Brachylinga antennata (Kröber)

antennata Kröber (1911: 498 male key, 500 fem. key, 508 orig. desc.; 1913:29 dist.; 1928a:5 dist., 8 male key, 11 fem. key) ( Psilocephala View in CoL ); Metz et al. (2003:22 comb. change) ( Brachylinga View in CoL ). Type locality Chile, Concepción. Syntypes in Hermann Collection. Nomen dubium.

Kröber (1911) deposited male and female specimens of Psilocephala antennata View in CoL in the Hermann collection. No specimens determined by Kröber as Psilocephala antennata View in CoL have been located in the collections of the NHW, USNM, ZMHB or ZSMC and they are presumed lost or destroyed. In his original description Kröber (1911:508) indicated that the scape was spherical. Numerous specimens of Brachylinga View in CoL from Chile have been examined during this study and no specimens with a spherical scape were found. The two species of Brachylinga View in CoL known from Chile ( B. chilensis View in CoL and B. sericeifrons View in CoL ) have been collected at Concepción, the type locality of P. antennata View in CoL , but have the length of the scape longer than wide (as in Kröber 1928b:35 Fig. 4). Since no specimens of Brachylinga View in CoL from Chile matched Kröber’s description of Psilocephala antennata View in CoL and none of the syntypes have been located and are presumed lost or destroyed we propose that Psilocephala antennata Kröber View in CoL be considered a nomen dubium.
