RESUMO

O material-tipo de três espécies de Polietina foi examinado. Polietina flavidicincta (Stein, 1904) é redescrita com designação de um lectótipo; P. stellata (Couri, 1982) é considerada sinônimo júnior de P. flavithorax (Stein, 1904) e, para esta, designa-se um lectótipo. O neótipo designado anteriormente é invalidado.

Polietina Schnabl & Dziedzicki, 1911 is an essentially Neotropical genus, with its geographical range extending from southern United States of America (Texas) to southern South America (Argentina, Paraguay and Brazil) (CARVALHO & COURI 2002). The genus was revised by COURI & CARVALHO (1997) and, at that time, it comprised 13 species. Subsequently, other five species have been added to the genus: COURI & CARVALHO (1996) describing two species, and COURI & PAMPLONA (1997) transferring three species from Cyrtoneurina Giglio-Tos, 1893. In this paper, the type material of three species of the genus is revised and discussed.

Polietina flavidicincta (Stein, 1904) was referred by CARVALHO et al. (1993) and COURI & CARVALHO (1997) as having its type material destroyed. In fact, the male syntype deposited at Magyar Nemzeti Museum (Budapest) was destroyed in 1956 (A. C. Pont, pers. com.), however, STEIN (1904) had also deposited two female syntypes at the Museum für Naturkunde (Berlin). According to A. C. Pont (pers. com.), one of these syntypes still remains deposited at the Berlin Museum. This syntype was examined and is designated herein as lectotype and, based on it and on additional material, a redescription of the species is presented.

Similarly, the type material of P. flavithorax (Stein, 1904) had been deposited at the Budapest and Berlin museums. The syntypes deposited at the Budapest Museum was considered destroyed by CARVALHO et al. (1993) and, hence, a neotype was designated by COURI & CARVALHO (1997). When describing the species, STEIN (1904) stated that six syntypes (3 males and 3 females from Peru, Callanga) were deposited at the Budapest Museum and, apart from that material, two females (from Brazil) described as morphologically different were deposited at the Berlin Museum. The material in Budapest was destroyed in 1956, however, A. C. Pont (pers. com.) had found two syntypes (male and female) and the two Brazilian specimens in Berlin. When describing species using reasonably numerous type series, Stein used to keep some specimens in his own collection, which now is mostly at the Museum für Naturkunde, Berlin (PONT 2001). The finding of those syntypes makes the neotype designation by COURI & CARVALHO (1997) invalid (A. C. Pont, pers. com.). Those syntypes were examined and a lectotype is designated herein. Nevertheless, the invalid neotype is conspecific to the syntypes and for this reason a redescription is not required, as the species was redescribed thoroughly by COURI & CARVALHO (1997).

The purpose of the lectotype designations is to fix the identity of the names to the respective name-bearing specimens designated for P. flavidicincta and P. flavithorax, and to clarify any taxonomic doubt involving those names. Based on this statement, the lectotype designations herein can be considered valid under the ruling of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature (INTERNATIONAL COMISSION ON ZOOLOGICAL NOMENCLATURE 1999).

At last, Cyrtoneurina stellata Couri, 1982 was transferred to Polietina by COURI & PAMPLONA (1997), concomitantly with the genus revision of COURI & CARVALHO (1997). Recently, it was possible to examine the holotype deposited at the Museu Nacional, Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro (Rio de Janeiro), what showed that P. stellata should be regarded as junior synonym of P. flavithorax (Stein, 1904).

The material examined belongs to the following institutions: The Natural History Museum, London, United Kingdom (BMNH); Colección Boliviana de Fauna, La Paz, Bolivia (CBFC); Coleção de Entomologia "Pe. J. S. Moure", Departamento de Zoologia, Universidade Federal do Paraná, Curitiba, Brazil (DZUP); Museu Nacional, Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil (MNRJ); Museu de Zoologia, Universidade de São Paulo, São Paulo, Brazil (MZSP); Museo de Historia Natural "Noel Kempff Mercado", Santa Cruz de la Sierra, Bolivia (UASC); Museum für Naturkunde, Humboldt-Universität, Berlin, Germany (ZMHU).

