Stephanocephalus cazicus Kuwert, 1891 View in CoL

Stephanocephalus cazicus Kuwert, 1891: 188 View in CoL .

One unsexed specimen:‘ Mexique [hw] // St. cazicus View in CoL / Kuwert typ / Mexico Kuw 123 / Saussure Mexico [hw Nickerl]

// Col. Nickerl / Mus. Pragense [p]’.

Remark. KUWERT (1891: 188) clearly stated that this species was described according to only one specimen: ‘Nur 1 Stück’. The above mentioned specimen is somewhat smaller (17 mm) than indicated in the primary description and is not conspecific with the holotype in Kuwert’s collection. This species was transferred to Leptaulax by KUWERT (1898b), then to Stephanocephalus ( HINCKS & DIBB 1935) , and finally back to Leptaulax . The type locality was identified as erroneous and replaced by an undetermined Asiatic region (see BOUCHER 1989). The current status of the species within Leptaulax remains to be clarified.
