Cassida prasina Illiger, 1798 View in CoL

Cassida prasina Illiger, 1798: 481 View in CoL . Cassida languida Cornelius, 1851: 88 , syn. nov.

Lectotype designation for C. languida . LECTOTYPE (designated here): ‘Elberfeld [w, hw, h] // [blue and soft circle label] // Cassida View in CoL / languida [w, hw, h] // det. / Spaeth [w, hw, h, underside of preceding label] // MZI / 86637 [w, p, s]’ ( MZPW) . PARALECTOTYPE: ‘Elberfeld [w, hw, h] // Cassida View in CoL / languida [w, hw, h] // det. / Spaeth [w, hw, h, underside of preceding label] // MZI / 86636 [w, p, s]’ (MZPW). The specimens are provided with the following additional label: ‘ LECTOTYPUS [or PARALECTOTYPUS] / L. Sekerka des. 2007 [red, p, bb, h]’.

Comments. CORNELIUS (1851) described C. languida based on material reared from larvae. This species was later synonymized with C. sanguinosa by DESBROCHERS (1891). Nevertheless, C. languida sensu Cornelius is probably a complex of species. Unfortunately, the main part of Cornelius collection was destroyed during bombings in 1943. The only specimens available to me are two syntypes of C. languida deposited in MZPW. Because both represent

C. prasina Illiger, 1798 , a lectotype designation is given above and C. languida becomes a synonym of C. prasina .
