Type material

Holotype (1 male; dried, on cardboard) COSTA RICA • 1 ♂ (Fig. 56); “Costa Rica / Coronado / 15.II.1931 / F. Nevermann // Holotype // Holotype // Labia ♂ / nodulosa Brindle / det. A. Brindle 1973 / holotype // ZMH 76582 ”

Paratypes (1 female; dried, on cardboard: ZMH 76583 • 4 males; in ethanol: ZMH 866031) COSTA RICA • 1 ♀ (Fig. 57); “ Costa Rica / Coronado / 15.II.1931 / F. Nevermann // Allotype // Paratypoid // Labia ♀ / nodulosa Brindle / det. A. Brindle 1973 / allotype // ZMH 76583 ” • 4 ♂; “ Costa-Rica / Coronado / 15.II.31 / F. Nevermann leg. / Eing. Nr. 164 1931. // Labia ♂ / nodulosa Brindle / det. A. Brindle 1873 / paratypes // Paratype // ZMH 866031 ” 395–396, Abb. 1, 2, Costa Rica, Coronado, 15. 2.1931, ♂, Holotype, ♀, Allotype (4).

Type locality

Costa Rica: Vázquez de Coronado.

Current status

Accepted synonym of Paralabella conspicua (Borelli, 1906).

Remarks

The four type specimens conserved in ethanol are unfortunately broken into multiple pieces. Brindle (1973) already states in the original description that the abdomen of all four are separated from the rest of the body. The current condition shows that they must have been further damaged in the past decades. As they are all housed in one glass, we fixed one ZMH-number for all individuals instead of one for each specimen.
