Description

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.
