Lectotype. Female. PERU, Pozuzu, M. Kirsch (SMTD). Corporaal 1950: 290 (Corinthiscus). Kirsch did not specify as to the number of specimens that were involved in his description. Therefore, I invoke Recommendation 73F of the ICZN (1999) and designate a lectotype for this nominal species.</p> <p>Diagnosis. Specimens of this species resemble superficially those of Diutius gallerucoides (Spinola, 1844: 372), but in Diutius sexpunctatus (Kirsch) specimens the elytral disc shows 6 maculae (Fig. 5) not 8 (Fig. 6) as is the case in its congener.</p> <p>Redescription. Size: Length 10.0 mm; width 3.2 mm. Form: Oblong, short, rectangular (Fig. 5). Color: Mouthparts testaceous, except mandibles brown; antenna mostly testaceous, posterior margin of capitulum brown; thorax, legs, and abdomen testaceous; elytra mostly testaceous, with 6 brown maculae. Head: Funicular antennomeres progressively shorter, capitulum longer than combined length of funicular antennomeres, capitular antennomeres very long (Fig. 1); eyes coarsely facetted and bulgy, frons slightly narrower than width of eye (EW/FW 22/20). Thorax: Pronotum (Fig. 2) slightly transverse (PW/ PL 72/70), side margin with shallow tubercle, disc finely sparsely punctate; elytral without asetiferous punctation (EL/EW 240/60). Abdomen: Pygidium scutiform.</p> <p>Variation. Size: Length 9.0-10.0 mm; width 3.0- 3.2 mm. Other than body size, the available specimens are quite homogeneous.</p> <p>Distribution. In addition to the lectotype, I examined one specimen from: Peru: Tarapoto, Mai a Aut, 1886, M de Mathan. Specimens are deposited in MNHN and SMTD.</p></div> 	http://treatment.plazi.org/id/E43787D023631453FF2FF59F93A4015D	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
