Seven New Species of Elaphidiini (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) from the Dominican Republic with Taxonomic Notes, New Country Records, and a Key toElaphidionAudinet-Serville from Hispaniola Author Lingafelter, Steven W. text The Coleopterists Bulletin 2008 2008-09-30 62 3 353 379 http://dx.doi.org/10.1649/1110.1 journal article 10.1649/1110.1 1938-4394 5370492 Elaphidion fullonium Newman ( Fig. 2 ) Elaphidion confusum Fisher 1932: 32 , new synonymy Discussion. The type of E. fullonium Newman (1841) cannot be located in either the BMNH or Oxford Collection. Elaphidion confusum Fisher (1932) (type locality of Hinche, Haiti ) matches the original description of E. fullonium (type locality also of Haiti ; shared characters include one apical elytral spine, no femoral spines, bispinose antennae), and I designate it as a new synonym of that species. I designate the holotype of Fisher’s E. confusum ( Fig. 2 ) in the USNM as a neotype of E. fullonium to stabilize the nomenclature and species concept.
