Hemilophus albicollis Laporte, 1840: 488 View in CoL .

Remarks. – This species was described based on a single specimen from French Guiana. Currently it is known from Costa Rica, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, French Guiana, and Brazil (Amazonas, Pará, Mato Grosso) ( Monné 2023b; Tavakilian & Chevillotte 2022). Isomerida albicollis shows great chromatic variation. According to Martins & Galileo (2014b) (translated): “We found in this species variability in the color of the elytral integument, in the presence or absence of dark regions on the pronotum, and in the distribution of the white pubescence that covers the abdominal ventrites. We could not conclude whether this variability indicates forms of the same species (most likely) or closely related species.”
