Alloxysta macrophadna ( Hartig, 1841)

Xystus macrophadnus Hartig, 1841: 352 .

Allotria filicornis Cameron, 1889: 57 (synonymized in Fergusson 1986: 10).

Type material

Lectotype of Allotria filicornis

♂, designated by Quinlan (1978: 125) with the following labels: “ Holotype ” (round label with red margins), “Cladish” (handwritten), “Cameron 96 76 Cladish”, “ filicornis Cam ” (handwritten), “ Holotype of Allotria filicornis Cam. ♂ det. J. Quinlan, 1977”, “B.M. Type Hym. 7.169”, “ Alloxysta macrophadna ( Hartig, 1841) ♂ det. Ferrer-Suay, 2012” (white label).

Remarks

Alloxysta filicornis is represented by the holotype male and five paralectotype males at BMNH.According to Quinlan’s notes (1978: 125), there is another conspecific male from England, but it is not considered a paralectotype, because the Cameron’s original description stated that the specimens were collected only in Scotland. This species was synonymized by Fergusson (1986) with A. macrophadna ( Hartig, 1841) and the validity of this synonymy is confirmed here.
