Agrilus ocularis Deyrolle View in CoL

= bidentellus Obenberger, 1924 syn. nov.

Agrilus ocularis Deyrolle, 1864: 141 View in CoL , 179. Lectotype designated by Jendek (1998).

Agrilus bidentellus Obenberger, 1924a: 562 View in CoL , 584–585. Lectotype (designated by Bellamy 1993), sex not determined, USNM: “Sandakan Borneo Baker [p] \ 13821 [h] \ TYPUS [p] [red label] \ Agrilus bidentellus View in CoL m. Type [h] Det. Dr Obenberger [p] \ TypeNo. [p] 57695 [h] U.S. N.M. [p] [red label] \ Agrilus bidentellus Obenb. View in CoL [h] [red label]”. The exact number of syntypes is unknown.

Remarks. The original description of A. bidentellus Obenberger neither implies nor requires that there were syntypes. Bellamy (1993: 359), by mentioning “the holotype ”, validly fixed the lectotype (ICZN, Article 74.6).

Agrilus praeoccupatus Hoscheck, 1931: 742 . R emoval from synonymy.

Remarks. Obenberger (1936d: 1095) cited the name praeoccupatus Hoscheck, 1931 as an unavailable synonym of A. ocularis Deyrolle, 1864 . Hoscheck did not propose this replacement name for A. ocularis Deyrolle, 1864 but for “ Agrilus ocularis Kerremans (1912) ”, originally assigned to the genus Aphanisticus and considered by Obenberger (1936d) as a synonym of Endelus tristis Kerremans, 1900 . Thus the name praeoccupatus Hoscheck is an objective available synonym of Endelus ocularis Kerremans, 1912 and a subjective synonym of Endelus tristis Kerremans, 1900 .
