A review of the Palaearctic species of Larinus Dejean (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) in C. J. Schoenherr collection: nomenclature and lectotype designations
Journal Title: Journal of Insect Biodiversity - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 9
Abstract
The syntypes of 41 species of Larinus Dejean described by L. Gyllenhal and C. H. Boheman, housed at the C. J. Schoenherr collection in the Swedish Museum of Natural History, Stockholm and the Museum of Evolution, Uppsala University, are examined. Lectotypes are designated, a nomenclatural review performed, many previous synonyms confirmed and three new synonyms proposed: Larinus planus (Fabricius, 1792) (= Larinus rusticanus Gyllenhal, 1835 syn. nov.); Larinus carlinae (Olivier, 1807) (= Larinus sulphurifer Boheman, 1843 syn. nov.); Larinus minutus Gyllenhal, 1835 (= Larinus puncticollis Capiomont, 1874 syn. nov.). Colour images for 15 lectotypes are presented.
