Xantholinus (Calolinus) corallinus REITTER, 1901 ( Fig. 5 )

Xantholinus corallinus REITTER, 1901: 68 .

T y p e m a t e r i a l e x a m i n e d: Lectotype 3 [dissected prior to present study]:

"Buchara, Karatak / coll. Reitter / Holotypus Xantholinus corallinus Reitter 1901 [curator label] /

X. corallinus m. 1900 type / Xantholinus (Typhlolinus Reitt. sensu meo) corallinus Reit. sensu meo,

det. A. Bordoni 1972 / Lectotypus Xantholinus corallinus Reitter , rev. V. Assing 2009" (HNHM).

A d d i t i o n a l m a t e r i a l e x a m i n e d: Turkmenistan:13, Turkestan, Auli-Ata, C. Aris (HNHM).

C o m m e n t: The original description is based on an unspecified number of syntypes from "Buchara: Karatak" ( REITTER 1901). BORDONI (1999) designated the above syntype from the Reitter collection at the HNHM as the lectotype. It was not labelled as such, although BORDONI (1999) states that he attached a lectotype label to it. The aedeagus of the lectotype is illustrated in Fig. 5 .
