Cercus nectarineus Gistel, 1857: 578 [66].

Type material. NEOTYPE: ♀, ‘Risserkogelgebiet / Obb.[Oberbayern] / 19.8.1955, ca 1690 m / leg. G. Scherer // Neotypus / Cercus / nectarineus Gistel, 1857 / des. Jelínek & Audisio, 2007 // Kateretes / pedicularius (L.) / det. Jelínek, 2007’.

The description undoubtedly refers to Kateretes pedicularius ( Linnaeus, 1758) , probably female or perhaps a small male, because the characteristic sexual dimorphism in the shape of antennae, particularly prominent in larger males, is not mentioned. Cercus nectarineus Gistel, 1857 is therefore considered as a junior synonym of Kateretes pedicularius ( Linnaeus, 1758) .
