Description
surinamensis Saussure, 1869 [Theoclytes].
One ♀, in the collection as Phyllovates parallela (de Haan, 1842) (box 31), is possibly a syntype. This specimen has three handwritten labels: "♀ Guyanne M. H. de Saussure", " Theoclytes parallela de Haan " (green paper) and " parallela de Haan Guyanne " (green paper). The status of the specimen is uncertain because it is a little bigger than indicated in the description and the original description gives Surinam (the Dutch part of Guyana) as type locality while the label has only Guyana, suggesting French Guyana. Saussure (1871) placed T. surinamensis in synonymy with T. parallela (de Haan, 1842). T. parallela is currently placed in the genus Phyllovates Kirby, 1904.
