Description

Azteca aurita Emery, 1893

{A. lacrymosa Forel, 1899} 3 ancient syntypes of a mixed type series (☿), which have lost their syntypical status: “ A. lacrymosa ☿ Forel type Esperanza, Colombie ([leg.] Forel) ...arton [illegible]”. Longino (2007) revised the Azteca aurita -species group, and designated lectotypes. The syntype series is a mixed one and consists of two species: Azteca pilosula Forel, 1899 and A. aurita, to which the Columbian specimens are assigned nowadays.
