Charidea obsoleta Burmeister, 1878: 516 Current identity. Episcepsis obsoleta( Burmeister, 1878)
TypeMaterial. Typematerial possibly lost or destroyed. Typelocality and label information.[ Argentina] There is no information about typelocality nor typespecimen in the original description ( Burmeister 1878). MACN.The typematerial of this species was not found in MACN.
Remarks. Burmeister (1878)did not mention where the material was deposited, he only mentioned habitus and color pattern. Interestingly, Hampson (1898)provides a drawing of the species, with the analysis of two males and one female and he even mentions the collector (Leech). There are two specimens corresponding to this collector in the collection of the National History Museum United Kingdom, with old labels corresponding to Hampson time. These specimens studied by Hampson are very likely not from the original description as there is no mention of the collector in the Burmeister’s description.
Charidea rubricincta Burmeister, 1878: 386 ( Fig. 9) Current identity. Euclera rubricincta( Burmeister, 1878)
Type Material.Undisclosed number of syntypes. Type locality and label information.Male lectotypewith the following labels: “[ Argentina], Buen[os]. Ay[i]res.”; “ rubricinctaBurm[eister].”; [ ♂]; “MACN-En 32740” (new catalogue number of Aurora). MACN.One male syntypein very good condition.
Remarks.The only specimen found matches with the type locality and habitus of the species. The kind of label of the locality is the one that Burmeister frequently used. Gerardo Lamas previously labeled this specimen as holotype: “ HOLOTYPE, Charidea rubricincta Burmeister, 1878, G[erardo]. LAMAS det[ermined]. 2004”. However, there is no mention of the number of specimens examined. For this reason, we did not consider this specimen as holotypeand proposed hereby to designate the male specimen as lectotypein [MACN] with a red label with the inscription: “ Lectotype ♂ Charidea rubricinctaBurmeisterdesignated by Beccacece & Rodríguez-Ramírez”.
Eurata frigida Burmeister, 1878: 516 ( Fig. 10) Current identity. Clystea frigida( Burmeister, 1878)
Type Material.Undisclosed number of syntypes. Type locality and label information.Male lectotypewith the following labels: “Typus”, “ ARGENTINA, Environs, B[ueno]S. AIRES”; “44858” (old catalogue number); “Col[lection]. Ruschew[eyh].”; “MACN-En 32193” (new catalogue number of Aurora). MACN.A male syntypein moderate condition because it does not have the right antenna.
Remarks.This species was changed to different genus and now is included into ClysteaWatson, 1980. Here, we propose to designate the male specimen found as lectotypein [MACN] with a red label with the inscription “ Lectotype ♂ Eurata frigidaBurmeisterdesignated by Beccacece & Rodríguez-Ramírez”.
Eurata hermione Burmeister, 1878: 380 ( Fig. 11) Current identity. Eurata hermione Burmeister, 1878
Type Material.Undisclosed number of syntypes. Type locality and label information.Male lectotypewith the following labels: “[ Argentina], Mendoza”; “ HermioneBurm[eister]. R[epública]. A[rgentina].”; “MACN-En 33087” (new catalogue number of Aurora). Male paralectotypewith the following labels: “[ Argentina], Mendoza”; “MACN-En 33088” (new catalogue number of Aurora). Female paralectotypewith the following labels: “[ Argentina, Entre Ríos], Paraná”; “MACN-En 33089” (new catalogue number of Aurora). MACN. Twomales from Mendozain good condition with the distal part of antennae broken. Onefemale from Paraná[ Entre Ríos, Argentina] in bad condition, the antennae are missing and the abdomen is broken.
Remarks. Burmeister (1878)in the original description did not comment on the number of specimens. For this reason, we propose hereby to designate the male specimen from Mendoza(see Fig. 11) as lectotypein [MACN] with a red label with the inscription “ Lectotype ♂ Eurata hermioneBurmeisterdesignated by Beccacece & Rodríguez- Ramírez”.
Eurata igniventris Burmeister, 1878: 378 ( Fig. 12) Current identity. Eurata igniventris Burmeister, 1878 Type Material. Holotypewithout indication of sex in the original description.
Type locality and label information.Male holotypewith the following labels: “ ARGENTINA, CORDOBA”; “#44978” (old catalogue number); “ HOLOTYPUS”; “Col[lection]. Antigua”; “MACN-En 34203” (new catalogue number of Aurora). MACN.The male holotypeis housed at MACN. The specimen is in moderate to bad condition because the apex of the left forewing is missing and the antennae are broken.
Remarks.The holotypewas found in the Orfila collection. This author made a review of EurataHerrich- Schäffer, [1853] and moved this specimen to his collection (Orfila 1931). The labels and characteristics of the specimen confirm that it is the holotype.
Eurata patagiata Burmeister, 1878: 379 ( Fig. 13) Current identity. Eurata patagiata Burmeister, 1878
Type Material.Undisclosed number of syntypesfrom [province of Entre Ríos], Paraná and [province of] Córdoba, Argentina. Typelocality and label information.Male specimen with the following labels: “[ Argentina, Entre Ríos, Departamento de Paraná], Paraná”; “ patagiataBurm[eister]. R[epública]. A[rgentina].”; “MACN-En 33090” (new catalogue number of Aurora). MACN.The only syntypefound is in bad condition, without antennae and the left forewing is discolored and apex broken.
Remarks.There was another specimen in the drawer near to the only syntypefound, however this specimen does not bear labels except a small flag of Argentina. The male specimen from Paraná (see Fig. 13) is designated as the lectotypein [MACN] with a red label with the inscription “ Lectotype ♂ Eurata patagiataBurmeisterdesignated by Beccacece & Rodríguez-Ramírez”. According to Orfila (1931) there were two types in MACN.
