Leiostracus ( Leiostracus) coxeiranus View in CoL . – Köhler, 2007: 154, fig. 140.

Type locality: [ Brazil] “Caxoeira, dans la province de Bahia et dans les bois de St.-Gonzales” .

Label: “ Bahia ”, in Moricand’s handwriting.

Dimensions: “Hauteur, 33 mill.; largeur, 15 mill.”; largest figured specimen herein H 33.0, D 15.2, W 7.2.

Type material: MHNG-INVE-64548, five syntypes; 25410, two syntypes; 25416, one syntype (ex Blanchet , Moricand coll.) .

Remarks: Moricand evidently had several specimens at hand, as he recognized five different colour variations ( trizona, dizona, nigrescens, purpurascens, unicolor ), partly on the basis of subadult or juvenile specimens. These names are considered as infrasubspecific, were not adopted as valid names before 1985, and are thus unavailable ( Lingafelter & Yanega, 2012). Type material of this taxon is also present in ZMB ( Köhler, 2007) and SMF ( Neubert & Janssen, 2004).

Current systematic position: Simpulopsidae , Leiostracus coxeiranus (S. Moricand, 1836) .
