Mycetoporus punctipennis
SCRIBA, 1868
Mycetoporus insulanus
LUZE, 1901: 693
;
syn. nov.
Mycetoporus insulanus
was described based on a male
holotype
labelled “Corfu Reitter /
insulanus
m. det. Luze / TYPUS /
insulanus
/
Holotypus
♂
Mycetoporus insulanus
Luze
/
Mycetoporus punctipennis
Scriba
det. M. Schülke 2017” deposited in the collections of the NHMW. The
holotype
had been examined and dissected by M. Kocian (Prague). The internal structures of the aedeagus are identical to those of
Mycetoporus punctipennis
, a widespread Ponto-Mediterranean species with pronounced variability of elytral length, elytral chaetotaxy, and microsculpture. Therefore,
M. insulanus
is synonymized with
M. punctipennis
.
