Emphytus carpini Hartig, 1837

Taxonus glottianus (Cameron, 1874, Taxonus )

Distribution

Notes

Taxonus glottianus was justifiably synonymised with Ametastegia tenera by Konow (1899), because the original description strongly indicates the latter species, but after examination of the type Benson (1952) regarded Taxonus glottianus as a junior synonym of Ametastegia carpini . We follow Benson’s decision on the status of Cameron’s name.
