Arilus spiniceps Blanchard 1842

Arilus spiniceps Blanchard, 1842 (Fig. 2 D-G) Arilus spiniceps Blanchard, 1842: 218, pl. 29, fig. 2. TYPE SPECIMEN. — Lectotype, here designated. Bolivia • 1 ♀; 8906 34; 654; Arilus spiniceps; MNHN-EH-EH 30830. DISTRIBUTION GIVEN BY BLANCHARD. — Mojos, Bolivia. D’ORBIGNY’S CATALOGUE NOTES. — Bolivia, Mojos prov., in the branches of a tree on the Chapare River, from May to September 1831. VALID NAME. — Sindala spiniceps (Blanchard, 1842) n. comb., Sindala granuligera (Stål, 1860) n. syn. REMARKS This species had not been treated before and is recorded as Harpactorinae incerta sedis in Maldonado Capriles (1990) Reduviidae Catalogue. We are confident to assign it to the genus Sindala Stål, 1861. The comparison of this specimen with the four species included in Sindala, in particular with the male type specimen of S. granuligera (Stål, 1860) shows that they are the same species, resulting in a new synonymy.
