Description

Canthidium steinheili Harold, 1880

Canthidium steinheili Harold, 1880: 19 (original description). Type locality: Colombia: Cundinamarca: La Mesa and Paime. Name-bearing type: two known syntypes (MNHN), examined by FZVM. In accordance with Article 72.4.1 of the Code (ICZN 1999), the material examined by Harold (1880) from San Carlos, in the Colombian department of Antioquia, is not part of the type series because the author expressly assigned it to a variety of the species different from the “forma typica” from La Mesa and Paime. FZVM found one of the San Carlos specimens ‒ perhaps the sole one ‒ in the MNHN along with the two syntypes.

Canthon steinheili – Roze 1955: 43 (list).

Distribution

Supposedly Colombia and Venezuela (Cupello 2018; Schoolmeesters 2023).
