Allantus dusmeti Konow, 1894

A junior subjective synonym of Tenthredo (Elinora) baetica Spinola, 1843 , synonymy with Elinora baetica by Benson (1968: 183).

Types. Allantus Dusmeti [sic!] Konow, 1894a: 96. Syntypes ♂ ♀ “Hispania [...] Madrid und bei Rivas ” . Lectotype ♀ hereby designated ( SDEI, Fig. 19 View FIGURE 19 , see also http://dx.doi.org/10.6084/m9.figshare.821216) Type locality: Spain: Madrid . Paralectotypes: 1 ♀ ( MNCN _ Ent 82398) , 1 ♂ ( MNCN _ Ent 82399, http://dx.doi.org/10.6084/ m9.figshare.850213) both from Rivas, leg. Dusmet, 14–5– [18]93, MNCN Cat. Tipos Nº 2270 .

Discussion. Benson (1968: 183) designated a lectotype from the SDEI collection (see http://dx.doi.org/ 10.6084/m9.figshare.816890). According to the reverse of the data label, this specimen was collected on 14-5- [190]2. Therefore, Benson’s designation is invalid. Benson’s systematic placement as a synonym of the highly variable Tenthredo baetica seems to be correct. Currently, it is considered to belong to the Iberian nominotypical subspecies ( Taeger et al. 2010). The status of the more widely distributed subspecies Tenthredo (Elinora) baetica dominiquei ( Konow, 1894b) is doubtful because of the overlapping distribution areas. It is not unlikely that dominiquei is a synonym of baetica , and that in this case subspecies cannot be separated.
