Bark and Ambrosia Beetles of

SYNONYMY

Taxonomic Comments.   Eggers described this species from 3 syntypes: a male and female on the British Museum and a male specimen kept in his own collection. The verbatim text translates as 'Types (male, female( in British Museum, male cotype in my collection..". By standards of the ICZN these are all syntypes given that cotype has never had any status within the code other than as syntype or paratype. Given that Eggers did not explicitly designate a single specimen, all 3 have equal status in nomencalture. Anderson & Anderson (1971: 10) designated the male specimen from Egger's collection as the lectotype, thereby conferring the status of paralectotypes on the specimens in the Britsih Museum. Wood & Bright (1992: 1063) disregarded the action by Anderson & Anderson and cited "syntypes" in the BMNH. Wood (2007: 754) cited the male paralectotype in the BMNH as the 'holotype' which is totally without any basis. Anderson & Anderson's original lectotype designation is correct.

Maps automatically open at the center of the plotted points and the scale is set to encompass all map points. Maps can be resized (scale bar at upper left) and the center moved (place cursor over map and drag) to see other parts of the distribution of the species. Clicking on a map marker will pull up collection event data and a literature citation if present. If any errors are found, please refer to the "series code" which is a unique identifier for a database record in any communications). Coordinates have not been entered for all collection records. Localities outside the New World are not plotted, even though they are listed in the distribution summary and in the table of records.
