The type material of the species of Laparocerus Schönherr, 1834 (Coleoptera, Curculionidae, Entiminae) Author Machado, Antonio text Journal of Natural History 2006 2006-12-21 40 35 - 37 2001 2055 http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/00222930601046659 journal article 10.1080/00222930601046659 1464-5262 5232123 Laparocerus tessellatus ( Hustache, 1932 ) * Cyclomaurus tessellatus Hustache 1932 , p 43 . Type locality. Aglou-Tiznit, Sous, SW Morroco. Holotype : 1 ex [Tiznit/( Maroc ) Antoine/Sous XII-30] [ Cyclomaurus / tessellatus /Coll. Hoffmann]. MNHN , (Coll. Hofmann), Paris. The original identification label was probably removed by Hoffman. Paratypes : 3 exx [Tiznit/( Maroc ) Antoine/Sous XII-30] [ Paratype ] [Muséum Paris/Coll. Antoine]; 1 ex, same labels plus [ Cyclomaurus / tessellatus m./Hustache det.]; 4 exx [Sous Aglou Maroc (Antoine)]. MNHN (Coll. Antoine), Paris. 1 ex [Aglou Sous XII ( Maroc ) Antoine]. MNHN (Coll. Hoffman), Paris. Remarks. Kocher (1961 , p 56) does not see differences between this species and specimens of L. susicus from the same region (Foum-Assaka) in SW Morocco . This synonymy has been confirmed by my colleague Jean Pelletier (personal communication) who compared the type with specimens of Laparocerus susicus I sent to him (nov. syn.). Moreover, Laparocerus tessellatus ( Hustache, 1932 ) is a secondary homonymy of Laparocerus tessellatus (Brulle´, 1839), but there is no need of a replacement name.
