The type material of the species of Laparocerus Schönherr, 1834 (Coleoptera, Curculionidae, Entiminae) Author Machado, Antonio text Journal of Natural History 2006 2006-12-21 40 35 - 37 2001 2055 http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/00222930601046659 journal article 10.1080/00222930601046659 1464-5262 5232123 Laparocerus morio Boheman, 1834 Laparocerus morio Boheman in Schönherr 1834 , p 531 . Type locality. Island of Madeira . Holotype : 1„ [ Type ] [ Lusitania / Falderman ]. NR ( Coll. Schöhnherr ), Stockholm . Specimen in perfect condition ( Figure 8A ). Remarks. According to the original description, the type of L. morio is from ‘‘Lusitania, Mus. Dom. Faldermann’’. The species is a common insect in Madeira ( Wollaston 1854 ) and the type locality ‘‘Lusitania’’ (5 Portugal ) must be an error, or perhaps a political generalization. This confusion has been already corrected by Lona (1938) . The specimen originated probably from Funchal or its neighbourhood. A second very dirty specimen ( ♀ ) of L. morio in the Collection Schönherr ( SMNH ) has a label [ Madeira ] and is classified as Eremnus Barthelotti . This name is published ‘‘ Eremnus barthelotti . Dom. Guérin. Magaz. Zool.’’ in Schönherr (1842 , p 228) as synonym of L. morio . Lundblad (1958 , p 485 footnote 5) explains that perhaps Guérin had the intention of describing it, but there is no contribution by him in the Magazine of Zoology , and E. barthelotti should be just a nomen in litteris . That being the case, Eremnus barthelotti is not an available name.
