Type
locality.

Slovenia
,
Croatia
and southwestern
Austria
]’.
Type material examined.
LECTOTYPE
(present designation):
♀

long), ‘[triangular handwritten label with about 2 illegible letters] / MLU Halle,
WB Zoologie, S.
-
Nr., T.
-Nr. 9/1/21 [partly printed, partly handwritten]’ (
MLUH
)
.
PARALECTOTYPES

MLUH
). All specimens provided with additional labels: ‘
LECTOTYPUS
Eusomus setosulus Germar, R. Borovec et J. Skuhrovec
desig.2014 [red, printed] /
Sciaphobus setosulus (Germar) R. Borovec
det. 2014 [printed]’.
Remarks.
GERMAR (1824)
described the species generally from ‘Illyria’ and did not specify the number of specimens he had at disposal. There are
four specimens
pinned under the handwritten label ‘
setosulus Dhl. Schönh.
, hirtellus Stm., aurarius Dej., Carniol. Schm.’ in Germar’s collection (MLUH). We designate
one female
as a
lectotype
to stabilize the nomenclature in the group. All
four specimen
are in accordance with the present-day concept of the species as used in the literature.
