Remarks

Harold (1876) proposed the new specific name Mycotretus seminiger Harold, 1876 to replace Mycotretus dimidiatus Crotch, 1876 . Taschenberg (1870) described a species called M. dimidiatus , so therefore the name proposed by Crotch (1876) is a junior homonym. The present combination is a replacement name, Mycotretus seminiger Harold, 1876 , not Mycotretus dimidiatus Taschenberg, 1870 , fide Alvarenga (1994) and Skelley (1998b).
