MEXICO • “TYPE [blue label, printed] \ TYPE. [printed] rhodosomus Ch [handwritten] \ LECTOTYPE [printed] Mycotretus rhodosomus Lacordaire, 1842 [red label, handwritten]”; UMZC.
Other specimens examined

Alvarenga [printed] \ Homeotipo [printed] \ Rio de janeiro, 2/1944, O. Braga [handwritten] \ 1825 [printed] \ Mycotretus rhodosomus Lac [handwritten] J.

Distribution
Mexico [?], Southeast Brazil.
Remarks
1) Although the lectotype of M. nigromaculatus (Kuhnt) was not dissected, its general morphology and colour pattern are identical to those of the lectotype of M. rhodosomus Lacordaire. Therefore, here we synonymize M. nigromaculatus (Kuhnt) under M. rhodosomus Lacordaire. 2) We observed that the type locality “ Mexico ” of M. nigromaculatus cited by Kuhnt (1909) is likely wrong. Lacordaire (1842) mentioned that the type locality of M. rhodosomus is “ Brazil ” and all individuals examined by us are from Southeast Brazil. Aside from that, there is no mention of the name “ M. rhodosomus ” in Biologia Centrali-Americana (see Gorham 1888), a work for which hundreds of erotylids from Central America and Mexico were studied.
