Germar (1823) described Lamia scrupulosa from Brazil and did not indicate the number of specimens. According to Tavakilian & Chevillotte (2023), there were four syntypes. We do not know if this information is formally published. Audinet-Serville (1835) described Dryoctenes caliginosus based on syntypes (number of specimens not mentioned) from Brazil. According to Tavakilian & Chevillotte (2023), there were two syntypes. Germar (1839) synonymized D. caliginousus with D. scrupulosus.
