Current Status. Valid species ( Sekerka 2016).
Remarks. Spaeth (1916) described A. boliviana based on a series of specimens deposited in the MTD, the MCSNG, and his own collection, but he did not clearly state which specimen was the type. Based on the study of Spaeth’ s collection, a common practice was to select one specimen of each sex as a “type” and label the remaining specimens as cotypes. Therefore, these cannot be considered holotype and paratypes, but syntypes.
The ZMH holds two syntypes of A. boliviana . The female specimen originated from Van den Poll’ s collection, part of which was purchased by Spaeth. The male specimen originated from the MTD collection, and there are four more specimens collected by W. Schnuse in the MM collection. Thus, the ZMH male specimen could have been exchanged either by Spaeth or by the MTD. We have studied the series and found that it is consistent. There is, therefore, no current need for a lectotype designation .
Until now, the description was considered to have been published in 1915. However, it appeared in the second issue of Volume 76 (for the year 1915) of Stettiner Entomologische Zeitung, which was published on 31 March 1916. Hence, the year is changed here accordingly.
