Tristactus punctatus var. candidatus Konow, 1899

A junior subjective synonym of Megalodontes judaicus ( Lepeletier, 1823) , synonymy by Taeger, 1998: 191.

Types. Tristactus punctatus var. candidatus Konow, 1899: 204 . Syntype (s) ♀, “in Asia minore prope ab Akbes urbe”. Lectotype ♀ hereby designated (MNCN_Ent 81534, MNCN Cat. Tipos Nº 8125, Fig. 09, see also http:// dx.doi.org/10.6084/m9.figshare.754590). Type locality: Turkey: Hatay: Akbes   GoogleMaps (36.857°N, 36.518°E; “Akbés”).

Discussion. All taxa formerly treated as species of Tristactus Konow, 1897 , are currently considered to belong to Megalodontes judaicus . The var. candidatus is a very pale form that was collected together with darker specimens. Benson (1968: 115) synonymized T. punctatus Konow, 1898 with judaicus . Without comment, Taeger (1998) listed T. punctatus var. candidatus as a synonym of judaicus .
