elongatus (Oplomus) Dallas 1852: 6–7. View in CoL View at ENA

Original data: “ ♂”; “ Hab. in Brasilia ? In Mr. Westwood’s collection.” [syntype (s)]

Current status: Damarius splendidulus (Fabricius, 1803) (synonymised by Distant 1900a: 58; see Schouteden 1905: 154; Schouteden 1907: 49, placed in Damarius ).

Note: The type (s) may have been in “Mr Westwood’s collection” but none is to be found nowadays in the Oxford University Museum of Natural History (where Westwood’s collection is currently housed), nor at NHMUK (where most of Dallas’s species can be found).