Type material. Lectotype female, by present designation, deposited at ZMHU and labelled as follows: "Cordill. v. Collumbien/ terra templada/ Thieme S." [light green label]; "13859" [on underside of label]; "Type" [light red label]; "Zool. Mus./ Berlin"; with an added label "LECTOTYPE / Polietina flavidicincta/ (STEIN, 1904)/ des. S.S. Nihei 2004". The second female syntype mentioned by STEIN (1904) is missing.

Stein's additional material at ZMHU: there are also one female from Bolivia, Mapiri, Lorenzopata, 2000 m, 9.V.1903, and one male (with the abdomen dissected and described herein) from the same locality but collected on 11.V.1903. Although clearly labelled as types by STEIN, these two specimens do not belong to the syntypes' series examined by STEIN (1904); the male is part of the material studied by STEIN (1911). Together with this material, there is also one female (with the abdomen dissected and described herein) from Colombia (no additional collecting data), labelled by STEIN. All the three specimens are conspecific to the lectotype. The dissected specimens had their abdomens conditioned in a micro-vial with glycerine pinned together with the respective specimen.

Morphological variation. Some significant variations were noted which should be reported here. On the ventral surface of the cercal plate, the number of spines of the median spined process, in some specimens with less spines than others (see Fig. 10 from COURI & PAMPLONA 1997 and Fig. 16 from COURI & CARVALHO 1997). The number of spines varyes among the individuals, and even in the same individual the number of spines can be different on each side of the cercal plate.

With regard to colouration, variation mainly in the thorax and legs was observed. Apart from the humeral callus (always yellowish), the thorax varyes dorsally from yellow to brown mainly in the middle, and laterally from yellow to brownish yellow. The forelegs are always yellow; the midlegs entirely yellow, or yellow with the apex of the femur darker, or entirely brownish; the hindlegs varying as the midlegs. This variation has no correlation with the geographic distribution of the studied specimens, with some variation occurring in specimens from a same locality. Such a similar variation was observed in P. orbitalis (pers. obs.).

Type material of P. flavithorax. Lectotype male, by present designation, deposited at ZMHU and labelled as follows: "Peru/ Callanga."; "Type" [light red label]; "Phaonia/ flavithorax/ Type Stein / det. Stein" [Stein's handwriting]; and one label added "LECTOTYPE / Polietina flavithorax/ (Stein, 1904)/ des. S.S. Nihei 2003". Specimen in good condition. Paralectotype: 1 female (ZMHU) labelled as the lectotype, but an added label: "PARALECTOTYPE / Polietina flavithorax/ (Stein, 1904)/ des. S.S. Nihei 2003". Specimen in good condition. Both specimens placed with an lateral label at its right side "SYNTYPE 1 1/ Aricia/ flavithorax Stein/ Conf. A.C. Pont 1999".

Stein's additional material at ZMHU: 1 female labelled "Brasil. Beyrich"; "5150"; "Mus./ Berol."; "Aricia/ flavithorax/ Stein" [Stein's handwriting]; and 1 female labelled "Brasilien/ Beyrich"; "Mus./ Berol.". These two specimens were referred to by STEIN (1904) but only to comment about some morphological variation observed. Also, 1 male labelled "Peru-Urubambafl./ 11.IX.03/ Umahuankilia"; "flavithorax/ Type Stein" [Stein's handwriting]; and 1 female labelled "Peru-Meshagua/ 28.IX.03/ Urubamba"; "Phaonia/ flavithorax/ Type / det. Stein" [Stein's handwriting]. Although clearly labelled as types, these two specimens do not belong to the syntypes' series examined by STEIN (1904), they consist in the very same material studied and listed in STEIN (1911).

Type material of P. stellata. Holotype male of P. stellata deposited at the MNRJ and labelled as follows: "Repr. Rio Grande/ Rio de Janeiro/ Brasil"; "F.M.Oliveira/ vii.72"; "Holótipo"; "Polietina stellata/ (Couri, 1982)/ Pamplona & Couri det."; "Cyrtoneurina stellata/ Couri/ M.S.Couri det." [Couri's handwriting]. Specimen in reasonable conditions, with the left wing broken and the left fore and midlegs lacking; the abdomen dissected and conditioned in a micro-vial with glycerine pinned separately from the specimen.
