Allantus obesus Mocsáry, 1880

A senior objective synonym of Tenthredo (Cephaledo) neobesa Zombori, 1980 .

TYPES. Allantus obesus Mocsáry, 1880: 271 . Syntype (s) Ƥ, “In Alto-Balkan Bulgariae”. Primary homonym of Allantus obesus Norton, 1860 [= Eriocampa juglandis (Fitch, 1857) ]. Lectotype Ƥ, hereby designated ( Fig. 30 ). Type locality: “Balkan” [= Bulgaria: Stara planina].

= Tenthredo neobesa Zombori, 1980: 184 . Replacement name for Allantus obesus Mocsáry, 1880 .

DISCUSSION. Zombori (1977) and Taeger (1985) wrongly considered the only syntype specimen in the HNHM to be the holotype. Mocsáry (1880) did not state the number of the specimens in his description; thus, this specimen is considered to be a syntype. This specimen is hereby designated as lectotype ( Fig. 30 ). Based on Mocsáry’s original description, Blank & Taeger (1998) discussed the confusion surrounding T. pseudorossii Taeger, 1985 , T. neobesa and T. jelochovcevi . Tenthredo obesa sensu Zombori, 1977 and Tenthredo neobesa sensu Taeger, 1985 represent Tenthredo jelochovcevi Vassilev, 1971 . The proposed synonymy of T. pseudorossii is hereby confirmed.
