Ecpleopus lutzae Loveridge, 1944 View in CoL

( Fig. 43 View FIGURE 43 )

Current status. Placosoma cordylinum Tschudi, 1847 View in CoL . Synonymy after Uzzell (1959).

Lectotype. Adult male, MNRJ 4953 View Materials , collected by Bertha Lutz and Joaquim Venâncio in January 1937 from bromeliads at Beija-Flor River ( 22°24'S, 42°57'W [approximate]; 1,100 m asl [approximate]), Municipality of Teresópolis, State of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. GoogleMaps

Paralectotype. MCZ-R 46991 .

Remarks. This individual was designated lectotype by Soares & Fernandes (2001) because it was the only specimen from the original type series found in the MNRJ collection at that time. However, Loveridge (1944) described the species based on two syntypes, one not catalogued at MNRJ (currently MNRJ 4953, lectotype) and another one (MCZ-R 46991), which became a paralectotype following the above designation.
