Naupactus condecoratus Boheman, 1840 View in CoL

Naupactus condecoratus Boheman, 1840: 38–39 View in CoL . Type material: lectotype female herein designated; Brazil; NHRS, col. Schoenherr. Length: 12 mm ( Fig. 15 View FIGURES 10–20 ).

Naupactus bosqi Hustache, 1947: 80–81 View in CoL . Type material: holotype male; Argentina, Corrientes, Santo Tomé, X–1925; NMNH, col. Hustache. Length: 12 mm ( Fig. 16 View FIGURES 10–20 ). New synonymy.

Geographic distribution: Northeastern Argentina (Misiones and Corrientes) , Brazil ( Paraná, Rio de Janeiro, Santa Catarina and São Paulo) and Paraguay ( Itapúa) .

Remarks: The morphological differences between N. condecoratus ( type female) and N. bosqi ( type male) are due to sexual dimorphism and color variation. In the type of N. condecoratus the scaly vestiture is green and in the variety β is purple to copper-colored, same as in the type of N. bosqi . The females from Argentina and Paraguay show a slightly wider pronotum than those from Brazil.
