Allorrhina nickerli Moser, 1911 View in CoL

Allorrhina Nickerli Moser, 1911: 121 View in CoL .

One paralectotype is deposited in NMPC (ex coll. Nickerl):

Paralectotype (unsexed specimen): ‘Brasilia [p] / Cuyaba [hw] // TYPUS [p, red label, black margin] // Allorrhina / Nickerli Mos. [hw] J. Moser determ. 1911 [p] // Allorrh. Nickerli / Moser typ Bras. [hw, blue label] // Allorrhina nickerli / Moser, 1911 / Paralectotypus / det. A. Bezděk & J. Hájek, 2010 [p, red label]’.

Current status. Valid species.

Remark. MOSER (1911) described this species from an unknown number of specimens of both sexes. RATCLIFFE (2004) designated a lectotype (male) and 22 paralectotypes from the syntype series found in the collection of Julius Moser (currently deposited in Museum für Naturkunde der Humboldt Universität, Berlin, Germany) and in Muséum national d’Histoire naturelle, Paris, France. Because there is no doubt about the authenticity of the specimen housed in NMPC, we have labelled it as an additional paralectotype.
