I am not able to notice important differences between specimen labelled [i]Metopocoilus corumbaensis[/i] Lane, 1956 and [i]Metopocoilus quadrispinosus[/i] (Bouquet, 1860). Furthermore, the original descriptions mainly focuss on the coloration (which is not a good feature, colours being highly variable) and / or are very short. Are these 2 distinct items? Or should they be synonymized? [/quote]    Insert an Image File Check here to include your profile signature.
