Treatment

Maximus verrucosus ( Gebler, 1829)

resurrected as valid species from synonymy with Brachyrhinus granulatus Fischer von Waldheim, 1821 stat. res. (LT of M. verrucosus examined, photograph in WCC).

Remarks. Chromosomus fischeri (Fåhraeus, 1842) is a name currently used for a well-known species widespread in central Asia. However, it has a senior synonym, Brachyrhinus granulatus Fischer von Waldheim, 1821 . The synonymy between B. granulatus and C. fischeri has been generally recognized, at least since Faust (1904: 208) but, for unknown reasons, the correct priority was never adopted. In CPC B. granulatus was erroneously referred to the genus Maximus , as the senior synonym of M. verrucosus .
