flavicornis Macquart, 1855 View in CoL , Aricia
Aricia flavicornis Macquart, 1855a: 137 ( 1855b: 117) , pl. 6, fig. 12. Lectotype ♀, of Fernando Póo Island (not “Amérique méridionale. Saint-Fernando. M. Bigot.”, as stated by Macquart), by present designation, in OUMNH.
MATERIAL. — Described from Bigot’s collection, where there is now 1 ♀ syntype in that part of the Bigot collection in OUMNH. Right mid leg missing, but otherwise in good condition. It is labelled by Macquart “ Aricia / flavicornis / ♀. Macq.” and stands over a Bigot drawer label “ Sp. [ Spilogaster ] flavicornis. ♀. / Aricia . id. Macq. / Fernandopo. J. Bigot.”. Macquart was mistaken in quoting the locality as in South America, and in any case this is quite clearly an African species. I have labelled and designate herewith this ♀ as lectotype.
CURRENT IDENTITY. — This is a good species of Alluaudinella Giglio-Tos, 1895 , and an older name for the species previously known as Alluaudinella fulvovittata Malloch, 1921 , as currently understood ( Paterson 1960: 359, 361; Pont 1980: 738). The type was also studied by Stein (1907b: 275) who recognized it as a species close to Alluaudinella bivittata ( Macquart, 1843) .
