7/4 1887
- 50 feiw. [badly readable] [hw] //
Goliathus
/ atlas / Nick. Flum. Volta [hw, pink label]’.
Current status.
Probably a natural hybrid of
Goliathus regius
Klug, 1835
and
G. cacicus
(Voët, 1779), see, e.g.,
LACHAUME (1983)
.
Remark.
A species-group name established for an animal later found to be a hybrid is an available name (
ICZN 1999
: Art. 17).
