peruviana Pictet & Saussure, 1887: 352-353 [RhomaLea].

Perou. Unspecified number of ♀ .

Lectotype ♀ (designated by Roberts & Carbonell, 1982: 56) with labels: “ Pérou, M H de Saussure” [handwritten on a strip of white card]; “Rhomalea peruviana ♀ P. et S.” [handwritten on green paper]; “Rhomalea peruviana P.S., Hololectotypus [sic] ♀, C S Carbonell - 1966” [Handwritten by Carbonell on red card]. Specimen set with wings spread; the right antenna, the claw of the left hind leg and the entire right hind leg are missing. The head has a hole in it behind the right eye and the tips of the wings are lost. Another ♀ with the same data label is present and was probably part of the type series. There is also a Ƌ with the same data label, and although only female characters were mentioned in the original description, Carbonell has labelled this as a paratype. Images on OSF. Box Z 8.
