3.1.5. Ochlerus dentijugis BREDDIN, 1910 (pp. 623–624)

(figs 5, 20)

Type material (examined): Male, here designated as lectotype, deposited at the SDEI; ‘ Peru Amaz. | Ochlerus profanus | coll. Breddin | DEI Müncheberg HEMI-00027’, labels added: ‘ Lectotype Ochlerus dentijugis Breddin, 1910 ’ .

Type locality: Peru.

Comments: The diagnostic feature of the lateral projection on the mandibular plates and the shape of the pygophore, much different from the other species, lead us to the conclusion that this specimen is a syntype of O. dentijugis . Breddin stated that the specimen on which he based his description originated from Colombia, however the label pinned with the syntype states otherwise, again leading to the possibility that some labels are mixed and/or misplaced.
