Abstract
Photographs of the primary type (holotype or syntype) of eleven species of Bisaltes are provided for the first time: Bisaltes buquetii Thomson, 1868; Bisaltes flaviceps Breuning, 1940; Bisaltes fuscoapicalis Breuning, 1950; Bisaltes fuscodiscalis Breuning, 1943; Bisaltes fuscomarmoratus Breuning, 1966; Bisaltes pictus Breuning, 1940; Bisaltes strandi Breuning, 1940; Bisaltes subreticulatus Aurivillius, 1920; Bisaltes triangularis Breuning, 1940; Bisaltes (Craspedocerus) ptericoptoides Breuning, 1942 and Craspedocerus poecilus Aurivillius, 1900. Bisaltes (Bisaltes) picticornis Galileo & Martins, 2003 is synonymized with Bisaltes (Bisaltes) spegazzinii Bruch, 1911; Bisaltes (Bisaltes) petilus Galileo & Martins, 2009 is synonymized with Bisaltes (Bisaltes) pulvereus (Bates, 1866); Bisaltes (Bisaltes) argentiniensis Breuning, 1971 is synonymized with Bisaltes (Bisaltes) adustus (Burmeister, 1865); and Bisaltes (Bisaltes) columbianus Breuning, 1971 is synonymized with Bisaltes (Craspedocerus) poecilus Aurivillius, 1900. Photographs of the four primary types of species of Bisaltes (Bisaltes) at the Museu de Zoologia, Universidade de São Paulo are provided. The inclusion of Bisaltes venezuelensis in this genus is questioned. The difference between Bisaltes (Bisaltes) and Bisaltes (Craspedocerus) is discussed and questioned.
