Lestomerus tuberculatus
Fallou, 1891
Original data:

Fallou 1891: 10
).
Type:
Syntype

: “

” // “panama” // “
MUSEUM PARIS COLL
. G. FALLOU 259-95” // “tuberculatus Fallou” [hw Villiers] (
Fig. 35
)
.
Type
locality:
Panama
.
Current status:
Junior synonym of
Rasahus albomaculatus
(Mayr, 1865) (
Bergroth 1892: 263
)
.
Remarks:
In the original boxes of the Fallou’s collection, many specimens do not bear label, only a bottom label behind the specimen(s), indicating the name of the species, the locality and, should it be the case, the handwritten mention “type”. When transferring the specimen from Fallou’s collection to the MNHN general collection, Villiers added a printed label stating the origin (Fallou’s collection) and also the label “
Holotype
”, probably because it was the single specimen (without pin-hole next to the specimen). However, in the original description,
Fallou (1891: 10)
didn’t designate a
holotype
and didn’t mention the number of specimens. Thus, this type specimen should be regarded as a
syntype
and not as
holotype
(
ICZN 1999
, Recommendation 73F).
