Taxonomy
Forficulidae
,
Skendylinae
,
Cosmiella bicolor
(Brindle, 1973)
.
Remarks
1. Transferred by
Steinmann (1989c: 669)
.
2. The collection date for the
allotype
, F3233.1698, is given in the original description as
31.XII.1957
. From inspection of the label it is probable that 1957 is a mistranscription of 1951.
3. The original description also refers to two
paratypes
, one male and one female, with the same data, dates
29 Oct. 1951
and
30 Nov. 1951
, respectively.
