Phanaeus palaeno excisicornis Balthasar, 1939 View in CoL

Phanaeus palaeno ssp. exisicornis [sic!] Balthasar, 1939b: 247.

The holotype is deposited in NMPC (ex coll. V. Balthasar):

HOLOTYPE (J): ‘Mato Grosso / Zobrys [p] // Typus [p, red label, black frame] // ssp. excisi- / cornis m. [hw] / Dr. V. Balthasar det. [p] // H. Blut determ. [p] / Phanaeus / pretiosus [hw] // Mus. Nat. Pragae / Inv. [p], 26356 [hw, orange label] // ssp.excisicornis m. [hw, green label, black frame] // TYPUS [p, red label, black frame] // Phanaeus [p] / palaeno / n.syn. [hw] / P.

Current status. Junior subjective synonym of Phanaeus (Notiophanaeus) palaeno Blanchard, 1843 , see ARNAUD (1982), EDMONDS (1994) and EDMONDS & ZÍDEK (2012).

Remark. Original spelling ‘ exisicornis ’ should be corrected to ‘ excisicornis ’ in accordance with Article 32.5.1. of ICZN (1999). It is evident from the original description, that the taxon is characterized mainly by excised transverse carina on its head. Moreover, the spelling ‘ excisicornis ’ was used by Balthasar himself on the identification label.
