Taxonomy

Forficulinae

Forficula chopardi
Hincks, 1947
.
Remarks
Steinmann (1993: 596)
, in the entry for
F. chopardi
, cites ‘1947
Anechura chopardi
Hincks’ as the original described taxon. This should read ‘1947
Forficula chopardi
Hincks’. Hincks described
Anechura chopardi
in 1958 (
Hincks 1958a: 185
).
Brindle (1973f: 270)
transferred
Anechura chopardi
to
Forficula
with the new name
F. borellii
(
F. chopardi
Hincks, 1947
being the senior homonym). In
Steinmann
1989c the two species,
F. borellii
Brindle, 1973
(p. 815) and
F. chopardi
Hincks, 1947
(p. 817) are clearly distinguished.
