Dieuches schultheissi Breddin 1906

Description

Dieuches schultheissi Breddin, 1906

(Figs. 29–30)

Dieuches schultheissi Breddin, 1906: 330. Holotype: ♀, [Indonesia:] NO Sumatra, Tebing Tinggi; depository not stated.

Current status. Metochus schultheissi (Breddin, 1906), combination proposed tentatively by Eyles (1973: 37). Type material examined. Holotype: ♀, “N. O. Sumatra / Tebing-tinggi / Dr.Schultheiss.”, “Coll. Breddin”; pinned, left antennal segment IV lacking (DEIC) (Figs. 29–31).

Remarks. Although the number of the examined specimens was not given, the singular case of the German noun Stück in the original description (Breddin 1906: 71) (“…beim vorliegenden Stück” = “…in the available specimen”) implicitly indicates that it was based on a single individual. The examined specimen is therefore considered as the holotype of D. schultheissi fixed by monotypy (ICZN 1999, Art. 73.1.2). For further remarks see above under D. jacobsoni.
