REMARK

The specimen from the MNHN closely matches the illustrations of Burr (1912) and Brindle (1971d, e) specimens from West Indies (and is also identical to our specimens from Martinique, Trinité, le Galion, 21.V.2014, PD. Lucas leg., 1 female, 1 male, coll. CGIR) but differs from the original description by Dohrn (1864). As pointed out by Hebard (1920), Labia ghilianii was described based on several syntypes that may belong to different species. The type locality is from Brazil, by designation from Hebard (1920).
