Description

binotatus (Asopus) Walker 1867a:144–145. [Fig. 23]

Original data: “a. Brazil. From Mr. Vigors’ collection.” [holotype]

HOLOTYPE ♀: red-margined holotype disc; green-margined type disc; “ Brazil.”; “Brazil as a locality is erroneous. [Distant’s handwriting]”; “2. ASOPUS BINOTATUS.”; “59. 57 Vigors’ Coll.”; “NHMUK 010592411”. Right antenna, fourth and fifth left antennomeres, and left posterior leg missing (Fig. 23).

Current status: Cermatulus nasalis nasalis (Westwood, 1837) (synonymised by Distant 1900a: 55, 63; see Schouteden 1907: 67; Woodward 1953: 317–318).

Note: Walker (1867a: 144–145) described this species from Brazil, but Distant (1900a: 55, as well as on the label) indicated that the locality mentioned by Walker was erroneous. Thomas (1994: 172) mentioned this information as well.
