Pseudopothea paulai Gil-Santana 2015
Authors/Creators
Description
(Fig. 2)
Material examined. Pseudopothea paulai. ECUADOR. 1 female: [Printed labels:] ECUADOR, / Napo, Coca. / xi. xii. 1982 / G. Onore // Tropical rainforest / general collecting // Brit. Mus. / 1982–246 [BMNH].
Pseudopothea paulai was described based on a male (holotype) and a female paratype from Brazil (Gil-Santana 2015). Unfortunately, the male holotype was destroyed on the 2 nd of September 2018, during the fire which destroyed most of the zoological collections, including the entire Heteroptera collection of the MNRJ (Escobar 2018). The female paratype, however, is deposited in the MZUSP (Carrenho et al. 2020). The female from Ecuador, deposited in BMNH collection (Fig. 2), is very similar to the paratype (Gil-Santana 2015: fig. 22).
Distribution. Brazil, Ecuador (new record).
