  Summary of Information
SYNONYMY
Taxonomic Comments. Wood may have considered retusipennis Blandford a synonym, but he never published it. In his collection is a male labeled 'homotype Hylocurus retusipennis' but also a label 'Hylocurus discifer Wood 2004'. Based on photographsof his homotype of discifer and of the holotype of retusipennis (both by me), I conclude that only one species is present.

DISTRIBUTION.
Numbers in parentheses after each geographic unit are the number of distinct collection events in the database for that unit. For exotic species generally only countries are listed for localities outside the New World. For further information on published sources of distribution, check the REFERENCES section.
Distribution Comments. Originally described from 'tobacco refuse', supposedly of Mexican origin. Wood (1982) suggested that this material was of Brazilian origin and that the species is strictly South American.

  Distribution Map
Maps automatically open at the center of the plotted points and the scale is set to encompass all map points. Maps can be resized (scale bar at upper left) and the center moved (place cursor over map and drag) to see other parts of the distribution of the species. Clicking on a map marker will pull up collection event data and a literature citation if present. If any errors are found, please refer to the "series code" which is a unique identifier for a database record in any communications). Coordinates have not been entered for all collection records. Localities outside the New World are not plotted, even though they are listed in the distribution summary and in the table of records.
