striolatus Brunner von Wattenwyl, 1878: 366-367 [Peucestes].

Pernambuco (Mus. Genf), Bahia (Mus. Wien & coll. Brunner no 5731); Panama (Mus. Wien); Peru (coll. Brunner no 11248). More than one ♁ and ♀ .

Three ♀, possibly syntypes. A ♀ with labels: “Amer. merid, coll. Jurine ” [handwritten on ruled white card]; “Peucestes striolatus Brunn. ” [handwritten on green paper]; “ TYPE BRUNN ” [printed on a strip of white paper]; “ Geneva ” [typewritten on a strip of yellow paper]; “ Cnemidophyllum citrifolium (Linnaeus, 1758), Det. M. G. Emsley, 1969” [printed on white card]. Specimen set with wings folded; the antennae, both front legs and both middle legs are missing. The left hind leg lacks the claws, the right hind leg is detached and pinned through the femur on a separate pin, and lacks the last tarsal segment. The terminalia are detached and placed in a vial secured by a separate pin. A ♀ with label: “Peucestes striolatus Brun. ” [handwritten on green paper]. The species name label in the insect box has the locality “Amer. mérid.” written in the lower left corner. Specimen set with wings folded; most of both antennae are missing, the left front leg has lost the tibia and tarsi, the right front and middle leg have lost the tarsi. A ♀ with label: “Peucestes striolatus Brun. ” [handwritten on green paper]. The species name label in the insect box has the locality “Amer. mérid.” written in the lower left corner. Specimen set with wings spread; both antennae are lost, the left front leg lacks the tarsi and the left hind leg has lost the last tarsal segment. Although the original description included the MHNG as a depository of type material none of the specimens has the precise locality given in the original description. Emsley (1970: 194) considered the specimen from Jurine’s collection to be a syntype, presumably on the basis of the “ TYPE BRUNN ” label. Box B26 .
