Kelloggina willistoni Lane & d’Andretta, 1956 (Fig. 14) Lane & d’Andretta (1956: 202, fig. 17). Hogue (1971: 6). Types in MZSP: HOLOTYPE (Fig. 14): 1 ♂ (# MZ006166) from Brazil, RJ, Itatiaia, Rio Campo Bello, 1,800 m a.s.l., II/1941, Raymond C. Shannon & Hugo Laemmert coll. PARATYPE: 1 ♀ (allotype), same data of holotype. Diagnosis: Male (Fig. 14): General coloration brown. Head: Front and clypeus dark brown. Eyes broadly contiguous and narrowly separated above; upper portion quite larger than the lower one. Antenna with 14 segments, scape and pedicel brown, flagellum black. Proboscis slightly longer than head. Palpus with four black segments. Thorax: Pronotum dark brown. Scutum dark brown, with three pruinose stripes in the middle. Scutellum yellow. Pleura dark brown with large yellow marks. Legs: Coxae and trochanters yellow, femora yellow at base and darker apically, tibiae yellow, and tarsi light brown. Hind tibia with two spurs.

Remarks: Lane & d’Andretta (1956) listed an additional 5 ♂ and 6 ♀ paratypes. Two male and two female paratypes were lost during the MNRJ fire. The other 3 ♂ and 4 ♀ were not examined. Lane & d’Andretta (1956) cited material from Itatiaia, Maromba, 100 m a.s.l., but it is probably an error in altitude number.
