Audinetella bipunctata Spinola

Grazia, Jocélia & Campos, Luiz A., 2010, Neotropical Pentatomidae (Insecta: Hemiptera: Heteroptera) of the collection of Massimiliano Spinola preserved in the “ Museo Regionale de Scienze Naturali ” ̡ Turin ̡ Italy, Zoologia 27 (3), pp. 413-424 : 415

Audinetella bipunctata Spinola ̡ 1850: 128-129 ( Figs 6 ̡ 18)

= Lincus bipunctatus ( Spinola, 1850) in part; ANONYMOUS (1993: 246-247).

Material examined. One female in good condition labeled “ Lincus croupius Rolston , det. L.H. Rolston 1990”. Green label: “ Audinetella bipunctata m., D. Buquet, Cayenna”.

Remarks. This female is here designated LECTOTYPE, considering that there are two females under the same green label (see below) and to assign a single specimen of this species as the name-bearer. ROLSTON (1992: 19-21) proposed for the International Commission of Zoological Nomenclature (ICZN) the suppression of the names Audinetella and A. bipunctata in favor of Lincus and L. croupius . The ICZN decided in favor of Lincus but not of L. croupius , which has the status of a junior subjective synonym of L. bipunctatus ( ANONYMOUS 1993: 246-247).

Box 16 (16-17).
