Sciaphobus (Sciaphobus) setosulus ( Germar, 1824) View in CoL

Eusomus setosulus Germar, 1824: 461 View in CoL (original description).

Sciaphobus (Sciaphobus) setosulus: APFELBECK (1922) View in CoL : 18 (review); WINKLER (1932): 1470 (catalogue); DALLA TORRE et al. (1937): 161 (catalogue); DIECKMANN (1980): 253 (fauna); BOROVEC (2013): 385 (catalogue).

Type locality. ‘Illyria [= historical territory in western Balkans corresponding roughly to present day Slovenia, Croatia and southwestern Austria]’.

Type material examined. LECTOTYPE (present designation): ♀ (3.84 mm long), ‘[triangular handwritten label with about 2 illegible letters] / MLU Halle, WB Zoologie, S. - Nr., T. -Nr. 9/1/21 [partly printed, partly handwritten]’ ( MLUH) . PARALECTOTYPES: 3 unsexed, ‘MLU Halle, WB Zoologie, S.-Nr., T.-Nr. 9/1/21 [partly printed, partly handwritten]’ ( MLUH). All specimens provided with additional labels: ‘ LECTOTYPUS Eusomus setosulus Germar, R. Borovec et J. Skuhrovec desig.2014 [red, printed] / Sciaphobus setosulus (Germar) R. Borovec det. 2014 [printed]’.

Remarks. GERMAR (1824) described the species generally from ‘Illyria’ and did not specify the number of specimens he had at disposal. There are four specimens pinned under the handwritten label ‘ setosulus Dhl. Schönh. , hirtellus Stm., aurarius Dej., Carniol. Schm.’ in Germar’s collection (MLUH). We designate one female as a lectotype to stabilize the nomenclature in the group. All four specimen are in accordance with the present-day concept of the species as used in the literature.