Glaucopis myrrhine Burmeister, 1878: 375 ( Fig. 14) Current identity. Pseudohyaleucerea vulnerata(Butler, 1875)
Type Material. Holotypefrom Buenos Aires, Argentina, without indication of sex in the original description. Type locality and label information.Male specimen with the following labels: “Typus”; “[ Argentina], Buenos Aires”; “ MyrrhineBurm[eister]. Rep[ública]. Arg[entina].”; [leg. Ed. Aguirre] (information from original description only); “ HOLOTYPUS”; “MACN-En 33190” (new catalogue number of Aurora). MACN.The holotypeis in bad condition because the wings are discolored and the outer margin of the right forewing is broken.
Remarks.The holotypeis a male and the present senior synonymy is correct for us. Gerardo Lamas also determined this species as holotypeand labeled: “ HOLOTYPE, Glaucopis myrrhine Burmeister, 1878, G[erardo] LAMAS det[ermined]. 2004”
Pseudosphex polybioides Burmeister, 1878: 372 ( Fig. 15) Current identity. Myrmecopsis polybioides( Burmeister, 1878)
Type Material. Holotypewithout indication of sex in the original description. Type locality and label information.Male specimen with the following labels: “[ Argentina], [ Buenos Aires], [Baradero], [leg. Lynch, Félix]” (information from original description only); “ PseudosphexHubn[er].”; “ polybioidesBurm[eister]. Rep[ública]. Arg[entina].”; “ HOLOTYPUS”; “MACN-En 33086” (new catalogue number of Aurora). MACN.The male holotypeis housed at MACN. The type specimen does not have the left antenna.
Remarks.The holotypewas collected in northern Buenos Aires, Argentina, more specifically Santiago de Baradero. The holotypeis not labeled with information of locality but it has a main label with the specific name and matches with Burmeister’s labels format ( Beccacece et al. 2014). Previously, Gerardo Lamas also determined this species as holotypeand labeled: “ HOLOTYPE, Pseudosphex polybioides Burmeister, 1878G[erardo]. LAMAS det[ermined]. 2004”
Charidea pretiosa Burmeister, 1880: 59 ( Fig. 16) Current identity. Cyanopepla pretiosa( Burmeister, 1880)
Type Material.Undisclosed number of syntypes. Typelocality and label information. Malespecimen with the following labels: “[ Argentina], Tucumán”; “ preciosaBurm[eister]. Rep[ública]. Arg[entina].”; “MACN-En 32741” (new catalogue number of Aurora). MACN.One male is in good condition and matches with the original description.
Remarks.Gerardo Lamas previously labeled this specimen as holotype: “ HOLOTYPE, Charidea pretiosaBurmeister, 1880, G[erardo] LAMAS det[ermined]. 2004”. However, there is no mention of the number of specimens examined. For this reason, we propose hereby to designate the male specimen as the lectotypein [MACN] with a red label with the inscription “ Lectotype ♂ Charidea pretiosaBurmeisterdesignated by Beccacece & Rodríguez- Ramírez”. This species is similar to Cyanopepla hurama(Butler, 1876)described from Ecuadorand Cyanopepla subgloriosa(Staudinger, 1894).
Glaucopis leucostalacta Burmeister, 1880: 59 ( Fig. 17) Current identity. Homoeocera acuminata(Walker, 1856)
Type Material.Undisclosed number of syntypes. Typelocality and label information.Male specimen with the following labels: “[ Argentina], Prov[incia]. B[ueno]s. A[ire]s.”; “ leucostictaBurm[eister]., Buen[os]. Air[es].”; “MACN-En 33091” (new catalogue number of Aurora). MACN.A male syntypein good condition, the distal part of antennae are lost.
Remarks.Gerardo Lamas previously labeled this specimen as holotype: “ HOLOTYPE, Glaucopis leucostalacta Burmeister, 1880G[erardo]. LAMAS det[ermined]. 2004”. However, in the original description Burmeister (1880)did not mention the sex of the specimen nor the number of specimens observed, only that the species was donated by M. Henri Lynch. For this reason, wehereby designate the male specimen from Buenos Aires(see Fig. 17) as lectotypein [MACN] with a red label with the inscription “ Lectotype ♂ Glaucopis leucostalactaBurmeisterdesignated by Beccacece & Rodríguez-Ramírez”.
Halysidota mundula Berg, 1882: 216 Current identity. Gloora mundula( Berg, 1882)
Type Material.Female holotype. Type material possibly lost or destroyed. Typelocality and label information.[ Argentina, Corrientes, 1876] (information of localities from original description only). MACN.The typematerial of this species was not found in MACN.

Margarita, de Windmüller]; “ PARATYPUS”; “MACN-En 34202” (new catalogue number of Aurora). MACN.One female holotypein bad condition without the head, left forewing and left hind wing. One male paratypewith broken antennae.
Remarks.The holotypeis deposited in Burmeister’s collection. A third specimen was found, but given that it was not mentioned in the original description, it cannot be part of the type series.
Eurota (sic) cosquinensis Giacomelli, 1928: 679. Current identity. Leucotmemis pleuraemata paranensisSchrottky, 1910
TypeMaterial.Description based on a single specimen. Typematerial possibly lost or destroyed. Typelocality and label information.[ Argentina, Córdoba, Cosquín, Calle Rioja] (information of localities from original description only). MACN.The typematerial of this species was not found in MACN.
Remarks. Giacomelli (1928)did not mention where the typematerial was deposited. Orfila (1931) proposed for this species the corresponding synonymy with Leucotmemis pleuraemata paranensisSchrottky, 1910.
