Aphengium cupreum Shipp 1897

Description

§ Aphengium cupreum Shipp, 1897

Aphengium cupreum Shipp 1897b: 187 (Brazil)

Distribution. Brazil (NA): Shipp 1897b: 187; Gillet 1911b: 49; Blackwelder 1944: 203; Vaz-de-Mello 2000: 190; Ratcliffe 2013b: 493 (NA); Silva and Vaz-de-Mello 2015: 509.

Note. Based on the distributional information in Silva and Vaz-de-Mello (2015: 509), the record of Aphengium cupreum from just north of the Amazon main channel in the state of Amazonas in northern Brazil given in Ratcliffe (2013b: 493) is based on an incorrect identification. This species appears to be restricted to the Brazilian Atlantic Forest and does not occur in the research area.
