Ochterus acutangulus (Champion, 1901) Pelogonus acutangulus Champion, 1901: 345–346, Pl. XX: fig. 11 (key, original description, illustration). HOLOTYPE: ♀, Guatemala: ‘ Rio Naranjo’ (BMNH). Ochterus acutangulus: KIRKALDY & TORRE BUENO (1909): 179 (catalogue); BARBER (1913):214 (key to species); SCHELL (1943b): 38 –39 (original description repeated);? DRAKE (1952):73 –74 (checklist, comparative note, illustration); ALAYO (1971): 4 –5 (key to species); ALAYO (1974): 34 –35 (key to species); HECKMAN (2011): 459 –460 (key to species, illustration); POLHEMUS & POLHEMUS (2016), 17–20 (key to species, redescription, illustrations). Distribution. Neotropical Region: Central America: Belize (POLHEMUS & POLHEMUS 2016); Guatemala (CHAM- PION 1901, KIRKALDY & TORRE BUENO 1909, DRAKE 1952, POLHEMUS & POLHEMUS 2016); Mexico (DRAKE 1952): Chiapas (POLHEMUS & POLHEMUS 2016). Notes. Comprative notes and record of O. acutangulus from Mexico: Tejupilco by SCHELL (1943b) actually refers to O. schellae (see DRAKE 1952), also her records from Mexico: Veracruz and Panama: Porto Bello (SCHELL 1943b) seem doubtful and require revision. DRAKE (1952: 74) provided an illustration of a female from Cuba. The distribution in Cuba was accepted by ALAYO (1971, 1974). However, there is no other record from Cuba (MUÑOZ RIVIAUX et al. 2010a,b; NARANJO et al. 2010), and its presence on the island is considered doubtful by POLHEMUS & POLHEMUS (2016).
