Polymoria halyomorphae Risbec, 1951 View in CoL

Polymoria halyomorphae Risbec, 1951a: 243-245 View in CoL . Original description, ♀, Senegal, Bambey ; 1950a: 404 (nomen nudum); 1960a: 656 (catalogued). — Herting 1971: 88 (catalogued).

Calosota halyomorphae View in CoL – Hedqvist 1970: 420-423, 439 (lectotype designation, change of combination, redescribed, figured, keyed). — Gibson 1989: 63 (catalogued).

CURRENT TAXONOMIC STATUS. — Calosota halyomorphae (Risbec,1951) View in CoL .

TYPE MATERIAL. — General collection. Lectotype ♀: “ Polymoria / halyo [mo] rphae Risbec/ ex ω. Halyomorpha / annulicornis [label detached from a slide, in Risbec’s handwriting]; Lectotypus ♀ / Polymoria / halyomorphae / Risb./ K-J Hedqvist det. 1965; Calosota / halyomorphae ”.

REMARKS

This species was described based on at least two specimens: “Longueur du corps:3,2 et 2,85 mm”. Hedqvist (1970) reports seeing two specimens on one slide (slide MNHN.14.68 is missing), but there is only one remounted female in the general collection (the lectotype). In BMNH there is a specimen without locality data, originating from Hedqvist’s personal collection but with an identification label by Hedqvist: “ Calosota / halyomorphae / (Risb./ ♀ / K-J Hedqvist det. 69”. This is a paralectotype of Polymoria halyomorphae since Hedqvist (1970), when redescribing the species, mentions only the two Risbec’s syntypes, without any other additional specimens.
