  Summary of Information
SYNONYMY
Taxonomic Comments. Bright (1985) placed this species in synonymy under setulosus Eichhoff. In 2019 he restored the species (Bright 2019:33) stating "Adults of P. atlanticus are almost identical to those of P. setulosus but the males of P. atlanticus maybe distinguished by the distinctly elevated median portion of the epistoma." However, Wood (2007: 115) in his key to South American species of Phloeotribus includes setulosus in the group of species in which males have an acutely elevated epistomal carina. It is not clear from Bright's (2019) treatment that populations from Cuba and the DOminican Republic merit species recognition.

  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.
