Capnia quadrangularis Aubert, 1946 View in CoL

Capnia quadrangularis Aubert, 1946 View in CoL — Aubert 1946: 22. (nomen novum for Capnia nigra sensu Morton 1896 View in CoL , and complementary description of the larva).

Capnia bifrons ( Newman, 1838) View in CoL — Kimmins 1947: 261. (synonymy of Capnia quadrangularis Aubert, 1946 View in CoL with Capnia bifrons ( Newman, 1838) View in CoL .

This name was given as a nomen novum for C. nigra sensu Morton 1896 View in CoL . Unfortunatelly, a type was not designated. Morton (1896) referred to British, Austrian, Czech, and Turkestan specimens without further specification. He provided an illustration of a Scottish (obviously Z. bifrons View in CoL ) and of a Turkestan specimen (the later holotype of Z. turkestanica View in CoL ). Thus, the name C. quadrangularis View in CoL cannot be attributed to a certain species and must be regarded as a nomen dubium.
