Audinet-Serville (1835)
described
Pogonocherus setosus
, without indicating the
type
locality (he just reported
‘
exotic
’
). However, the publication (
Audinet-Serville 1835
) recorded:
‘
*
Pogonocherus setosus
, DEJ. Collect.
’
The asterisk is explained in an earlier work,
Audinet-Serville (1832)
(translated):
‘
The new genera, as well as new species, will be indicated by an asterisk
’
. We believe that
Audinet-Serville (1835)
was indicating the specimens labelled in the Dejean collection. This appears evident when we see, for example, the original description of
Hemiloplius dimidiaticornis
:
‘
Hemilophus dimidiaticornis
.
–
Saperda dimidiaticornis
, Dej. Collect.
’
(described as
H. dimidiaticornis
by Audinet- Serville, and present in Dejean collection as
S. dimidiaticornis
).
Dejean (1835
, p. 339) listed
Exocentrus setosus
as being from
‘
Brasilia
’
. This is another evident indication that Audinet-Serville examined the Dejean collection, since according to the
Bishop Museum (2015)
, pages 1
–
195 of volume 4(1) of the
Annales de la Société Entomologique de
France
(including Serville
’
s paper) were published before
June 1835
, while according to
Bousquet and Bouchard (2013)
pages 257
–
360 of the Dejean catalogue were published on
22 August 1835
.
Although the species appears in the Dejean catalogue (1835) as
‘Exocentrus’
, the label of the specimen indicates that
‘Pogonocherus’
was changed to
‘Exocentrus’
(
Figure 5
(b)).
Apparently
, when
Audinet-Serville
examined the specimen in Dejean collection it was labelled as
‘
Pogonocherus’
. A specimen (
Figure 5
(a,b) from
Dejean
collection, currently deposited in the BMNH (former
Louis A.A. Chevrolat
collection) is a
syntype
of
Pogonocherus setosus
(
ICZN 1999
:
Article
72.4.1.1).
There
is another specimen (
Figure 5
(c,d)) in the BMNH from the
Alexander Fry
collection (previously in the
La Ferté-Sénectère
and
Dejean
collections).
However
, it is not possible to know whether this specimen was in the
Dejean
collection at the time that
Audinet-Serville
examined it.
Thus
, it is cannot with certainty be considered a
syntype
.
Audinet-Serville (1835)
mentions, as well as material in the Dejean collection, a specimen of
P. setosus
in his private collection, but this could not be found.
As the species is the type species of
Cosmotomidius
, it is important to designate a
lectotype
, and we accordingly here designate the
syntype
from the former Dejean collection, the only specimen that can be traced that is certainly a
syntype
, as
lectotype
of the species. The
lectotype
(
Figure 5
(a)) has the following labels (
Figure 5
(b)):
(1) Green [handwritten]: Lacordaire;
(2) White [printed]: Bowr. Chevr. 63.47*;
(3) Green [handwritten]:
Pogonocherus
[cancelled]/
Exocentrus setosus
mihi/h. in Brasilia;
(4) Red [printed]: Probable
Syntype
/det. MVL Barclay 2018;
(5) White [printed]: NHMUK 011222569.
Therefore, the
type
locality of
Pogonocherus setosus
becomes
‘
Brazil
’
.
