Puto janetscheki Balachowsky View in CoL

Puto janetscheki Balachowsky, 1953a: 295 View in CoL .

Puto alpinus Balachowsky, 1953a: 298 View in CoL . Synonymy by Marotta and Tranfaglia, 1993: 177. Macrocerococcus janetscheki ; Tang, 1992: 398. Change of combination.

This alpine Puto View in CoL species was described from various plants in the Hautes Alpes of southeastern France. Puto alpinus View in CoL was described based on the third-instar female and was synonymised with P. janetscheki by Marotta and Tranfaglia (1993). The claws are without denticles, but other features of the adult female are typical for Puto View in CoL species, including the presence of a pair of basal spurs on each claw. We agree with the illustration of this species given by Marotta and Tranfaglia (1993) but we provide additional information on the antennal sensilla in Table 1.
