Chondrocera foliaceata Blanchard 1844
Abstract
Chondrocera foliaceata Blanchard, 1844 Chondrocera foliaceata Blanchard, 1844: 220, pl. 30, fig. 4. DISTRIBUTION GIVEN BY BLANCHARD. — Guarayos, Bolivia. VALID NAME. — Plapigus foliaceatus (Blanchard, 1844) (Stål 1866). REMARKS We were unable to find specimens of this species collected by d’Orbigny in the collection of the MNHN. This is a little-known species, with only a few mentions in the literature, and it seems that no other author has seen the specimen(s) used to describe the species by Blanchard. Stål (1866) transferred this species to the genus Plapigus Stål, 1860b but referring to a specimen from Guérin’s collection that he also described.
