Diagnosis
.
Male of
H. prionoides
can be separat- ed from the remaining
Hermerius
species by the abdominal ventrites without sexual patches, the long weakly serrate antennae extending to elytral apex, and the pronotum covered with dense long hairs. The female of that species can be recognised by smooth pronotum surface bearing only sparse fine punctures, the lower eye lobes narrowly separated on ventral side of head, the short antennae, not extending to mid elytra, and the protibial surfaces glabrous with teeth along external margin.
Types
.
Thomson (1864)
described this species from a single
specimen
which he believed was a
female
, however
Lameere (1885)
found it to be a
male
, and he described and discussed the
female
characters of this species. Results of our
specimen
examinations and molecular sequence comparison support
Lameere’s (1885)
conclusion. Currently, there are two
specimens
(one
male
and one
female
) labelled as “
Lectotype
” in the
MNHN
. Here we specify the
male
specimen
as the
holotype
of
Dioclides prionoides
Thomson, 1864
, which bears the following labels “Prionoides Thoms.
Type
303, Adel. Austra. |
♂
Australia
,
King George Lam.
| Th.
TYPE
”.
The
female
specimen
cannot be recognised as a part of the
type
series as it was probably the
female
specimen
discussed by
Lameere
(1885)
.
