A. nigripennis
Reitter, 1884: 109
(in footnote of key);
Hatch, 1929b: 57
;
Wheeler, 1979a: 303
(as
incertae sedis
). No information about types in original description [or in
Wheeler, 1979a
].
Holotype
(sex not given) in NHMW(?) [doubtful as in
Peck
et al.
, 1998a: 53
].
Type locality:
Mendoza
, [assumed
Argentina
(by
Blackwelder, 1944: 84
, but
Hatch, 1929b: 57
did not mention a country as he usually did and simply stated “
Mendoza
”), but maybe
Panama
, in
Wheeler, 1979a
, who comments the latter placement “would be more harmonious with other species distributions”].
Note 1: Doubtful generic placement and doubtful locality (
Wheeler, 1979a: 303
).
Note 2: The original description was made in a footnote as “*) Dieser Art steht ausserordentlich nahe:
A. nigripennis
n. sp.
, …”, just after the genus
Amphicyllis
, which came after the key for
Anisotoma
, which started in previous page. No “*” (as a reference to a foot note) appears on these pages.
Hatch, 1929b: 57
lists in full “
Anisotoma nigripennis
” (“assuming” this genus and not the other), maybe based on a previous publication not known to us.
