Régimbart, 1880: 213 (Type locality: “ Sumatra, Loeboekh [Lubuk]  Gadang ”); syn. nov.</p><p>Type material.  Hydrocanthus testaceus:   Lectotype ♀ (NHRS), by present designation. The specimen has been dislodged from its original, small, pointed card (Fig. 1) to check its sex and re-glued on a new, rectangular one. It is labelled as follows (Fig. 2): “ China [small, printed] / Kinb. [=Hjalmar Kinberg (1820-1908); small, printed] / Typus [small, printed] /  testaceus Boh. [larger, handwritten, folded paper strip] / 3390 E91 + [light blue, printed] / NHRS-JLKB 000076466 [unique specimen catalogue number]” plus our red lectotype label  .</p><p>Notes on the lectotype of  Canthydrus testaceus . The only known type specimen, a female (Fig. 1), has a rather weakly convex body (dorso-ventrally), sides of elytra (in lateral view) almost straight, very weak pronoto-elytral sinuation, and no traces of paler submedian markings on the elytra. Measurements are: total length 2.8 mm, maximum width 1.4 mm. Although the body length and maximum width are closer to the upper limit, all the other characters align fully with  C. ritsemae, as defined by Toledo &amp; Negri (2024), and exclude  Canthydrus flavus (Motschulsky, 1855) as well as the two other larger, light-colored species of  Canthydrus from Asia ( C. birmanicus Guignot, 1956 and  C. rocchii Wewalka, 1992). In light of this, we confirm that  Canthydrus testaceus (Boheman, 1858) and  C. ritsemae (Régimbart, 1880) are synonyms and the first name has priority over the second.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03E787F3FF88FFE2FF69F9CC20A9D36B	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
