Estola marmorata Breuning, 1940

Estola marmorata Breuning, 1940: 67 ; Monné, 2023: 606 (cat.).

Remarks. – This species was described based on at least two specimens from Brazil (“Santos, Ilha Santo Amaro”). Breuning (1940), indicated: “Länge [length] 8 ½– 12 mm, Breite [width] 3-4 mm. However, he also indicated that there was a type: “Typ von Brazilien … [type from Brazil …]. Breuning (1974) incorrectly reported that the species was described based on a single specimen. Furthermore, E. marmorata was collected by G.E. Bryant in 1912, on Santo Amaro Island, near Santos, as indicated on the label. Therefore, the type locality of E. marmorata is Santo Amaro Island, which is located in the Brazilian state of São Paulo, and not Santos. The city of Guarujá occupies the entire area of Santo Amaro Island.

Currently, the species is known from Venezuela, Bolivia (Santa Cruz) and Brazil (Pernambuco, Bahia, Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo) (Bezark 2023b; Monné 2023; Tavakilian & Chevillotte 2023) .
