Amphithasus elegans ( Dejean, 1831) View in CoL Anchomenus elegans Dejean 1831: 725 View in CoL .

This species was placed in “ Amphitasus View in CoL ” by Lorenz (1998). We have not seen the type (MNHN).

View in CoL (Sp., v, 725) belongs also to the genus.” referring to Amphithasus View in CoL . The holotype is from Cartagena, Colombia, but it was not found by DHK among lachnophorines in MNHN during his visit in 2016. We suggest it may be among the platynines rather
