Alceis curtus ( Boheman, 1833 ) Río & Lanteri, 2018

Río, M. Guadalupe Del & Lanteri, Analía A., 2018, New synonymies, new combinations and lectotype designations for weevils in the tribe Naupactini (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Entiminae), Zootaxa 4500 (3), pp. 329-340 : 331

Alceis curtus ( Boheman, 1833) , new combination

Naupactus curtus Boheman, 1833: 570–571 . Type material: lectotype female herein designated; Brazil; NHRS, col. Schoenherr. Length: 9.5 mm ( Fig. 1 )

Naupactus unicolor Boheman, 1833: 570 . Type material: not found. Originally described as variety beta of N. curtus (= N. unicolor Chevrolat in litteris). Wibmer & O’Brien, 1986: 59 included this name (omitted in previous catalogs) in the synonymy of N. curtus .

Geographic distribution: Brazil (Espirito Santo, Mato Grosso, Minas Gerais, Rio de Janeiro, Santa Catarina and São Paulo) .

Remarks: We found two female syntypes at the NHRS, one in Schoenherr’s collection and another in Chevrolat’s collection, the latter erroneously labeled as paratypus. The former is herein designated as lectotype.

Boheman (1840: 11) described three varieties of N. curtus : var. β is a male, labeled as typus, whose description does not correspond to N. curtus var. β Boheman 1833: (570); var. γ is a female erroneously labeled as allotype; and var. δ is a female labeled as typus, from Minas Gerais (this geographic record is not mentioned in the original publication) and probably belongs to another species.
