New synonymy.</p> <p>Material of Praocis rotundata Lacordaire studied by Lacordaire (MNHUB) (Fig. 2): two specimens, with labels: [14903] [Hist.-Coll. (Coleoptera)/ Nr. 14903/ Praocis rotundata Lacord. / Coquimbo, Melly (data error)/ Zool. Mus. Berlin] [rotundata / Lacord./ Chili. Dej.] [Praocis / punctata Sol. / det. H. Kulzer 1957].</p> <p>Holoype of Praocis soror Kulzer (NHMB): [Villavicenzio/ Mendoza / 3-11-52] [Argentinien / leg. Wittmer] [Holotypus / Praocis / soror m./ det. H. Kulzer 1957] (Fig. 3).</p> <p>Comments. Due to the misidentification of Solier (1840), who put Praocis rotundata Lacordaire in synonymy with Praocis sulcata, all the subsequent authors (listed above) assigned this species as inhabiting Chile. We remove Praocis rotundata Lacordaire from the Chilean fauna and based on the examined material (IADIZA, LEULS) we determine its geographical distribution as Mendoza and San Juan provinces of Argentina, being endemic to the Uspallata-Calingasta altitudinal valley between 1400 and 3630 m, in the biogeographic provinces of Monte, Altoandean, and Puna (Roig Juñent et al. 2003). The type locality “Paramillos de Uspallata” is located within this area, in the Precordillera at 3000 m, and it is part of the currently so-called “Reserva Villavicencio”.</p> <p>The aforementioned two specimens of Praocis rotundata Lacordaire (MNHUB) were previously determined by Kulzer as Praocis punctata Solier, which is indeed a different species. Praocis punctata Solier has elytra with carinae weakly demarcated and lateral margin of pronotum with a row of long, golden setae (syntypes seen in MNHN). On the other hand, these specimens of Praocis rotundata and the holotype of Praocis soror have elytra with carinae well demarcated and elevated and lateral margin of pronotum glabrous (Figs. 2–3).</p> </div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03917312FF86FFC60E8BFB7056D0DDE1	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

New synonymy based on redescription of P. rotundata Laporte by Solier, 1851.</p> <p>Lectotype of Praocis sulcata (Fig. 1): [Type] [14893] [Hist.-Coll. (Coleoptera)/ Nr. 14893/ Praocis sulcata Eschsch. / Chili, Eschsch./ Zool. Mus. Berlin] [Syntypys/ Praocis sulcata / Eschscholtz, 1829 / labelled by the MNHUB 2005] [Lectotypus / Praocis sulcata Eschscholtz, 1829 / Des. G. Flores 2005] (MNHUB). One paralectotype same data as lectotype, except two first labels (MNHUB).</p> <p>Notes: Flores (2007: 416) designated lectotype and paralectotype. Because Praocis rotundata Laporte, 1840 is now placed in synonymy, there is no need to propose a new name for this species which is a junior homonym of Praocis rotundata Lacordaire, 1830.</p> <p>Comments. Praocis rotundata Laporte shares with P. sulcata Eschscholtz the following characters: elytron with two carinae well marked and three grooves bearing short, broad, golden, squamiform setae; carinae wider than grooves; lateral margin well demarcated with a finer edge; pseudopleuron with punctures. These characters were recognized by Solier (1851) in his redescription of P. rotundata Laporte and are diagnostic for P. sulcata as stated by Eschscholtz (1829).</p> <p>Based on the examined material of this species housed in LEULS and IADIZA, we assign its geographical distribution to Chile, from Elqui Province (Coquimbo Region) to Concepcion Province (Bío Bío Region).</p> </div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03917312FF86FFC50E8BFED0517BD921	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
