Figs 38–40

Lychnogaster cinctus Motschulsky, 1854a: 8 .

Type material examined

Paralectotype (designated here) BRAZIL • sex undetermined; “ Lychnogaster ,, cinctus M.” [E. Olivier handwriting]// “typ”// “cinctus ,, Motsch” // “Brasil mer.”; ZIN.

Preservation status

Significantly damaged: broken elytra, lacking antennae, one mesoleg, two metalegs, and the abdomen.

Remarks

Kazantsev & Nikitsky (2008) designated a lectotype from ZMMU. Thus, the ZIN specimen is a paralectotype. The original description lists “ Brazil ” as the type locality of Lychnogaster cinctus , whereas the ZIN paralectotype examined here has a label saying “ Brasil. Mer.”, interpreted here as Southern Brazil.

Current status

Lucidota cincta ( Motschulsky, 1854a) .
