Trachysomus camelus Buquet, 1852b: 352 ( Fig. 122a, b )

Holotype, female

Type locality. French Guiana, Cayenne

Remarks. The locality stated on the specimen label ( Fig. 122b ) indicates “Essequebo,” which may refer to Essequibo River, Guyana. Although the locality indicated in the original description (Cayenne) does not match the text on the specimen label, we consider this specimen the holotype for the following reasons: the specimen in Fig. 122a bears two labels indicating it is the “type” and the specimen closely matches Buquet’s original description, including length (25 mm) and width (11 mm) measurements.
