Tapinauchenius subcaeruleus
Bauer & Antonelli, 1997: 429, f. 1-3.
Remarks.
The original description by
Bauer and Antonelli (1997)
stated the authors intended to deposit a female holotype at SMF. However, this holotype could not be located in the collections and has never been deposited there (
Jaeger
, pers. comm.). As there is no holotype and the description does not allow for a precise diagnosis, and as further characterisation of the species and the provided type locality (Ecuador without specification) are too broad, it is impossible to allocate new material. Consequently, the species is herein considered a nomen dubium.
