§ Dendropaemon (Dendropaemon) piceus (Perty, 1830) Eurysternus piceus Perty 1830: pl. 8, fig. 6 (Brazil) Distribution. “Guianas”: Olsoufieff 1924: 122; Blackwelder 1944: 211 (as Dendropemon piceum). Brazil: Perty 1830: pl. 8, fig. 6, p. 39 (drawing - as Eurysternus piceus; description - as Dendropaemon piceus); Gillet 1911b: 88 (as Dendropemon piceus); Olsoufieff 1924: 122; Blut 1939: 290; Blackwelder 1944: 211 (as Dendropemon piceum); Vaz-de-Mello 2000: 192 (as Dendropaenon [sic] (Dendropaenon) [sic] piceum); Génier and Arnaud 2016: 33. Note. According to Génier and Arnaud (2016: 33), Dendropaemon piceus is only known from the Brazilian holotype. According to Perty (1830: 39), this holotype comes from either of the states São Paulo and Minas Gerais. According to Blut (1939: 290), reports of this species from the Guianas (such as in Olsoufieff (1924: 122) and Blackwelder (1944: 211)) may in fact concern D. ater. We regard Dendropaemon piceus as not occurring in the research area.
