Description

Aspisoma lampyris (Linnaeus, 1758)

Cantharis lampyris Linnaeus 1758: 400.

Lampyris hespera Linnaeus 1767: 644. New synonym.

Remarks. This species was erroneously referred to as Aspisoma hesperum Linnaeus, 1767, but the valid name is Aspisoma lampyris (Linnaeus, 1758). In fact, Lampyris hespera Linnaeus, 1767 is a junior synonym of A. lampyris (Linnaeus, 1758) as both share the same exact description (Fig. 1).
