§ Dichotomius (Luederwaldtinia) irinus (Harold, 1867)

Pinotus irinus Harold 1867d: 97 (Brazil - LECTOTYPE)

Distribution. French Guiana: Harold 1867d: 97 (as Pinotus irinus). “Guianas”: Gillet 1911b: 61 (as Pinotus irinus); Blackwelder 1944: 207 (as Pinotus irinus). Brazil: Blackwelder 1944: 207 (as Pinotus irinus); Vaz-de-Mello 2000: 193; Valois et al. 2017: 511 (designation LECTOTYPE Pinotus irinus).

Note. According to Valois et al. (2017: 511), Dichotomius irinus is restricted to the Brazilian Atlantic Forest and Restinga, with the mentioning of “Cayennae” in the description by Harold (1867d: 97) not corresponding with the “Nov. Frib.” [= Nova Friburgo, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil]” on the label of the type specimen. The distribution in Gillet (1911b: 61) and Blackwelder (1944: 207) is likely copied from Harold (1867d). This species does not occur in the research area.
