TYPE SPECIMENS. Platycoelia pomacea
Erichson lectotype female at ZMHB labeled a)
“11465” (typeface), b) “Type” (orange label,
typeface), c) “Pomacea (N.) Er.* Peru. Pavon.”
(green label, handwritten), d) “PLATYCOE-
LIA POMACEA ERICHSON F DET:A.B.T.
SMITH 2001 LECTOTYPE” (red label, handwritten
and typeface). Lectotype here designated.
See Methods and Materials section
for a statement of taxonomic purpose.
Erichson (1847) did not state how many specimens
were in the type series. The existence
and location of paralectotypes are unknown.
Type locality: Perú.
Platycoelia boliviensis Blanchard lectotype
male at MNHN labeled a) “6436 34”
(round, green label, handwritten on underside),
b) “P. boliviensis. Cat. Mus. Santa-Cruz.
(Bolivie). M. d’Orbigny.” (green label, handwritten),
c) “PLATYCOELIA BOLIVIENSIS
BLANCHARD M LECTOTYPE A. B. T.
SMITH 2002” (red label, handwritten and
typeface), d) “Platycoelia pomacea Erichson,
1847 M Det:A.B.T.Smith 2002” (typeface).
Lectotype here designated. See Methods
and Materials section for a statement of taxonomic
purpose. Blanchard (1851) did not indicate
how many specimens were in the type
series (although the range of lengths indicates
more than one). The location of the
paralectotype(s) is unknown. Some of
d’Orbigny’s handwritten notebooks on the
specimens in his collection are at the MNHN
library. The entry for the type series of this
name states “Areoda 1437. Melolontha. Viz
dans les grande forêt, sur les tigre de arbuste.
Je en nocturne ou au moisse crépusculaire.”
Ohaus (1904b) misapplied the name P.
boliviensis to P. peruviana. He did examine
the lectotype of P. boliviensis during his visit
to Paris during 1903, but he did not carefully
examine it or dissect the genitalia. The lectotype
of P. boliviensis is, without a doubt, P.
pomacea. Therefore I am placing these names
in synonymy. Type locality: Santa Cruz, Bolivia.
