Cyparium testaceicorne Pic, 1931

Figs 5 , 6O–P

Cyparium testaceicorne Pic, 1931: 2 . Syntypes, MNHN; type locality: Bolivia: [Coroico].

Distribution

Bolivia.

Remarks

We received photos of the dorsal view and labels of the type (MNHN), but the specimen shown in the photos does not match the original description. The pronotum of this specimen is entirely reddish brown and 3 mm long, while in the description Pic (1931) wrote “capite antice et thorace lateraliter rufis (…) Long. 4 mill. (…) Voisin de anale Reitt. ”. The specimen on the photo better fits the description of C. collare , by its coloration (pronotum reddish brown) and length of 3 mm. We could not locate the syntypes of C. collare . The illustration of C. testaceicorne ( Fig. 5 ) provided here was based on the original description and not on the specimen shown in the available photos ( Fig. 6O ).
