Remarks

Macraspis maculata has been recorded from the Brazilian Amazon (Ohaus 1918[3], 1934[4]; Machatschke 1972[6]; Brûlé et al. 2014[10]) but similarities with other species have posed problems with identification. In his treatment for M. maculata, Soula (1998)[7] considered the species to be widely distributed, and he justified the creation of related taxa because: “… some populations that are more geographically isolated are already genetically isolated enough to describe subspecies (or even new species ...)” (translated from French). Soula (1998[7], 2003[8]) restricted M. maculata maculata to Brazilian Atlantic Forest and described M. maculata crosarai from Brazilian Cerrado (distinguished from the nominotypical subspecies by means of coloration). Influenced by Antonio Martínez’s identification labels, Soula (1998)[7] described M. martinezi and compared it with M. maculata (perhaps constituting one of Soula’s “genetically isolated” populations of M. maculata). He included three subspecies, M. martinezi auzerali, M. martinezi curoei Soula, 1998, and M. martinezi colombica Soula, 1998, all of which are distributed in the Amazon biome (only the first subspecies is known from the Brazilian Amazon) and similar to M. maculata in coloration, form, and genitalic form. The validity of M. martinezi and its subspecies-complex requires evaluation in future studies. Examination of the primary types of M. maculata maculata (Fig. 8A–D) and M. maculata crosarai (Fig. 8E–H) revealed no conspicuous differences between these taxa. Based on this examination, we synonymize M. maculata crosarai with the nominotypical M. maculata. Now, M. maculata no longer includes subspecies. Therefore, although the taxon has been recorded to the Brazilian Amazon and French Guiana by past authors (Ohaus 1918[3], 1934[4]; Machatschke 1972[6]; Brûlé et al. 2014[10]), M. maculata is treated sensuSoula (1998[7], 2003[8]) in this paper and considered to be distributed in the Brazilian Cerrado and Atlantic Forest rather than the Brazilian Amazon region. For this reason, this species was excluded from the key provided here.
