42739559892EFFBDA59EFDEDFE77FB87.taxon	discussion	REMARKS This type was not seen. It was borrowed from MNHN by Lars Ove Hansen (Zoologisk Museum, Oslo) in 1995, and unfortunately could not be made available during the present study. Although Risbec’s figure is captioned as a male, this is probably an error as the description is of a female.	en	Notton, David G.

The paralectotype was labelled by Kieffer as a female in error but is actually a male, and so is not excluded from the type series.

42739559892EFFBDA78FFECEFBF2FB05.taxon	discussion	REMARKS There is no conclusive evidence that the original description was based on a single specimen, and so there is not a holotype. Schulz (1911) may be considered to have designated a lectotype (ICZN 1999: Art. 74.5) when he wrote: “ Nach Ansicht des typischen ♀ von ruficeps Brullé im Museum Paris ” [= From an examination of the typical female of ruficeps Brullé in Paris Museum]. The lectotype is pinned, and slightly mouldy, with the left flagellum missing after the first segment, the right flagellum missing after the third segment, the right fore wing and both hind wings a little broken, and the apex of the left mid tarsus missing. The synonymy established by Schulz (1904), and recently confirmed by Musetti & Johnson (2004), is followed here.	en	Notton, David G.

42739559892FFFBCA502FF01FEAAFB05.taxon	discussion	REMARKS Although described as a variety, the name Disogmus carinatus var. fuscitarsis is made available at subspecific rank from the date of its original publication as it was published before 1961, the author expressly used the term “ var. ” and it was adopted as the valid name of a species before 1985, as Disogmus fuscitarsis by Kieffer (1914) (ICZN 1999: arts 45.6.4, 45.6.4.1). The syntype was originally pinned on a long pin that has been subsequently cut down and the specimen substaged. The apex of the right hind tarsus is missing, the left flagellum is missing beyond the fourth segment and the right flagellum is missing beyond the third segment. Kieffer (1907) recorded the type locality as Berisal in France, however, the country is not mentioned on the data label and it seems Kieffer was mistaken. It is most likely that the type came from the famous entomological collecting locality Berisal in the Simplon Pass in Switzerland. The synonymy of Townes & Townes (1981) is followed here.	en	Notton, David G.

The lectotype, apparently last seen by Townes & Townes (1981), had been micro-pinned and substaged, but the specimen was not found and only the mount remains. A search was made in the box, but it could not be found, so it is presumed to have been destroyed.	en	Notton, David G.

42739559892DFFB1A7A3FEAEFDE5FE3D.taxon	discussion	REMARKS The syntype is pinned and is very mouldy, with both antennae lost except for one scape, the right hind leg is lost, and the apex of the gaster beyond the large sclerites is lost. The link between Bosc and P. A. Latreille is well established. They were almost exact contemporaries, Bosc being just three years older, and Latreille died only five years after Bosc. Both Cuvier (1829) and Silvestre (1829) recorded that Bosc gave a collection of American reptiles to Latreille in about 1800; Latreille (1802 a) refered to Bosc as his friend; both belonged to the Société philomathique de Paris at the same time (Bosc from “ An 3 ” to 1826 and Latreille from “ An 4 ” to 1832 according to the membership lists published in the bulletin of the society); and most significantly Dutrouilh (1829) noted that Fabricius and Latreille found a large number of unpublished species in Bosc’s collection, the descriptions of which they used to enrich their works. Consequently type specimens of Latreille’s species are to be expected in Bosc’s collection. The survival of Hymenoptera type material of Latreille is especially significant since, despite Horn & Kahle (1935 - 1937) who recorded that Latreille’s Hymenoptera were passed to the Muséum d’Histoire naturelle, Geneva (via B. E. de Romand and H. de Saussure), these are not recognisable in that collection today (Bernhard Metz pers. comm.) although it is possible some of Latreille’s types may still exist in the Spinola collection (Casolari & Moreno 1978, 1979 a, b). The synonymy established by Haliday (1833) and repeated by Townes & Townes (1981) is followed here but may need to be re-evaluated when the newly discovered syntype is revised.

427395598923FFB0A50CFCA8FC26FDA2.taxon	discussion	REMARKS The original description clearly implies there is a syntype series since no holotype is indicated and both sexes and two localities are given. Hence Kelner-Pillault (1958) is wrong to suggest that there was a holotype. Although Townes & Townes (1981) considered Kelner-Pillault (1958) to have designated a lectotype, this cannot be supported either under Article 74.5 (ICZN 1999) since there is no explicit indication by Kelner-Pillault that she was selecting from a type series, or under Article 74.6 (ICZN 1999) since it is clear a syntype series exists. Since four syntypes were found, to avoid future confusion and to conserve the usage established by Townes & Townes (1981) the specimen erroneously considered to be a holotype by Kelner-Pillault (1958) and erroneously considered to be a lectotype by Townes & Townes (1981) is here designated as a lectotype. The lectotype is carded on its venter, is dirty, and has the ends of the mid and hind tarsi missing. The synonymy established by Townes & Townes (1981) is followed here.	en	Notton, David G.

427395598923FFB0A7C9FDAAFC89FA8A.taxon	discussion	REMARKS There is some confusion over the location of the type of this species. Johnson (1992) noted the MNHN was the type repository of this species, presumably basing this information on Townes & Townes (1981). Townes & Townes (1981) noted the lectotype was both in the MNHN and in MCSN. Since it cannot be in two places at once and it was not found in the MNHN, it is most probably at the MCSN. The current generic placement follows that established by Townes & Townes (1981).	en	Notton, David G.

427395598923FFB3A67EFA95FB4EFE1C.taxon	discussion	REMARKS Although described as a variety, the name Serphus (Phaenoserphus) viator var. testaceicornis is made available at subspecific rank from the date of its original publication as it was published before 1961, the author expressly used the term “ var. ” and it was adopted as the valid name of a subspecies before 1985, as Phaenoserphus viator testaceicornis by Kieffer (1914) (ICZN 1999: arts 45.6.4, 45.6.4.1). The original description clearly implies there is a syntype series since no holotype is indicated and both sexes and a range of specimen lengths, collection dates and localities are given. Hence Kelner-Pillault (1958) was wrong to suggest that there was a holotype. Although Townes & Townes (1981) considered Kelner-Pillault (1958) to have designated a lectotype, this cannot be supported either under Article 74.5 (ICZN 1999) since there is no explicit indication by Kelner-Pillault that she was selecting from a type series, or under Article 74.6 (ICZN 1999) since it is clear a syntype series exists. Numerous syntypes were found agreeing with the localities mentioned by Kieffer (1908). Three further specimens labelled as Serphus testaceicornis but with localities not mentioned by Kieffer (1908) are excluded from the type series. Since the syntype series is large and certainly contains more than one species, to avoid future confusion and to conserve the usage established by Townes & Townes (1981) the specimen erroneously regarded as a holotype by Kelner-Pillault (1958) and erroneously regarded as a lectotype by Townes & Townes (1981), is here designated as a lectotype. The lectotype is micro- pinned and substaged, is missing the right hind leg and is slightly mouldy. The synonymy established by Townes & Townes (1981) is followed here.
