( Fig. 18 )

Basiptera castaneipennis Thomson, 1864: 205 .

Remarks. – Thomson (1864) described B. castaneipennis based on a single specimen from Mexico (no further details). After the original description, the species has never been recorded in Mexico, which suggests that there was an error in the type locality of the species. Burmeister (1865) described Trachyderes sanguinolentus from Argentina (Santiago del Estero). According to Monné (2023a) and Tavakilian & Chevillotte (2022), Trachyderes sanguinolentus was described based on syntypes. However, Burmeister (1865) only provided a single measure and did not suggest that there were more specimens. Dohrn (1878) described Leptura (Sibylla) martialis based on a single specimen from Argentina (Córdoba). Aurivillius (1912) synonymized these two species with B. castaneipennis . Currently, the species is known from Bolivia, Argentina, and Paraguay ( Monné 2023a; Tavakilian & Chevillotte 2022).
