In the original description of
Volxemia dianella
Lameere, 1884
, the author mentioned that the species was described with
3 specimens
: “
1 ♀
rapportée de Botafogo par Van Volxem;
1 ♂
et
1 ♀
du
Brésil
, sans localité précise
.” (
Lameere 1884
).
Damoiseau & Cools (1987)
in their work about the type material of
Cerambycidae
deposited in the IRSNB mentioned only two specimens of
V. dianella
: “
2 syntypes
, (6),
Brésil
: Botafogo, ex coll. Van Volxem & Lacordaire
”. The number 6 refers to the faunistic region (Neotropical +
Mexico
).
Last year I had the opportunity to visit the Entomological Collection at the Institut Royal des Sciences Naturelles de
Belgique
, and corroborated the existence of only two type-specimens of
Volxemia dianella
Lameere, 1884
, with no
holotype
originally designated. In order to promote nomenclatural stability and facilite further identifications of this species, a
lectotype
and
paralectotype
are herein designated.
