Comments.
When
Bryant (1915: 298)
described
Lasinus termitophilus
, he erroneously referred to his material as female (see
Hlaváč 2000
). Besides, Bryant did not mention the number of the specimens he examined nor did he explicitly fix a name bearing type. With an assumption that other specimens may exist, the single male deposited in the Natural History Museum, London must be treated as a
syntype
. According to Articles 74.6 and 74.7 of
ICZN (1999)
, the treatment of
Hlaváč (2000: 91)
of this male as the ‘holotype’ is considered a misuse of the term, and has no validation in type fixation.
This species is characterized and can be separated from the new species described below mainly by the enlarged male antennomere XI that lacks any obvious modification.
