5. Cladomorphus rubus (Saussure, 1861: 128) [ Cladoxerus ]. LT [by present designation], ♀: ♀, Brésil; Phibalosomarubus Sauss. [ MHNG]; PLT, ♀: Phibalosoma rubus [ MHNG]; PLT, ♀: Nymphe , Brésil;189/51; Phibalosoma rubus Sauss. [ MHNG]. ( Figs. 15D , 16E , 18E–G , 83A , 90B )

Remarks: The most complete specimen of the three ♀ syntypes of C. rubus in MHNG is here selected as the LT to guarantee stability of Saussure’s species.
