Original description
“G. saltatoria, ferruginea, thorace elytrorum lunula falsciisque duabus albis. Habitat in America meridionali. D. Smidt. Mus. D. Lund. Magna. Caput ferrigineum, antennis fulcis. Thorax albus, immaculatus. Elytra laevia, brunnea, nitida, lunula baseos, margine fasciisque duabus albis. Corpus ferrugineum.”
Current status
Alagoasa lunata (Fabricius, 1801).
Measurements
Lectotype (Fig. 22): LB = 5.02 mm; WB = 3.08 mm. Paralectotype (Fig. 23): LB = 4.92 mm; WB = 2.99 mm.
Remarks
The lectotype for Galleruca lunata is designated here to have a unique bearer of this name and the standard for its application. The right antenna of the lectotype is missing segments 9–11, the rest of the specimen is intact. We confirm the correct placement in the genus Alagoasa based on the following characters: frontal ridge relatively narrow, vertex with a few punctures, sides of pronotum widely explanate, body broadly curved (see also Konstantinov et al. 2022).
