For Cimex no. 29 in Geoffroy, 1762 : 450 . Syntype (s): France : “environs de Paris”; lost ( Péricart 2001: 208 ). Cimex caffer Thunberg, 1784 : 59 . Syntype (s): Caput bonae spei [= South Africa : Cape of Good Hope] (in error); depository not stated. Synonymized by Stål (1867: 382) , with pedestris ; confirmed subjective synonym . Lygaeus pedestris Panzer, 1797 : 14 . Syntype (s): Germany ; depository not stated. Synonymized by Reuter (1885: 228) . A complete list of synonyms of R. alboacuminatus was provided by Péricart (2001) . Selected references. Thunberg (1822a) : 3 ( Alydus caffer , diagnosis), Stål (1867) : 382 ( Beosus , synonymy), Reuter (1885) : 228 ( Pachymerus , keyed, synonymy), Stichel (1935) : 354 (generic position), Slater (1964) : 1310 (catalogue, distribution, bibliography); Péricart (1999) : 271 (redescription, figures, intraspecific variability, immatures, bionomics, records, distribution, bibliography), Péricart (2001) : 208 (catalogue). Type material examined. Cimex caffer . Lectotype (present designation) ♂ ( Fig. 6 ): “Uppsala Univ. Zool. Mus . / Thunbergsaml. nr. 17527 / Alydus caffer / Mus . Thunb . TYP” [red, printed]; “ LECTOTYPUS / Cimex caffer / Thunberg, 1784 / desig. Kondorosy, 2013” [with red frame, printed]; “( Alydus ) / caffer / Mus . Thunb.” [handwritten ( Fig. 7 )]; deposited in UPSZ . Discussion. The lectotype of Cimex caffer ( Fig. 6 ) is admittedly conspecific with R. alboacuminatus , therefore the synonymy proposed by Stål (1867) and equivocally followed by subsequent authors is confirmed.
