Neleus carinaefrons
Kuwert, 1891
Neleus carinaefrons
Kuwert, 1891: 186
.
One unsexed specimen: ‘
N. carinaefrons
/ Kuwert typ / 27 [hw Nickerl]’.
Remark.
The specimen without a locality label could be the one of the length of
32 mm
cited by
KUWERT (1898b)
. However,
KUWERT (1891)
stated the length of this species to be
37 mm
and the
type
locality ‘Mérida, Caucasthal’, which corresponded to the specimen in Kuwert’s collection only. This species belongs to
Passalus
sensu
BOUCHER (2015)
and is currently a junior subjective synonym of
P. punctiger
Le Peletier & Serville, 1825
.
