Amapacylapus labeculosus ( Bergroth, 1922) , new combination

( Figs 4, 25 )

Cylapus labeculosus: Bergroth, 1922: 4 (new species).

Cylapus (Cylapus) labeculosus: CARVALHO (1957) : 30 (catalog).

Peltidocylapus labeculosus: CARVALHO & FONTES (1968) : 276 (list); SCHUH (1995): 32 (catalog); SCHUH (2013) (catalog); GORCZYCA (2006b): 18 (catalog).

Type material (not examined). BRAZIL: AMAZONAS: ♀, “Amazonas (Fonteboa)” ( NHRS) ( Fig. 4).

Remarks. Amapacylapus labeculosus is very similar to A. amapariensis in both having practically identical dorsal coloration ( Figs 1, 2, 4, 23, 25 ) and body length and it seems very likely that they are conspecific. Further studies, including examination of the holotype of A. labeculosus , are needed to confirm or reject their synonymy.

Distribution. Brazil (Amazonas) ( BERGROTH 1922).
