Gymnetron haemorrhoum
Rosenhauer, 1847
Gymnetron haemorrhoum
was described from specimens from
Hungary
and compared with
G. spilotum
(
Germar, 1821
)
[formerly
Cionus
and currently a synonym of
R. bipustulata
(Rossi, 1794)
]. Desbrochers des
Loges (1893)
considered this taxon as a variety of
R. bipustulata
, whereas
Reitter (1907)
reported that he did not know this taxon but that it might be closely related to
R. moroderi
.
Endrödi (1970)
placed
G. haemorrhoum
in synonymy with
R. tetra
. We can confirm Endrödi’s opinion after the study of a female
syntype
preserved at MNHN and labelled “
Hungaria
/ haemorrhous Rosenh. / Ex Musaeo Rosenhauer” (
lectotype
here designated).
