Xenodon hemileucurus Lutz & Mello, 1922a View in CoL

( Fig. 37 View FIGURE 37 )

Current status. Xenodon neuwiedii Günther, 1863 View in CoL . Synonymy after Amaral (1929b).

Lectotype. Adult female, MNRJ 404 View Materials , Theophilo Theotonio leg., from the Municipality of São Simão do Manhuassú , currently Municipality of Simonésia ( 20º07'26"S, 42º00'03" [approximate]; 580 m asl [approximate]) State of Minas Gerais, Brazil.

Remarks. Lectotype ( 636 mm SVL), no tissue samples available. Three syntypes are mentioned in the original description, but two of them are apparently lost. The MNRJ 404 was designated lectotype by Soares & Fernandes (2001) because it was the only specimen from the original type series found at that time in the MNRJ collection. The two remain specimens (unknown numbers, since cataloging started only at 1940’s), if located, are paralectotypes.
