Capnia dusmeti
Navás, 1917
Capnia dusmeti
Navás, 1917
—
Navás 1917: 396
. (original description of the adult).
Capnia bifrons
(
Newman, 1838
)
—
Aubert 1952: 247
. (synonymy of
Capnia dusmeti
Navás, 1917
with
Capnia bifrons
(
Newman, 1838
))
.
This
species was described on the basis of a female from
Spain
.
The
type
specimen is lost, however, it was synonymized with
Z. bifrons
on the basis of the original description (
Aubert 1952
). As the drumming signals of
several Iberian populations differ from that of
Z. bifrons
(
Rupprecht 1997
)
, their conspecifity cannot be confirmed.
Capnia dusmeti
is regarded as a nomen dubium instead of a junior synonym of
Z. bifrons
.
