Philonthus tucumanensis Bernhauer, 1927 : 245 ; Scheerpeltz, 1933 : 1365 (catalog); Blackwelder, 1944 : 135 (list); Herman, 2001 : 2982 (catalog); Chani-Posse, 2004: 231 (list). Type material. Lectotype (here designated; Figs. 3 a–b), Ƥ, “ San Pedro Colalao / Tucum. Weiser”, “ tucumanensis Bernh. / Typus don. Bruch” (yellow label), “Chicago NHMus. / M. Bernhauer Collection”, “ Lectotype Philonthus tucumanensis Bernhauer, 1927 / Des. Chani-Posse de Maus 2008” ( FMNH ). Additional material. ARGENTINA : San Luis: 2533, 4ƤƤ, Irideus, Quebrada del Tala, 1100 m , 32°39'01''S , 64°57'23''W , litter in moist narrow quebrada, 8.XII.2000 , L. Herman ( AMNH ); Tucumán: 3, Ƥ, Villa Nougués, 1350 m , 11.XII.1971 , L. Herman ( AMNH ). Notes. I designate the lectotype rather than assume that the above specimen is the holotype , since in the original description Bernhauer (1927) gave no information about the number of specimens examined. Therefore, it is possible that this name was based on more than one specimen ( ICZN 1999, Recommendation 73F ). The lectotype agrees with the original description by Bernhauer (1927) . Comments. Arguments supporting the transfer of P. tucumanensis to Gabrius are given in Discussion for G. n i d i c o l a , see below.
