Campodea fragilis
Meinert, 1865
Naturhistorisk Tidsskrift
, 3 (3): 427
Neotype
(designated herewith).
Denmark
. Copenhagen,
Amager
: 1ex. (no date or collector on label), in 70% alcohol (
NHMD 214817
).
Current status:
Valid name.
Additional notes:
It was not possible to identify the material studied by
Meinert (1865)
, and therefore we designate a
neotype
for this species, using a specimen studied by
Arevad (1957)
. This author mentioned that no
types
were designated in the original description by
Meinert (1865)
, who gave Copenhagen,
Denmark
, as the
type
locality. The establishment of the
neotype
has the purpose of clarifying the taxonomic status and the
type
locality of the species.
