E87977D60880DAAA8FCAFFCC09862	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Matrullas Dam, near Orocovis, Puerto Rico;   E. brunneus, Yauco, Puerto Rico.</p><p>Both of these species were described from single specimens. Describing  E. brunneus, the author writes, ‘‘This species is very closely allied to  oakleyi Fisher, but it differs from that species in being much smaller and more slender, and in having the tubercles on each elytron arranged in two longitudinal rows’’ (Fisher 1935). The two types were examined and compared with a series of 45  Eugamandus specimens from various localities in Puerto Rico. Within this series there is considerable variation in size, and in the arrangement and size of the elytral tubercles. Larger specimens usually have stronger tubercles; smaller specimens seem more slender. No correlation between specimen size and the arrangement of tubercles could be observed, and we consider these specimens to represent a single taxon.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/260E87977D60880EAAA8F9EEFDE69E30	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
