Potamanthus ferreri F. -J. Pictet, 1843

Potamanthus Ferreri F. -J. Pictet, 1843 -1845: 203-204, pl. 25, fig. 1.

Potamanthus luteus (Linné, 1767) . – Bae & McCafferty, 1991: 53 (synonymization).

Accepted name: Potamanthus luteus (Linné, 1767) .

Locus typicus: “… aux environs de Turin...” [Italy].

Type material: Holotype [by monotypy], male imago, not traced.

Remarks: Eaton (1884) already noticed that the type was missing in F.-J. Pictet’s collection in 1867. The synonymy proposed by Bae & McCafferty (1991) is consistent with the fact that P. luteus is the only Potamanthus species found throughout Europe.
