Remarks. Ter-Minasyan (1972) used the name Leucochromus consobrinus Faust, 1904 for a specimen from Mongolia, that nevertheless she described and labeled as “ holotype ” of L. consobrinus Faust. Faust (1904) had used the name Leucochromus lehmanni var. consobrinus for specimens from Aulie Ata, in Kazakhstan, sympatric with the type form but characterized by the lighter colour ( Faust 1904: 191–192). The name is therefore infrasubspecific. Faust indeed had combined Cleonus lehmanni Ménétriés, 1849 and its variety consobrinus twice, once in Leucochromus and the second time in Epilectus (= Epexochus ) ( Faust 1904: 208). During the preparation of his monograph he probably recognized that the species does not belong to Leucochromus , and recombined it in Epilectus , without deleting the entry in Leucochromus . The editor of the Deutsche Entomologische Zeitschrift, who managed the publication of Faust’s work after his death, did not notice the double appearance of these names. In the catalogue of the species ( Faust 1904: 265) lehmanni and its variety are only listed in Epilectus . Meregalli & Talamelli (2009) erroneously considered Ter-Minasyan (1972) to have made Faust’s name available for the population from Aulie Ata, according to Art. 45.6.4.1, and used Ter- Minasyan’s specimen from Mongolia as the holotype of E. mongolicus Meregalli & Talamelli, 2009 . Indeed, according to Art. 45.5.1, Ter-Minasyan had validly, though inadvertently, described a new species as Leucochromus consobrinus Ter-Minasyan, 1972 .
