One paralectotype, female, also with two labels: printed label “ Bolivia, Coroico, 1400m, Fassl.”, and handwritten label “ Episcepsis rotundipennis Zerny ♀ type ”.
Current combination. Episcepsis rotundipennis Zerny, 1931.
Condition of the types. Lectotype. Wings rubbed. Left antenna broken. Midlegs missing. Paralectotype. Right hindwing with a small tear near apex.
Remarks. This species was described from the two above mentioned specimens. Zerny compared it to E. frances Dyar, 1910, a species from Mexico, which is indeed remarkably similar.
