Eufriesea danielis (Schrottky, 1907)
Eumorpha combinata danielis Schrottky, C. (1907). Contribución al conocimiento de los himenópteros del Paraguay. An. Cient. Paraguayos 7 (1): 1-78 [56] .
Type data: holotype whereabouts unknown <F> (Although Moure (1999:91) indicates as holotype a female specimen at MZUSP, there is no reason to consider it the true holotype, in particular because in the original description, Schrottky indicates that the specimen was collected by Anisits. The female mentioned by Moure was collected by Schrottky himself. See also Nemésio & Rasmussen (2011:16)).
Type locality: Paraguay, Asunción.

Remarks

Although the type material is missing, and the future interpretation probably pending on designation of a neotype, considering the type locality of E. danielis, it is likely the female of E. auriceps, as previously interpreted by Nemésio (2009:29) (G. A. R. Melo, unpubl.).
