Semiclivina (Uroclivina) urophthalmoides (Kult, 1947)

Clivina (Semiclivina) urophthalmoides Kult 1947: 34 -35; Van Emden 1949: 861-863; Lorenz 2005: 145; Bousquet 2009: 41

Type locality.

Brazil, Mato Grosso, Corumba

Holotype.

original series from the same locality, about 30 specimens, holotype in the author’s collection (collection Kult in CDW), paratypes in the collections of ETHZ, IRSNB, MNHN, ZMHB: Kult 1947: 35

Geographical distribution.

known from type locality only: Brazil, Matto Grosso, Corumba

Material examined.

1 ♂, Holotype with red label “TYPE” and a handwritten determination label " Semiclivina urophthalmoides KT." det. K. Kult 1946, Corumba, Matt. Grosso, (CDW)

Annotation.

in the collection of Karel Kult this species is represented by the Holotype (see above for details) and 2 males, 1 female, Corumba, Matt. Grosso, with the labels in red “COTYPE”, without determination labels; 3 males, Corumba, Matt. Grosso, one with the handwritten determination label " Clivina urophthalmoides m." det. K. Kult [without year], most likely also Paratypes of Semiclivina urophthalmoides (Kult, 1947), but not indicated as such; 2 Ex., Argentine Republic, Villa Ana, F.C.S. Fe, December 1924, K.J. Hayward, Paratype Clivina marquardti Van Emden; 1 female, ditto, January 1926; 1 female, ditto, December 1925, at light; 2 Ex. Paraguay, S. Antonio, with a red printed label "Compared with Type, K. Kult, 1950". It is noticeable, that the individual labeled as Type is much smaller (4.3 mm) than the other ones. This led to the investigation of the other Semiclivina urophthalmoides (Kult, 1947) specimens with dissection of genitalia and abdomen. The result of this investigation was that all other specimens mentioned above except the Holotype, are markedly different (see Figs. 6a-d, 7a-d) and belong to another species, which is described above as Semiclivina (Uroclivina) bergeri . The differentiation of these two species is given in the key.
