Topic: Missing beetles
Hi Chris, I think the following are missing from the dictionary (Duff, 2008/2012):
- Phloeopora scribae Eppelsheim, 1884 (P. bernhaueri should be a synonym)
- Pella cognata (Märkel, 1842) (Zyras cognatus should be a synonym)
- Pella funesta (Gravenhorst, 1806) (Zyras funestus should be a synonym)
- Pella humeralis (Gravenhorst, 1802) (Zyras humeralis should be a synonym)
- Pella laticollis (Märkel, 1845) (Zyras laticollis should be a synonym)
- Pella limbata (Paykull, 1789) (Zyras limbatus should be a synonym)
- Pella lugens (Gravenhorst, 1802) (Zyras lugens should be a synonym)
- Pella Stephens, 1835 (with the synonyms Zyras sensu auctt. partim non Stephens, 1835 and Myrmedonia sensu auctt. non Erichson, 1837)
- Cryptophagus denticulatus Heer, 1841 (with the synonyms C. pilosus Gyllenhal, 1827 non Herbst, 1792, C. pallidus sensu auctt. Brit. non Sturm, 1845 and C. pseudodentatus Bruce, 1934)
- Latridius porcatus Herbst, 1793 (L. anthracinus Mannerheim, 1844 should be a synoynm, and L. minutus sensu auctt. partim non (Linnaeus, 1767), L. ?pulla Marsham, 1802 and L. minutissimus Motschulsky, 1858 need adding as synonyms)
- Atomaria rhenonum Kraatz, 1853 (A. (Anchicera) rhenana Kraatz, 1853 as a synonym, with A. elevata Allen, 1938 and A. godarti sensu Sjöberg, 1947 non Guillebeau, 1885 adding as synonyms)
@@@ Gateway down so can't check the following synonyms if they're present or not @@@
- Tetralaucopora longitarsis (Erichson, 1837)
- Charagmus griseus (Fabricius, 1775) (from memory, this is down as Sitona griseus)
Also, Cyptophagus don't appear with subgenera in Duff's checklist, but they do on the Gateway?
That's all for now (apols for any dupes/if I missed something). Let me know if that doesn't make sense! :)
