Argyripa lansbergei (Sallé, 1857)

Allorhina lansbergei Sallé, 1857: 617–618 (description; distribution), plate 13, Fig. 1 . Argyripa lansbergei: Krajčík 1998: 74 (catalog; distribution; reference); Ratcliffe 1978: 372 (key), 373 (references; synonymy), 374–375 (re-description), 375 ( Fig. 7 ).

Allorhina hypoglauca Westwood, 1874: 475 (description; distribution), plate VII, Fig. 6 ; Janson 1877a: 146 (synonymy; distribution; references); Blackwelder 1944: 261 (catalog; distribution); Krajčík 1998: 74 (catalog; synonymy).

Distribution: NICARAGUA (Blackwelder 1944): “Habitat Nicaragua. In Mus. Hopeano Oxoniae et Higgins” (Westwood 1874). COLOMBIA (Blackwelder 1944, Krajčík 1998): Sante Fe de Bogota [Type locality] (Sallé 1857, Ratcliffe 1978); Boyacá: Muzo, 1 ex. (Ratcliffe 1978); Cundinamarca: Bogotá; Fusa (Ratcliffe 1978); Meta: Villavicencio, 1 ex. (Ratcliffe 1978); Santander (Suárez-G. & Amat-García 2007). ECUADOR: Manabí: Portoviejo, 1 ex. (Ratcliffe 1978). BRAZIL (Blackwelder 1944, Krajčík 1998).

Material examined: NICARAGUA: “46” [handwritten with black ink on pink paper], 1 female [ HBBA], “ hypoglauca / Westw. / Fr.E.S. / 1874 / 475 / Nicarag.” [handwritten by Burmeister inside a black frame, pinned to the bottom of the drawer ].

Note 1: According to Janson (1877a) and Ratcliffe (1978), the type locality of A. hypoglauca , originally given as Nicaragua, is probably erroneous. Nevertheless , one specimen in the Burmeister Collection was labeled with this country.

Note 2: According to Ratcliffe (1978), Brazil (indicated by Blackwelder 1944, Schenkling 1921, and Krajčík 1998), is probably also erroneous.
