Description
Pheniulus phenotypus Chamberlin, 1943
Pheniulus phenotypus Chamberlin, 1943:30, pl. 6, figs. 59–61. Loomis, 1968a:76. Hoffman, 1999:161. Bueno-Villegas et al., 2004:589.
Type specimens. Lost. They were originally deposited in Chamberlin's private collection, which was transferred to the NMNH in 1972 after his death in 1967; however, they are not now in the type collection nor is there a record of their having been received. According to Chamberlin (1943) the type series consisted of six specimens (ɗ holotype and 2Ψ & 3 juvenile paratypes), which were collected by M. Cardenas, M. Correa, and J. Alvarez on 17 May 1942 at Oaxtepec, Morelos, Mexico.
Diagnosis. As the type species, the diagnosis of Pheniulus phenotypus will necessarily mirror that of the genus.
Habitat. The type specimens were encountered "in channels in wood" (Chamberlin 1943).
Distribution. Known only from the type locality in eastern Morelos.
Remarks. The identity of phenotypus is critical to determining the status of Pheniulus, and an adult male topotype is needed. Even though the pgs differ substantially from those in Chamberlin's drawings (1943:83, figs. 60–61) of phenotypus, I suspect that pueblanus may be congeneric because of concordance in the configurations of the ag coxal processes. However, absent more data, I do not make the formal assignment.
